Transformers: Reactivate Gameplay Footage Leaks After Game’s Cancellation

Cancelled Transformers Game: Leaked Gameplay Footage Surfaces

Recently cancelled by Splash Damage, gameplay footage of the co-op Transformers: Reactivate has re-emerged online. Announced in 2022, the game promised a multiplayer experience featuring Generation 1 Autobots and Decepticons uniting against an alien threat to Earth.

Despite the 2022 announcement at The Game Awards, little official gameplay was shown. Leaks and associated merchandise offered only glimpses. The cancellation announcement, unsurprisingly, followed growing fan concern. Splash Damage cited a shift in focus to other projects, potentially leading to staff redundancies.

Shortly after cancellation, leaked footage from a 2020 build surfaced. This footage showcases Bumblebee navigating a destroyed city, seamlessly transforming between robot and vehicle modes, and utilizing various weapons. The gameplay bears resemblance to Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, but pits Bumblebee against "the Legion," an alien force serving as Reactivate's primary antagonists.

Despite some missing textures, the leaked footage displays a polished look, including environmental destruction. The clip concludes with an unfinished, silent cutscene. Bumblebee emerges from a portal in a ravaged New York City, communicating with an ally named Devin about the Legion's attacks.

Numerous other leaks, dating back to 2020, predate the official announcement and eventual cancellation. While Transformers: Reactivate remains unplayed, these leaks offer a look at Splash Damage's ambitious, yet ultimately unsuccessful, multiplayer Transformers project.
