Splash Damage has officially announced that Transformers: Reactivate is cancelled. The announcement comes over two years after they initially announced the game. Over the last few years, several pieces of leaked footage, merch, and more surfaced. However, the previously announced multiplayer game will no longer be going forward.
Splash Damage states the following about the announcement:
Today, we have some very difficult news to share, the decision has been made to end development of Transformers: Reactivate.
This means we will be scaling down to refocus our efforts on other projects. Unfortunately, despite every effort, a number of roles across the studio are now potentially at risk of redundancy.
This decision did not come lightly, and it is a difficult time for the studio and our people. We want to take a moment to thank the team who worked on Transformers for their dedication and passion.
Hasbro was an incredible and supportive partner throughout, and we hope to work with them again. To the many fans, your excitement and support helped keep us going.
While not being able to see the game through to release is painful, having to say goodbye to friends and colleagues hurts even more. We’re now focused on doing everything we can to support them through this tough period, just as we are committed to caring for those who will stay with us as we build a stronger Splash Damage for the future.
Thank you for your compassion and understanding.
Currently, the future of the Transformers gaming and film franchise is unknown. Hasbro will likely reveal more details about both in the coming months and years.
