Back in May, Hasbro announced that the Beast Wars Transformers soundtrack would be released in June 2024. However, June came and went with no word on the soundtrack. Finally, Ben's World of Transformers has received an update today that the release date has been updated to Friday, August 23, 2024! The original announcement is below for your reference, but keep the new date in mind.

Sad news from the world of voice actors.
