Yesterday, Gears Tactics studio Splash Damage delivered the unfortunate news that its in-development Transformers game has now been cancelled - and in the wake of that cancellation, a chunk of Transformers: Reactivate gameplay footage has now leaked online.
Posted out to social media late last night, more than six minutes of Reactivate gameplay is now viewable down below. It goes without saying that this is very much an in-development build that's nowhere near finished, but it's interesting to take a look at nonetheless.
Given the game's in-progress nature, we actually think this footage looks pretty good. Transformers: Reactivate seems like it would have contained a pretty expansive world for fans to cause havoc in - and the visuals look as though they could have been pretty impressive with more development time.
In the end, this Splash Damage-developed Transformers game just wasn't meant to be, with the studio "not able to see the game through to release" in what's proving to be a tough period for game devs out there. We wish the studio the best, and hope that someone else can come along and deliver a proper new Transformers game sometime soon.
What do you make of this Transformers: Reactivate footage? Crash land your thoughts on the gameplay down below.

Twitter is the absolute worst place to view videos, everything becomes a blur, but it looks OK. It also looks like it needed a LOT of work. Still sad to see.
What a waste of developers time and company money now the game is cancelled.
Let's hope under MS, ActiBlizz makes another really good Transformers game like War for Cybertron.
Was so excited for this after the original announcement.
But of course this gets canceled while other slop continues to release.
Looks like War for Cybertron mixed with the 2007 DS games, and now my day is ruined knowing it's dead.
Transformers One, one of the best animated films of last year, failed in the box office
Transformers Deactivate, looks great from leaked gameplay, had potential, cancelled
We can't win.
I would have played this
What a shame, I’ve been waiting for another good Transformers game. I guess I’ll just have to plug in my 360 and play the Cybertron games again.
I completely and totally and absolutely loved the 2 or 3 games that think was Full Moon Studios put out for Xbox One or 360. Really felt like a Transformer playing those.
