The list of canceled games has grown with the announcement that Splash Damage has canceled its co-op shooter, Transformers: Reactivate. The game was originally announced in 2022 but will no longer be released.
Cancellation and Layoffs
The studio did not state a specific reason for the cancellation, expressing general regret over the project's demise. The cancellation will result in some job losses, as the company is undergoing layoffs. A recently leaked gameplay video suggests that the game was not in a polished state.
Four-Day Workweek and Project Astrid
Interestingly, at the end of 2023, Splash Damage announced the implementation of a four-day workweek, stating that it would positively impact the development of its two key projects: Transformers: Reactivate and Project Astrid. Project Astrid, an open-world survival AAA game, is still in development and has not been canceled.
