The management of the London studio Splash Damage announced the cancellation of the upcoming game Transformers: Reactivatewhich was officially unveiled in December 2022. Genre-wise, it was a four-player co-op event that would capitalize on the Transformers universe.
Completion of work on the game is accompanied by dismissal of an indefinite number of employeeswho have been involved in the development so far. Representatives of the studio talk about the difficult period and the transition to other projects. However, the future existence of the studio must be ensured.
