Activision is preparing to launch a cel-shaded console game entitled Transformers: Devastation at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) game tradeshow in Los Angeles next week, according to game news site Pure Xbox.

The leak shows that Activision’s appetite for making games from the Transformers franchise hasn’t been hurt by a poorly rated movie (critics hated the Michael Bay Transformers flicks) and an equally poorly rated game the last time around. Activision released Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark in June 2014. The game received average ratings of around 40 out of 100 on Metacritic, the game review score aggregator.
