Splash Damage Faces Potential Job Losses After Cancelling Transformers: Reactivate

The UK game studio Splash Damage has announced the cancellation of its upcoming online action game, Transformers: Reactivate. This move has put a number of jobs at risk, although the exact figure has not been disclosed. In a statement, the company acknowledged the difficulties of this decision, stating that despite their best efforts, several positions within the studio are now under threat of redundancy. The reason behind the game's cancellation was not provided. The studio expressed its gratitude to the team that worked on the game, as well as to the fans for their enthusiasm and support. Splash Damage also praised its partner, Hasbro, for their collaboration and support throughout the project. The company is now focusing on providing support to the affected employees during this challenging period, while also working towards building a stronger foundation for the studio's future. This news comes after Rocksteady recently initiated a new round of layoffs, marking another significant blow to the gaming industry.
