Niantic, developer of Pokémon Go, has announced its involvement in another new mobile AR game project – Transformers: Heavy Metal.
This real-world robot-battling phone game is being developed by another studio, the Seattle-based Very Very Spaceship, though will use Niantic's Lightship platform and well-oiled augmented reality toolset.
Images of the game show Pokémon Go raid-style battles between autobots, as well as a familiar-looking world map.
