Transformers Reactivate cancelled by Splash Damage

"A number of roles across the studio are now potentially at risk of redundancy."

Transformers Reactivate has been cancelled by Splash Damage, which adds that “a number of roles across the studio are now potentially at risk of redundancy” as a result.

“The decision has been made to end development of Transformers: Reactivate,” Splash Damage wrote on Twitter. 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.”

The studio added that, “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.”

Transformers Reactivate was first announced by Splash Damage in December 2022. It was intended to be a 1-4 person co-op action title.
