Leaked Gameplay Footage Resurfaces After Game Cancellation (Transformers: Reactivate)

Summary

Cancelled Transformers: Reactivate gameplay footage has re-emerged online following the game's recent cancellation. The co-op title, initially unveiled by Splash Damage in 2022, was a collaboration with Hasbro.

Leaked gameplay footage, originating from a 2020 build, showcases Bumblebee navigating a destroyed cityscape, seamlessly transforming between robot and vehicle modes, and utilizing various weapons. The gameplay bears resemblance to Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, but features a unique alien enemy force known as "the Legion."

Despite its cancellation, the leaked footage reveals a polished game with environmental destruction effects and an unfinished cutscene depicting Bumblebee's arrival in a ravaged New York City. While the project ultimately failed to launch, the leaks offer fans a look at the potential of this ambitious multiplayer Transformers game. Numerous other leaks from 2020, predating the official announcement, also exist online.

Though Transformers: Reactivate will never be released, the available footage provides a glimpse into Splash Damage's vision for this ultimately unsuccessful Transformers title.
