New TRANSFORMERS Video Game Announced Titled TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE; Teaser Trailer Released
Splash Damage (Dirty Bomb, Gears Tactics, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory) is developing a new Transformers video game in collaboration with Hasbro Inc. titled Transformers: Reactivate. A teaser trailer was also shared for the 1-4 player online action game, which will offer players an opportunity to explore a fresh, new story within the Transformers universe.
In the game, “The gravest threat to humanity has arrived. And it’s already won. Earth is no longer ours; it belongs to them. All we have left is our hope for the Autobots, as we salvage them from the rubble left behind.”
It will offer players a chance to “immerse themselves in the Transformers universe like never before. They will get to play as some of their favourite characters; unique, weighty, and powerful, seamlessly converting between vehicle and bot form as they battle The Legion; the greatest threat the Autobots have ever faced.”
Richard Jolly, CEO of Splash Damage, said in a statement: “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, said: “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.”
Transformers: Reactivate will be available for PC and consoles. With the Closed Beta planned for 2023, players can sign up right now at www.playTFR.com for future updates.
