Last night at the Game Awards developer Splash Damage announced they are working on Transformers: Reactivate, a new Transformers 1 – 4 player online action game that sees Earth invaded by a powerful alien race and the Autobots as humanity’s only hope. Watch the announcement trailer below…
The official synopsis for the game reads:
The gravest threat to humanity has arrived. And it’s already won. Earth is no longer ours; it belongs to them. All we have left is our hope for the Autobots, as we salvage them from the rubble left behind.
Transformers: Reactivate will “offer players a chance to immerse themselves in the Transformers universe like never before. They will get to play as some of their favourite characters; unique, weighty, and powerful, seamlessly converting between vehicle and bot form as they battle The Legion; the greatest threat the Autobots have ever faced.”
“Growing up with G1 Transformers in the ’80s means it’ll always hold a special place in my heart, it’s both an honour and a privilege to work with such a beloved franchise,” said Richard Jolly, CEO of Splash Damage. “We know fans have been waiting a long time for a new Transformers game on consoles and pc, and we’re going to give them the experience they deserve.”
“Fans have been eagerly awaiting a new game that immerses them into our iconic Transformers universe,” said Eugene Evans, Hasbro’s SVP of Business Development & Digital Licensing. “We’re thrilled to share a first look on one of gaming’s biggest nights. Splash Damage has an amazing track record with some of the world’s most famous IP’s and have a strong creative passion for the Transformers brand. We’re confident that Transformers: Reactivate will be hugely popular with the Transformers community and continues the Hasbro Blueprint 2.0 strategy of creating first-class branded entertainment across diverse categories and platforms including video games.”
Transformers: Reactivate is being developed for PC and consoles and will have a closed beta in 2023.
