Summary

  • Splash Damage cancels Transformers: Reactivate, leading to potential layoffs.
  • No Transformers game in development; Reactivate cancellation leaves gap.
  • Poor publicity and 3DClouds’ obscurity contributed to Reactivate’s lack of recognition.

At The Game Awards two years back, we didn’t get many updates about Splash Damage’s (Brink) project, Transformers: Reactivate. However, there’s an explanation for the lack of news, as the game has actually been scrapped.

On Twitter/X, Splash Damage revealed some news, and they hinted at potential job reductions within their organization.

Transformers: Reactivate Fails To Assemble

Reactivate,” a tough piece of news to share.

In simpler terms, the studio communicates that due to various circumstances, several positions within the studio might be facing job cuts, although they haven’t specified an exact number of employees who may be affected.

As a devoted fan, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the team behind this fantastic game for their unwavering dedication and burning passion that shines through every aspect of it. And let’s not forget to acknowledge Hasbro as our esteemed partner in this journey. Here’s hoping we have more opportunities to collaborate together in the future!

At last, they wrap it up by acknowledging that not being able to deliver the game is agonizing, but parting ways with friends and colleagues is an even greater heartache. Right now, our priority lies in providing them all the support we can during this challenging phase. We’re equally dedicated to nurturing those who will continue their journey with us as we strive to build a more robust Splash Damage for the future.

In case you’re not familiar, Transformers: Reactivate was intended as a multiplayer online action game, playable by 1 to 4 individuals. The game was scheduled for release on both computers (PC) and video game consoles.

In this game, you’re informed that the most dangerous adversary to humankind has triumphed, and now Earth is their domain. All we possess is our faith in the Autobots, as we rescue them from the debris they were hidden within.

Since Transformers: Reactivate has been officially shelved, as of now, there’s no active video game project using this intellectual property in development. The last game to be released under the license was Transformers: Galactic Trials, which hit shelves in October 2024.

You’re not expected to be familiar with it since it hasn’t been widely distributed, and the company behind it, 3DClouds, isn’t as well-known yet.

Regarding Splash Damage, their ongoing project remains undisclosed, as their latest game release, “Outcasters” from 2020 on Google Stadia, did not garner significant attention within the gaming community.
