Summary
Leaked gameplay footage of the canceled Transformers: Reactivate has re-emerged online. The co-op title, announced in 2022 by Splash Damage in collaboration with Hasbro, was to feature Generation 1 Autobots and Decepticons uniting against an alien threat. Despite limited public previews, leaks and related merchandise hinted at the game's development. Following its cancellation, older leaked footage (circa 2020) showcasing Bumblebee's gameplay has resurfaced. This footage reveals a Fall of Cybertron-esque style, with Bumblebee battling "the Legion," the game's intended antagonists, in a destructible environment. While unfinished, the footage demonstrates a polished aesthetic, including a silent cutscene depicting Bumblebee's arrival in a ravaged New York City. Although the game will not be released, the leaks offer a look at Splash Damage's vision.
Transformers: Reactivate Gameplay Footage Re-emerges
Recently surfaced leaked footage from a 2020 build of Transformers: Reactivate offers a glimpse into the canceled game's potential. Despite some missing textures, the gameplay looks refined, featuring environmental destruction as Bumblebee navigates a city, seamlessly transforming between robot and vehicle modes and utilizing various weapons. The style is reminiscent of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, but pits Bumblebee against the alien "Legion." The leak concludes with a soundless cutscene showing Bumblebee's arrival in New York City and communication with an ally named Devin regarding the Legion's attacks. Numerous other leaks from 2020, predating the game's announcement and subsequent cancellation, further illustrate the project's development. While unplayable, these leaks provide insight into Splash Damage's ambitious, yet ultimately unsuccessful, Transformers multiplayer endeavor.
