Splash Damage has officially canceled its Transformers game, Reactivate, after a prolonged and difficult development process. This decision, announced via Twitter, may unfortunately lead to staff layoffs. The studio is now fully focused on Project Astrid, a AAA open-world survival game utilizing Unreal Engine 5, a project announced in March 2023 and developed in collaboration with streamers Shroud and Sacriel.
Initially revealed at The Game Awards 2022, Reactivate was envisioned as a 1-4 player online game pitting Autobots and Decepticons against a new alien threat. While leaks suggested a Generation 1 roster including Ironhide, Hot Rod, Starscream, and Soundwave (with Optimus Prime and Bumblebee also rumored), and even the possibility of Beast Wars characters, the project ultimately failed to materialize. The lack of updates following the initial trailer fueled speculation of its cancellation.
Splash Damage expressed gratitude to its development team and Hasbro for their support. Fan reaction to the cancellation is varied, with some expressing disappointment while others anticipated the outcome given the prolonged silence. The cancellation of Reactivate redirects the studio's resources to Project Astrid, but the shift comes at the cost of job losses within the team. The wait for a high-quality Transformers game continues.
