The Terminator is back again with 16-bit violence and action in Terminator 2D: No Fate.
Terminator 2 is one of the most successful films of all time and, much like other R-rated movies of the time, spawned a line of toys and video games in the early 1990s. If you missed out on the original Terminator 2 video game, Reef Entertainment is bringing the T-800, T-1000, Sarah, and John Connor back for its retro-style shoot-’em-up, Terminator 2D: No Fate.
Taking the title from the famous quote “no fate, but what we make” from the movie means the future isn’t predetermined, and the game allows players to decide the world’s fate with multiple endings. Terminator 2D: No Fate incorporates detailed pixelated graphics, with the ability to play as the T-1000, Sarah, and John in the present and the future. Check out the trailer below.
“Play as Sarah Connor and the T-800 through a variety of thrilling missions as they take on the T-1000 and try to put a stop to Skynet’s plans before the human race is annihilated,” the official synopsis reads. “Lead the Resistance as John Connor in the future, fighting on the front lines as mankind’s only hope in the War Against the Machines. In this unique story blending iconic scenes from ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’ with original scenarios and multiple endings, humanity’s fate is yours to decide.”
Some gamers might remember the notoriously difficult motorcycle chase level in the original Terminator 2, and it looks like it’s back again. Other levels include Sarah trying to escape from the hospital and a very naked T-800 taking on bikers to get his boots, clothes, and motorcycle.
Scheduled to be released on September 5, the game is launching on PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
