According to their announcement, Splash Damage has decided not to proceed with the release of “Transformers: Reactivate“, the online cooperative action game they had initially planned for December 2022.
The studio plans to shrink its operations and redirect resources towards different ventures, which could lead to job cuts in various positions throughout the studio.
Despite the disappointment of not being able to complete and release our game, it’s the farewell to our team members that causes the most pain. Right now, our priority is to assist them during this challenging time, and we remain dedicated to nurturing those who will continue their journey with us as we strive to build a more robust Splash Damage for the future.
Here is the full message from the studio:
Today, I regret to inform you that we’ve got some tough news. We’ve decided to halt the progress on the development of Transformers: Reactivate.
In simpler terms, this implies that we’ll be reducing our operations to concentrate on different tasks. Regrettably, due to various circumstances, several positions within the studio could face potential layoffs.
This was no easy call, and we find ourselves in a challenging situation, both for the studio and our dedicated staff. Let us pause for a moment to express our heartfelt appreciation to the incredible team behind Transformers, whose unwavering commitment and enthusiasm never failed to inspire us.
We didn’t make this decision lightly, and it’s tough times for the studio and all of us. Let’s take a moment to thank the outstanding team that worked on Transformers, who always showed dedication and passion.
Throughout our journey, Hasbro proved to be a fantastic and cooperative collaborator, and we eagerly look forward to potential future projects together. To all our enthusiastic fans, your unwavering enthusiasm and backing have been instrumental in fueling our progress.
Although it’s agonizing not to bring our game to completion, parting ways with our valued team members is an even greater sorrow. Now, our primary concern is offering them all the support possible during this challenging time. Similarly, we are dedicated to nurturing those who will continue their journey with us as we strive to build a more robust Splash Damage for the future.
Thank you for your compassion and understanding.
