Leaked gameplay footage of the canceled Transformers: Reactivate has re-emerged online. Initially announced in 2022 by Splash Damage in collaboration with Hasbro, the co-op game was to feature Generation 1 Autobots and Decepticons uniting against an alien threat, "the Legion."
Despite initial excitement, the game saw minimal public appearances beyond leaks and related merchandise. Subsequent cancellation by Splash Damage, citing a shift in focus to other projects and potential redundancies, left fans disappointed.
Recently resurfaced footage, from a 2020 build, 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, albeit with a different antagonist. The leaked footage, while showing some unfinished textures, appears polished and includes environmental destruction. A silent cutscene depicts Bumblebee emerging from a portal in a ruined New York City, communicating with an ally named Devin.
Numerous other leaks, dating back to 2020, further illustrate the game's development. Although Transformers: Reactivate will not be released, the leaked footage offers a glimpse into the ambitious project's potential.
