The gameplay is a third-person shooter, similar to that of War for Cybertron. Furthermore, the Decepticons intend to try to derail their efforts at every opportunity they have as both groups strive to survive. Optimus Prime is unaware that the Decepticons are aware of their plans and are planning their escape as well. They have been working covertly on constructing a large vessel called “The Ark,” and they are currently getting it ready for launch.
Since the Autobots, headed by Optimus Prime, cannot stop Cybertron from dying, they have no choice but to abandon their home planet and search for a new world to call home to survive. Following their victory over Trypticon, the Autobots have successfully slowed down the attacks of Megatron and the Decepticons under his command, but they are now faced with a new challenge. After the events of its predecessor, Fall of Cybertron takes place in a universe in which the Autobots and the Decepticons are still engaged in combat with one another.
