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’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 coming to PC and consoles, with a closed beta planned for 2023.
