SEGA’s Next Big Arcade Game: Transformers Shadow Rising

SEGA has had a huge presence in license arcade cabinets, all the way from its conception as a company moving on to their golden age of Japanese arcades. SEGA’s next big licensed arcade game happens to be another Transformers title, being a sequel to 2013’s Transformers: Human Alliance. Transformers Shadow Rising has been showing that Amusement Expo 2018 in its early beta stages. The game so far has been revealed to be 75% complete. It is funny though, that the game’s title reminds me of that one Wheel of Time book… 

Our friends over at Arcade Heroes had a big preview on the new upcoming game, talking about how the game is very similar to 2013 Transformers: Human Alliance but with more focus on co-op. SEGA Amusements has also released a press release which you can read after the jump.

The blockbuster TRANSFORMERS films have been a hit with fans around the globe, making this iconic brand a worldwide phenomenon.

This latest title features a sensational cabinet, which is based on the truck vehicle mode of the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime. With gorgeous chrome exhausts, big grill and lifelike Optimus Prime head it is designed to stand out in any location.

The game has 4 levels all displayed on a 55” monitor. As well as the fixed controllers, players can use the brand new ‘Hyperenergy Tech’ lever to either tactically destroy multiple enemies at once or defend against difficult enemy attack moves.

Keeping with the video theme, SEGA also exhibited its other high income generating games such as Daytona Championship USA.

Leading the way with unique redemption games that players love, SEGA presented Pirate Falls, a brand-new pirate-themed redemption game. Using the unique barrel controller, that rolls left to right; players must keep the pirate balanced to collect treasures that fall down the waterfall and think quickly to avoid bombs. Players can win the super ticket bonus by collecting the letters to spell “Pirates”.

Another new mechanical redemption game on stand was Maze Escape.
