Courtesy of TFW member Frosty Coffee and his newest Youtube video on the upcoming Transformers Reactivate game, we have what appears to be screenshots from the actual game itself. These show off a roster of character designs (including Starscream, Slipstream, Hot Rod, Soundwave, Sunstreaker, Ironhide, and Windblade) as well as possible gameplay screenshots.

Keep in mind however, it appears these shots are from quite early on in the game’s development, and with multiple reports detailing its rocky development it’s unknown how much has been kept.

Take this as a rumor for now and let us know your thoughts on the boards!

Via Artist T. Darren Chiu’s Artstation account we can share for you new character concept, promotional art and more unreleased material of the cancelled Transformers Heavy Metal video game.

Via Weibo user 赛博坦联邦情報局 we have what seems to be new images of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee from the recently revealed Transformers Reactivate video game.

We have images in robot and alt mode of each of the aforementioned characters. As we can see from the images, the designs are stylized but still blocky in some way. Keep in mind that some of the images are labeled as “Work In Progress” so we thery may be differences in the final version of the game.

To top it all, via Beau Ivey YouTube channel we can share for you two possible cutscenes from the game. The scenes reveal some part of the story of the game, the new enemy: The Legion and the fact that the Aurobots would not be the only ones taking part on this new war.

As usual, take this with a grain of salt until we get an official confirmation. This may be a very early art/footage that may have been cut from the final game. Stay tuned with this space for more updates!

For a while now, we’ve been hearing bits of info here and there about Transformers Rise, a video game that was being developed by Certain Affinity. Unfortunately though, over time it had become clear that there was turmoil behind the scenes, with some rumors even suggesting it had been outright cancelled.

However, we now have a new report which may provide some renewed hope. Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, who is regarded as one of the top gaming insiders, has posted an article suggesting the game may in fact still be in development, but was handed off to developer Splash Damage instead. The article also provides some other details about the game:

“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.

In this team-based experience, fan-favorite characters like Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and Megatron will be making their way to the game, with transformers being placed under different category types.

Somewhat similar to Destiny’s Hunters, Warlocks, and Titans, the Transformers title will have similar roles currently under the named Tank, Damage, and Support.

It’s believed the game has seen a few changes since it was under Certain Affinity under the name “Transformers Rise”, with the codename for the project apparently now being “Fortress”, one source said.

As for the game’s plot, it’s understood that the Transformers will be fighting a new enemy (on Earth) under the name of “The Legion”. The Legion are new enemies in the Transformers universe that consist of organic and non-organic matter that can corrupt transformers that turn them into bigger and badder versions of themselves.

Developed on Unreal Engine 4, it was said that the game felt “very outdated but has potential”.

With an apparent 2023 release, we should be hearing more about the game in the near future. No details were shared on which platforms the game will release.”

With The Game Awards coming up next week on December 8th, it may be a good event to keep an eye on due to it being a primary place for yearly video game reveals.

Hasbro sent through word that the Transformers Beyond Reality VR Game for Playstation VR is now launching in the European and Australian markets.  The arcade style first person shooter is also available in the US an Asia, but now is available to more of our global friends.  Read on for an official press release, check the trailer below!
