Six minutes of developer Splash Damage’s previously unreleased Transformers: Reactivate leaked online following the studio’s announcement that it would end development earlier this week.
Transformers: Reactivate, an online action game for up to four players, featuring some of the franchise’s most iconic characters, was unveiled for PC and consoles during the game Awards back in 2022. Little has been seen of the title since then, and It seemed that would likely remain the case after Splash Damage confirmed its cancellation this week.
Now, however, six minutes of leaked gameplay footage, shared by an anonymous Transformers fan account, has surfaced on social media. It is unknown how the footage was acquired, but it features a combination of third-person gunfights and vehicular travel through an unfinished open-world-style city, apparently from a developer build in progress.

Splash Damage announced the cancellation of Transformers: Reactivate on Wednesday, saying the studio would be “downsizing” to refocus its efforts on other projects, resulting in a “number of roles” at the company “potentially at risk of redundancy.”
“While not being able to see the game launch is painful,” he wrote in a statement, “having to say goodbye to friends and colleagues hurts even more. We are now focused on doing everything we can to support them through this.” difficult period, just as we are committed to taking care of those who will stay with us as we build a stronger Splash Damage for the future.”
The studio previously announced that it was working on a new “AAA open-world survival game,” codenamed Project Astrod, in collaboration with streamers Mike “Shroud” Grzesiek and Chris “Sacriel” Ball. However, no further updates have been shared since its introduction in March 2023.
