Transformers: Reactivate Cancelled

After years in development, Splash Damage recently shared via social media that its work on Transformers: Reactivate would end prematurely. Unfortunately, this also means that employees are “at risk of redundancy”. Splash Damage went on to thank Transformers IP holder Hasbro for working with the company, and hopes that they could collaborate on projects in the future:

“Today, we have some very difficult news to share,” Splash Damage wrote. “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.”
