After the cancellation of Transformers: Reactivate, some old gameplay footage has resurfaced. Back in 2022, Splash Damage announced their partnership with Hasbro to develop a multiplayer Transformers game named Transformers: Reactivate. This game was set to let players control their favorite Generation 1 Autobots and Decepticons, who would have to work together to fend off an alien threat to Earth.
After its announcement at The Game Awards 2022, there has been minimal information about Transformers: Reactivate, with only a handful of leaks and a few related action figures to keep fans engaged. As Splash Damage confirmed the game’s cancellation, many players had already started to worry about its fate. The developer is now focusing on different projects, and it appears that some staff members involved with Transformers: Reactivate could be let go because of redundancies.
Shortly after the announcement of the game’s cancellation, some previously leaked footage from a 2020 version of Transformers: Reactivate has resurfaced online. This gives fans a glimpse of what the gameplay might have entailed. In the footage, Bumblebee is seen navigating a devastated city, shooting and driving while effortlessly transforming between his robot form and a buggy-like vehicle. The gameplay bears a striking resemblance to Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, but instead of battling Decepticons, Bumblebee faces off against a mysterious alien force known as “the Legion,” which would have been the primary villains in Reactivate.
Transformers: Reactivate Gameplay Footage Resurfaces
Although there are a couple of textures that seem to be missing, the leaked footage of Transformers: Reactivate appears quite refined. It showcases some impressive environmental destruction as Bumblebee navigates through trees on his way to his mission. At the end of the gameplay clip, viewers can catch a glimpse of an unfinished cutscene, albeit without any audio. Bumblebee steps out of a portal in the ruins of New York City and communicates with his ally Devin regarding the Legion’s assaults.
There are many leaks regarding Transformers: Reactivate, with some tracing back to 2020, two years before Splash Damage made the project public and about two years before it was ultimately shelved. While gamers won’t have the opportunity to play Transformers: Reactivate, they can still see what Splash Damage envisioned for this exciting, though ultimately doomed, multiplayer experience.
