Cancelled Transformers Game: Leaked Gameplay Footage Surfaces
Recently cancelled Transformers: Reactivate, a co-op game announced in 2022 by Splash Damage and Hasbro, has resurfaced in the form of leaked gameplay footage. This footage, originating from a 2020 build, offers a glimpse into the game's potential.
The leaked footage showcases Bumblebee navigating a destroyed city, seamlessly transforming between robot and vehicle modes, and utilizing various weapons. The gameplay style bears resemblance to Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, but pits Bumblebee against an alien force known as "the Legion," rather than Decepticons. Despite some unfinished textures, the footage displays a polished look, even incorporating environmental destruction. A silent cutscene concludes the clip, showing Bumblebee emerging from a portal in New York City and communicating with an ally named Devin.
While numerous leaks dating back to 2020 existed prior to the game's official announcement and subsequent cancellation, this latest surfacing provides a clearer picture of the game's development progress. Though Transformers: Reactivate will not be released, the leaked footage allows fans to appreciate the potential of this ambitious, ultimately unsuccessful, multiplayer title.

Developed by Splash Damage in collaboration with Hasbro and Takara Tomy.
