A new officially licensed Terminator game, Terminator 2D: No Fate, is set for release on September 5, 2025. Developed by Bitmap Bureau and published by Reef Entertainment, the 2D side-scrolling action game will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Ports for retro platforms are expected to be announced later.
The game brings back Sarah Connor, John Connor, and the T-800, combining elements makes us flashback to almost all Terminator games from the 1990s into one arcade-style game.
Physical editions, including an Online Exclusive Edition, Collector’s Edition, and Day One Edition, are available for pre-order through the Reef Direct Online Store for select platforms. Digital pre-orders will follow at a later date. Like many games of that period (like the Terminator 2 game by Ocean) this Terminator 2 game switches around between different 2D gameplay concepts, which sounds really interesting.
Check out the cool making of video Bitmap Bureau released. Good to see Pixel art legend Henk Nieborg involved in a Bitmap Bureau game again as he did with Battle Axe and Xeno Crisis.
