Leaked gameplay footage of the canceled Transformers: Reactivate has re-emerged online. Originally announced in 2022 by Splash Damage in partnership with Hasbro, the co-op game pitted Autobots and Decepticons against an alien threat, "the Legion." Development was plagued by secrecy, with only occasional leaks and related merchandise surfacing before the project's cancellation.
The recently resurfaced footage, from a 2020 build, showcases Bumblebee navigating a destroyed city, seamlessly transforming and utilizing various weapons. The gameplay style bears resemblance to Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, albeit with a different antagonist. Despite some unfinished textures, the footage demonstrates a polished look, including environmental destruction. A silent cutscene depicts Bumblebee's arrival in a ravaged New York City, communicating with an ally named Devin.
Numerous other leaks, dating back to 2020, further illustrate the game's development. While Transformers: Reactivate remains unplayed, the leaked material offers a glimpse into the ambitious, yet ultimately unsuccessful, multiplayer title.
