Activision today released a new trailer for Transformers: Devastation, the upcoming action game from Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising developer Platinum Games.

This isn't our first look at Devastation, the existence of which was leaked in early June before being officially confirmed at E3. But the new trailer shows more of the game in action than the video released during E3, offering a better look at the giant Devastator enemy glimpsed previously, as well as the classic, Transformers: Generation 1-style characters.

We also get to see some of the game's combat, which includes the ability to juggle enemies in mid-air. When we got to go hands-on with it last month, we found it to be similar to Bayonetta (it even offers a Witch Time-esque mechanic), albeit a somewhat simpler version, with fewer weapons and combos to concern yourself with.

Devastation harkens back to old-school Transformers; Activision told us at E3 that it's "paying homage to the rich history of the brand. Recently, it's been gritty and real, we're changing that and going towards the classic stuff from the Transformers universe."

Although Platinum has quite a few projects in the works currently, including Scalebound, the new Nier, and Star Fox Zero, Devastation is due out in a matter of months--it's set for release later this year on Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
