A new action game is on the way as Activision has announced Transformers Devastation. The game is being developed by PlatinumGames. Transformers Devastation is a 3D action brawler made by the same studio responsible for games like Metal Gear Rising and the popular Bayonetta series. Check out the features of Transformers Devastation below: The Platinum Touch – Forged with PlatinumGames' one-of-a-kind talent for over-the-top combat with jaw-dropping style, TRANSFORMERS: Devastation harnesses the raw power and speed of the TRANSFORMERS characters for a totally unique and electrifying action experience. Chain together moves– shifting between robot and vehicle forms on the fly – to fuel massive attacks, combos and counters against the towering forces of the DECEPTICONS.

Legendary Characters – Leaping from the screen with vibrant colour and bold edges, PlatinumGames' take on the TRANSFORMERS brand evokes the classic look of their origins with modern cel-shaded animation and visual effects. Renowned series voice actors like Dan Gilvezan, Frank Welker and Peter Cullen have returned to bring life to this monumental battle between good and evil.

A Galactic Showdown – Igniting with an original story inspired by classic TRANSFORMERS comic book adventures, TRANSFORMERS: Devastation races between Cybertron and Earth toward a climacticconfrontation between the heroes of the AUTOBOTS and the leaders of the DECEPTICONS. Play as OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE, SIDESWIPE, WHEELJACK and GRIMLOCK – each upgradeable with new weapons, stats and skills – to take down MEGATRON, DEVASTATOR and their allies. Transformers Devastation is due out later this year for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.
