Splash Damage, the studio behind Gears Tactics and Dirty Bomb, has announced that it’s canceling development of Transformers: Reactivate. As a result, the studio will lay off an unspecified number of its staff as it scales back its efforts.
Splash Damage posted a statement on X to announce the cancellation of Transformers: Reactivate and confirm layoffs. “While not being able to see the game through to release is painful, having to say goodbye to friends and colleagues hurts even more,” the statement reads.
Transformers: Reactivate was announced with a cinematic trailer at the Game Awards in 2022. It was set to be an online multiplayer game, though we never learned much more about it outside of the initial teaser.
As for Splash Damage’s other projects, the studio partnered with streamer Shroud in 2023 for an open-world survival game.
