It
seems
that
developer
Splash
Damage,
whose
parent
company
is
owned
by
Tencent,
is
facing
difficulties
as
it
has
announced
the
cancellation
of
Transformers:
Reactivate,
as
well
as
lay-offs.
The
company
made
the
announcement
over
on
X,
starting
with
the
call
to
cancel
Transformers:
Reactivate.
If
you
didn’t
know
about
the
game
don’t
feel
surprised:
while
it
was
announced
a
few
years
ago
as
a
1-4
player
online-focused
action
game,
not
a
lot
has
been
said
about
it
since.
Around
the
same
time,
Splash
Damage
purchased
Bulkhead
Games.
“Today,
we
have
some
very
difficult
news
to
share,
the
decision
has
been
made
to
end
the
development
of
Transformers:
Reactivate.”
reads
the
statement.
Due
to
the
cancellation
of
the
project,
the
studio
has
confirmed
that
they
will
be
“scaling
down
to
refocus
our
efforts
on
other
projects”
and
as
such
“a
number
of
roles
across
the
studio
are
now
potentially
at
risk
of
redundancy.”

“While
not
being
able
to
see
the
game
through
to
release
is
painful,
having
to
say
goodbye
to
friends
and
colleagues
hurts
even
more.
We’re
now
focused
on
doing
everything
we
can
to
support
them
through
this
tough
period,
just
as
we
are
commited
to
caring
for
those
who
will
stay
with
us
as
we
build
a
stronger
Splash
Damage
for
the
future.”
It’s
unclear
exactly
what
led
to
the
cancellation
of
the
project,
nor
how
many
jobs
are
now
at
risk.
