Cancelled Transformers Game Footage Leaks, And It Actually Looks Pretty Good

Transformers: Deactivate

Posted out to social media late last night, more than six minutes of Reactivate gameplay is now viewable down below. It goes without saying that this is very much an in-development build that’s nowhere near finished, but it’s interesting to take a look at nonetheless.

Given the game’s in-progress nature, we actually think this footage looks pretty good. Transformers: Reactivate seems like it would have contained a pretty expansive world for fans to cause havoc in – and the visuals look as though they could have been pretty impressive with more development time.

In the end, this Splash Damage-developed Transformers game just wasn’t meant to be, with the studio “not able to see the game through to release” in what’s proving to be a tough period for game devs out there. We wish the studio the best, and hope that someone else can come along and deliver a proper new Transformers game sometime soon.

What do you make of this Transformers: Reactivate footage? Crash land your thoughts on the gameplay down below.
