The director of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is leading development on Platinum Games’ Transformers: Devastation.

In a post on the PlayStation Blog, Kenji Saito provided more details on the game.

“Within the world of this long-running series with countless fans, we wanted to make an exhilarating action experience that focused uniquely on what draws so many people to Transformers: robots and vehicles,” he said.

“The key is action that combines these two concepts, allowing players to freely switch modes whenever needed, racing around the city in vehicle mode and pounding on the enemy in robot mode.” Saito added, before going on to discuss the reasoning behind the look of the game, “for our take on the iconic robots in disguise, we wanted to combine original Transformers characters and 80s inspired Japanese anime with a more modern, cel-shaded flair.”
