Splash Damage has announced they’ve canceled Transformers: Reactivate, their online multiplayer action game revealed back in 2022.

Development on Transformers: Reactivate has been canceled and the team at Splash Damage is refocusing on other projects. 

The studio is scaling down overall development in the hopes of avoiding potential layoffs, though they said “a number of roles across the studio are now potentially at risk of redundancy.”

Here’s the full message from Splash Damage:

Today, we have some very difficult news to share, the decision has been made to end development of Transformers: Reactivate.

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.

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.

While not being able to see the game through to release is painful, having to say goodbye to friends and colleagues hurts even more. We’re now focused on doing everything we can to support them through this tough period, just as we are committed to caring for those who will stay with us as we build a stronger Splash Damage for the future.

Thank you for your compassion and understanding.
