Transformers: Devastation Being Developed by Platinum Games

Written by Brandon Hofer on June 22, 2015

News: The Transformers have a new game coming out this year but it is from a developer that no one would have ever guessed.

Platinum Games is making a new title but it isn’t one anyone expected. They are teaming up with Activision to release a new Transformers game that will star the Transformers Generations characters. Based on Hasbro’s colossal entertainment franchise, TRANSFORMERS: Devastation is a third-person action-brawler game with a breathtaking comic book-inspired visual style.

Forged with PlatinumGames’ gift for fast-paced action and mesmerizing art design, Transformers: Devastation harnesses the unique abilities of its heroes to convert from robot to vehicle form to extraordinary effect. In this dynamic, combo-fueled experience, players battle as one of five Autobots – Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Wheeljack and Grimlock. Throughout the game, players unlock new skills, forge new weapons, and augment their characters to battle against the vicious Decepticons, including Megatron and the powerful combiner Devastator.

PlatinumGames utilizes cel-shaded artwork to create contemporary versions of the bold, brightly colored designs of the original Transformers characters. The game features a story inspired by the IDW comic book universe and includes the talents of legendary voice actors like Dan Gilvezan as Bumblebee, Frank Welker as Megatron and Soundwave, Gregg Berger as Grimlock, and Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime.
Transformers: Devastation is expected to arrive later this year on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Windows PC via Steam. Will you be picking it up?
