Transformers: Rise Of The Dark Spark - What Happened To High Moon?

Many fans were more than a little disappointed to hear that High Moon Studios would not be working on the third game in the War For Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron series. But if not Transformers, what are they working on? Recent job postings on Activision Blizzard's website may provide some insight.
Multiple job postings have appeared on the Activision Blizzard website for jobs working with High Moon Studios in Carlsbad, CA. One makes mention of a high-profile first-person shooter that will utilize Radiant Engine, a variant of id Software's GtkRadiant engine that is used for the Call of Duty series. Another listing reveals that the game will be on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The next Call of Duty is being developed by a different studio for the Xbox One and Playstation 4- could High Moon be working on a previous-gen edition of CoD? There's precedent for that- when the software generations shifted from PS2 to PS3 quite a few high profile games had separately-developed last-gen equivalents- games like Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and Ghostbusters: The Video Game just to name a couple.

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is being developed by Edge of Reality and will be released for PC, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, WiiU, and 3DS. The latter is a tactical RPG being developed by portable/retro gaming experts Wayforward Technologies, but if there's a separate developer for the last-gen versions of RotDS they have not been announced. Since the Transformers games are technically third-person shooters and will be released in just a few months, the High Moon job listings could not possibly be for this game.

Edge of Reality is primarily known for porting games to platforms rather than creating them from the ground up. One of the few original games on their Wikipedia page is 2008's The Incredible Hulk -which for its similarities to Radical Entertainment's earlier Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction may as well have been a port. In that sense they may be a good choice to pick up where High Moon left off. While they're not High Moon and there's big metal shoes to fill on the Cybertron series, we'll continue to hope for the best.
