Transformers Reactivate has been officially canceled. It comes with a heavy heart that this game was ripped from not only Splash Damage developers but also the fact that this game was ripped from Transformers Gaming fans. Waiting 8 years, almost a decade to develop this game. Going back and forth between Open World and Linear designs. It is frustrating, heart breaking and a slap to Transformers fans that not only want a cinematic universe through gaming but also just a good Triple-AAA Transformers Game to play with friends. As of today, Transformers Reactivate is now an archived game just like all of the others that get shelved. Which is extremely unfortunate. I hope that one day this build is released so that Transformers gaming fans can enjoy a triple-AAA Transformers game in some capacity. #TransformersReactivate #PlayTFR #Transformers
This one was tough. Saw the news right after getting pumped for the Monster Hunter news. Hasbro has been really missing the mark lately. Here's one for you.... Aside from High Moon Studios, what other dev studio would you like to see take a swing at an AAA TF game? Doesn't have to be 1.
@@michaelg1769 First I think that Insomniac could do a great Transformers Game with what they’ve done with Ratchet and Clank and the Spider-Man games I’d think they’d be perfect.
What a damn shame man… 5+ years of waiting just to get cancelled. The least Hasbro can do is bring back the old FOC & Bayverse games .. but even that is being questioned now. It truly sucks being a Transformers fan nowadays.. and I fear it’s going down the same path as the G.I. Joes. Sad man.. absolutely lost for words.
I would not be shocked if Hasbro gives the game to another company. Heck even if it’s activision. It just needs a strong studio that knows what they are doing. While the companies under activision get a lot of crap thrown at them by players, they know how to run games and make a lot of money on them. Hasbro just needs a good competent studio to handle games. Bc man does the gameplay after 5 years look rough. The world isn’t even finished.
It almost seems as if reactivate wasn’t having being worked on by anyone unless they had free time or only one person was working on everything. If it does get handed to another studio they are basically starting from square one which is wild for 7 years of work. Hoping Hasbro is learning a lesson on how to make games bc rn they are kinda screwing everything up for transformers, tf one was amazing but the marketing was trash.
@@bryconator1021 Agree the first trailer for tf one was more slapstick and kind of made me not want to see it. If Hasbro want to save this game then they need to pocket up the cash and find studio who know get thing done
Appreciate the times you’ve kept us up to date on the game. I’ve never really taken sides between all the creators, but hats off to you for not having anymore beef with Luna and letting it all be water under the bridge and crediting him for the video. It sucks it got that deep with the community but I think we all want the same thing at the end of the day. Now, I’ve always been hesitant on asking but since Reactivate is done for. Is there anyway you could somehow share any photos/videos of the Transformer designs from this game? I really want these designs and even voice lines persevered for the future of this franchise. It’s a shame to see these designs potentially go to waste and become lose media. Even if we never get Reactivate, I’d love to have every character design to go back and look at just to appreciate the talent that went into making these robot and alt modes. If not it’s totally understandable but thank you in advance Robo!
Splash Damage likely did the right thing. People were sick of Live Services game, and it provokes a visceral reaction nowadays. Just look at Concord and Suicide Squad: KtJL, admittedly, those two have bad decisions mounted upon each other that led to their respective demise. But it is a bit sad since this game was advertised as more of closer to a Warframe/Destiny/Space Marine Hybrid and if it was played right, it could've been a good online game. But I understand that people want a pure Single Player games, hopefully, a different studio takes the reign of the development and finish it.
I hope it gets revived soon like Nimona. Such a shame how it came to be. A game with great promises. And they finally tell us this. The higher-ups should be ashamed. They should know better.
At this point they need to make more remastered copies of WoC/FoC games for either Pc or Console for everyone, Especially me cause i haven't played those games before and i want to experience them and do multiplayer mode too😢
@@joshualisojo4832 hasbro's sole purpose is to do the necessary marketing to sell games, they want to sell toys by making movies, the same goes for game advertising TRANSFORMERS REACTIVATE they sold players and fooled people, they did it on purpose, the videos you watched until today were UE4 videos, if UE5 was updated I would understand immediately, we were already FAKED and this was done on purpose, they managed to sell toys, now REACTIVATE will be a game buried in the ocean, maybe the build will be shared in the future if they haven't trashed and deleted it.
mann… i wanna know how hasbro takes this news. cuz they already makes the toys for this game and splash damage just throw it off?? that was a bad deal splash damage
Digital Extremes has warframe and they support that game with content and updates all the time. Just because you don’t hear about something doesn’t mean it’s not popular. Not to mention the fact that they are currently working on a new game called soulframe. Would Digital Extremes do a better job than Splash Damage? Potentially but who knows if they would have taken on the project Honestly with the failures of the movies lately and now this. Transformers is definitely going through a dark age rn
I had lost hope after we didnt get more updates and pure radio silence of the twitter account for reactivate when summer hit last year. seeing the trailer had me happy at the time and excited. But i i figured it was going to end up canceled.. and i hate to see it...
I knew it man. I KNEW IT. Im so pissed hasbro hasn't at least handed the game off to another team to finish it. We are never getting another damn transformers game.
Some reason, I knew this would happen....since I was 6 I was a fan of transformers, I completely loved it. I played WFC, Dark side of the moon, Foc, the dark spark...I was really hoping for a comeback, not to sound like a downer but.....the gameplay, the characters lore teasers or whatever, I had glimmer of hope. This completely destroyed me, thank you for telling us. I was hoping for a demo tbh....Maybe one day....😢
1. Love that the TF gaming community might be getting on better terms 2. The developers with experience are out there and the TF gaming community can try and buy the TFR IP and develop it.
I'm crushed, Us fans have been waiting for a new multiplayer Triple-A Transformers game for console for way too long. I feel Hasbro has no faith in their projects and refuses to go all in and take any risks for transformers games. Now I'm expecting bad news about the cybertron games coming back 💔
You know, all those times you said "No its not cancelled I promise you." People like me said in response time and time again that it absolutely is not coming out and you basically just gaslit us for a year straight as if you knew something we didn't. And frankly I think that's a bunch of BS.
@Cozza-1516 I'm not angry. I'm just pointing out the pompous nonsense and gaslighting that has been going on surrounding the conversation with this game for a while now. Any notable criticism or observation about this game being OBVIOUSLY in development Hell and likely cancelled has been overtly scoffed at by Transformers youtubers and now here we are. And if nobody knew what was going on, then great! Don't make videos where you overtly say "The game is safe. The game is coming out. I know things you guys don't".
@@maestro-fifa4446 No! And thats my point. When something is in obvious development Hell and we rightly point out that this game could more than likely be canceled, transformers youtubers like this guy have consistently pushed that aside and asserted that they've seen and know things none of us do and that the game will see the light of day. In some cases even laughing at the notion like we're just being catastrophizers, and now here we are. And don't be surprised when some of these videos start getting taken down by these creators to cover their tracks.
Digital Extremes would never accept Reactivated, they rather make projects they have absolute control over. Working on an established IP means that they have no full creative freedom as they would like, and that's something they don't wanna do. Besides, they split development to Soulframe, their newest game and personal project of the CEO Steve Sinclair, and they don't work on the Unreal Engine, rather, they have an in-house proprietary engine.
Please tell me Robo if there is a chance that an other studio finish this. If one day You will be reactivating this game pls contact me I want to help, I want my franchise golden age once again... There is also an othere thing this must be spread around the world, if people will start to talk about it maybe but just maybe we ma have a chance to reactivate it. I hope we may have that chance.
I'll take Certain Affinity version over Splash damage because their version actual had gameplay of Bumblebee, starsceam and shockwave (maybe Ratchet and Soundwave) not to mention cut-scenes and a opening. Splash Damage had teaser trailer that it I'm not count that crappy UE5 gameplay
I think splash damage ran hasbro’s pockets. You mean to tell me after 3 years of development on a game that was handed to you with already completed assets, models, scenes and scripts you came up with a shit port to UE5. I’m no game developer but they agreed to the project and after 3 years had nothing to show for it and never said anything other than we got more information coming that never did until now and it’s to tell us they cancelled the game lol wow
I hate Certain Affinity, and I hate 343 Industries. Had 343i not fumbled Halo Infinite, Certain Affinity could have put all their resources on Transformers Reactivate back when it was "Transformers Rise." Instead, they had to go clean Microsoft's mess, and then, the very few CA employees that were working on it were absolute morons and had mostly prioritized the skins and other microtransaction BS rather than actually working on the game, leading to Reactivate's development change to Splash Damage and rebranding the game. Certain Affinity, 343i, and their total incompetence sabotaged Reactivate, and now people lost their jobs. Had Halo Infinite been released in a good state, we would have gotten Rise/Reactivate years ago.
I had a feeling this would happens more than 2 years and no sort of info. Couldnt get hyped. The prospects of a Transformers game is still top tier. Honestly id want a transformers game with a movie quality too it in term of visuals and transformations. I think design with the compexity of the Bayverse but the simplicity in core design as the more g1 styles. Every autobot and Deceptiocon properly. I would love there being a level of blending into the environment in vehicle mode and that sort of being a stealth mecahnic in the game. Theres a lot of cool things that can be done but i think that whatever they do next shoild be a single player game with multiplayer and coop features. Not an mmo. Dont fret. I think its only a matter of time and when we do i hope its at a point where it can truly be grrat Lol. I also want a new Godzilla game. Theres been cameos but not a GODZILLA GAME!!@ SOMEONE PLEASE!!!!
The amount of times you acted like you've seen stuff that we haven't in regard to UE5 and now you're here saying "OH the leaked footage looks like trash" wtf.

This is brutal. I feel us fans get treated absolutely terribly
These billion dollar companies honestly confuse me. All this money but no intelligence in sight.

Hasbro has been doing those franchises dirty for years, G.I Joe/Transformers really need a better company.
I think the biggest problem with the FOC and Bayverse games is licensing and Activision more than anything on Hasbro's side of things.
Rip to reactivate. Maybe some people might be able to make an old build playable for the public. Who knows
I would not be shocked if Hasbro gives the game to another company. Heck even if it’s activision. It just needs a strong studio that knows what they are doing.

I seriously wish it was April 1st!
Pain… All I feel is Pain.
Bloody rough being both a Transformers fan and a Star Wars fan recently. Bad news around every corner.
Thanks for keeping us updated mate
Maybe the true Reactivate was the friends we made along the way
Meh I think more enemies were made lol
Baldness and the stress problem are my new friends yess😄
Correction. "Maybe Reactivate was Luna jokes we made along the way"
Friendship is magic
U are clickbait
Now I'm just waiting for more WFC & FOC remaster updates (if there are)
It is unfortunate I’d just remaster the old games at this point for me that would be enough
they really should have just translated its campaign into a single-player story rather than just quiting

i need to get off social media, all of this is making me so sad. This game has potential
I hope their be a transformers open world game
TF Reactivate has finally proceeded to oblivion...
I hope it gets revived soon like Nimona. Such a shame how it came to be. A game with great promises. And they finally tell us this. The higher-ups should be ashamed. They should know better.

Good the game never looked good we deserve a war for cybertron3
I wanted to play this game man smh
Side bar, seeing war for cybertron multiplayer in 2025 is making my jeans fit tighter
As much as I have beef with them, They should have given the game to THQ Nordic.
no surprise TRANSFOREMRS ONLINE - CLOSED / TRANSFORMERS UNIVERSE - CLOSED
you forgot Transformers Heavy Metal it mobile game that was release and cancel

I think that'll be a good idea for the fan to work on it I will be honest with you I would looking for it to come out I'm hoping it will happen
its like that dark time with transformers online it started then next day just cancelled

So it seems like moving it from UE4 to UE5 was what basically stated the end of this game. UE4 had smoother gameplay.
@tallmex7183 I agree, UE4 was a lot smoother. UE5 was not optimized at all from what it looked like. But very broken in a lot of places

me want transformers game. quit canceling projects.
and my transformers genshin inspired project too!
This world shall know PAIN
At this point, please just bring the cybertron games back
Ill be more than satisfied having those games back in my life
I'm hoping someone will recreate this game on Roblox like how other people did with DOTM.
I wonder if the transition to UE5 was too much work to handle under those conditions.

How are you able to play the cybetron games with such amazing visuals ?
Bring back the HIGHMOON TEAM
High moon is work on CoD Black op 6 right now but I agree with u they know how to make transformers game
