Transformers Reactivate trailer appears at Game Awards 2022; closed beta arriving in 2023

The Game Awards saw a pleasant surprise as Splash Damage debuted a trailer for their upcoming game Transformers Reactivate which is slated for closed beta sometime next year in 2023.

What is Transformers Reactivate

Transformers Reactive is a 1-4 player online action game that’s also being developed with Hasbro with the game slated for deployment on PC and consoles. There’s not much on the back story beyond what appears in the trailer save that earth is in a bad way and it needs the Autobots to make things right. The enigmatic trailer shows unnamed people scavenging and rebooting an Autobot from your perspective interspersed with shots of organic looking alien invaders wrecking expensive real estate.

Richard Jolly, CEO of Splash Damage, says, “Growing up with G1 TRANSFORMERS in the ’80s means it’ll always hold a special place in my heart, it’s both an honour and a privilege to work with such a beloved franchise. We know fans have been waiting a long time for a new TRANSFORMERS game on consoles and pc, and we’re going to give them the experience they deserve.”

Eugene Evans, SVP of Business Development & Digital Licensing, at Hasbro, says, “Fans have been eagerly awaiting a new game that immerses them into our iconic TRANSFORMERS universe. We’re thrilled to share a first look on one of gaming’s biggest nights. Splash Damage has an amazing track record with some of the world’s most famous IP’s and have a strong creative passion for the TRANSFORMERS brand. We’re confident that TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE will be hugely popular with the TRANSFORMERS community and continues the Hasbro Blueprint 2.0 strategy of creating first-class branded entertainment across diverse categories and platforms including video games.”
