Activision has released a new behind-the-scenes video for its action-brawler, Transformers: Devastation, featuring exclusive insights from developer PlatinumGames.
In this latest video, PlatinumGames producer Atsushi Kurooka, director Kenji Saito and Activision producer Robert Conkey explore how Transformers: Devastation combines the world of the Transformers Generations story universe with the one-of-a-kind style of PlatinumGames.
