Newly surfaced gameplay footage offers a glimpse into the canceled Transformers: Reactivate. Announced in 2022 by Splash Damage in collaboration with Hasbro, this co-op title promised players the chance to control Generation 1 Autobots and Decepticons, uniting against an alien threat. However, the game's development was shrouded in secrecy, with limited information released beyond leaked materials and accompanying action figures. The eventual cancellation left fans disappointed.
Recently, leaked footage from a 2020 build has re-emerged, showcasing Bumblebee navigating a destroyed city, seamlessly transforming between robot and vehicle modes, and utilizing various weapons. The gameplay bears resemblance to Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, but features a unique alien antagonist force known as "the Legion."
Despite some unfinished textures, the leaked footage displays a polished aesthetic, including environmental destruction. A silent cutscene depicts Bumblebee emerging from a portal in a ruined New York City, communicating with an ally named Devin about the Legion's attacks. Numerous other leaks dating back to 2020 further illustrate the game's development before its official announcement and subsequent cancellation. While the game will never be released, the leaked footage provides a fascinating look at what could have been.
