This game will be for PC and consoles. We thank all the wonderful fans who brought this to our attention.
For toy fans, we have already had listings for toys from this game, though we do not know what any bot designs look like yet.
Here is the trailer:

More like Destiny/Anthem from what I gather. But yes, definitely band wagon type.

So could this be the game those cutscenes belong to? The two that were leaked and almost immediadely made private a month ago. Rise and Reactivate have a similar Ring to them.

Perhaps we do now: designs for Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron claimed to be for Reactivate have leaked and are online on this Reddit post.

If those are real then Prime’s alt mode was definitely influenced by the Classics toy.
I’m not a big fan of online squad shooters, hopefully there’s a solo campaign.

The designs DOES feels like a “sequel” to WfC/FoC…

Hmm… that Optimus I could believe, not so much the Megs / Bee unless they’re fairly early concepts. They don’t really seem to share the design aesthetic with OP or the trailer IMO – I’m looking at details like the hands and comparing to the POV shot at the end of the trailer. OP has a AAA hyper-detail look to him that fits that shot; the others don’t. (Note that the hands seen in the trailer are black with yellow panels, so very likely Bee.)

I just hope there’s enough single player stuff to do, it being primarily online focused makes me worry for its longevity but I’m probably overthinking it. Either way it’d still be nice having a lot of solo stuff to occupy myself with.

Interesting, new TF video games are always welcome. I do wish it was more geared to single player but that seems to be the way of things now. Looks good though.

Then I saw ghuman faces and I was like nope.
Then I pressed play and I was like, wow this actually looks very promising!
The whole idea that the perspective rises above the humans and seeing the robot arms is very cool!
I think I saw Ratchet and a version of Bulkhead or movie Hound. Unknown non-Transformers aliens invading.
This looks fresh guys!
Only huge problem I have with this is online multiplayer.
That is where games go to die, They tried an online shooter with Transformers years ago > dead
They made a Legacy of Kain game online (which is a story driven franchise) > dead
This is going to die and without the servers you can’t even play against AI by yourself offline.
This is all assumptions of course. But if this has good gameplay and story, man I hope they retool it to be a single player version or somesort with a story / big skirmish mode offline.
And hopefully on consoles, my pc can’t play modern games.

If you pause the trailer around the 51 second mark you can see Shockwave’s body on the right hand side of the screen. I’m very excited to see more from this game.

Oh goodie, another product of us not being loud enough, who could’ve predicted this.
This is what happens when we let them make whatever they think makes money.
GIVE US A GODDAMN OPEN WORLD 3RD PERSON SHOOTER GAME.

Fallout/GTA style Transformers game with a great story where the action is on Cybertron. That would be a dream game.

Yes, I very much agree. That is the game I want, also be nice if it was a MMORPG where I could make my own Transformer character. This new trailer seems ok, but it didnt really show enough to say.
Hmm, thought I might have gotten the news credit on this one since I sent the news in yesterday 3 minutes after the trailer was put on YouTube. Guess not.

A story from Insider Gaming suggests otherwise, although it is from before the official reveal:
The supposed free-to-play third-person MMO is expected to release in 2023 and has taken inspiration from games like Destiny, it was said.

Splash Damage has issued a press release about Reactivate:
SPLASH DAMAGE ANNOUNCES TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE
World Exclusive Reveal at The Game Awards Offers a First Look at a Brand-New TRANSFORMERS Video GameLondon, United Kingdom (December 8, 2022) – Splash Damage, the developers behind Dirty Bomb, Gears Tactics, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, today announced TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE, a 1-4 player online action game, being developed in collaboration with Hasbro, Inc. This PC & Console co-op game will offer players an opportunity to explore a fresh, new story within the TRANSFORMERS universe.
The Game Awards saw the World Exclusive Reveal of TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE, offering fans a glimpse of what they can expect with a cinematic trailer. 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.
TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE 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, 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.”
TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE marks a new era for Splash Damage and is being developed & published exclusively by the London-based group. As part of this new era, Splash Damage recently acquired BULKHEAD and have been developing TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE in collaboration with the Derby-based studio. The 500+ people strong development & publishing teams at Splash Damage and BULKHEAD are expanding rapidly and TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE is one of several original titles currently in development at the studios.
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.”
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.

What would work best would be a hybrid approach where you go third person for vehicle mode

I’d love the option to change (hehe) the camera – based on the trailer I’m inclined to think it’s at least first-person.
Mind you it’s all moot for me as my PC likely won’t run it and my wife and I are still on the last gen of console!
