Niantic, Hasbro, and TOMY Company have teamed up and announced the Transformers: Heavy Metal, an augmented-reality game that brings Optimus Prime and Bumblebee to life in the real world through the Niantic Lightship platform. Lightship is Niantic’s planet-scale AR platform that regulates the standard for AR. Also, with that, it brings real-time 3D mapping and multiplayer social experiences for the players. With Niantic Lightship ARDK, developers can build their own AR worlds and experiences using tools that supports location, environmental context, and shared multiplayer views.
Transformers is the perfect franchise for AR. Battling and interacting with giant robots in the real world is an amazing experience, We want to live up to the high expectations of Transformers fans around the world and bring them a game, unlike anything they’ve played before.
