Explore the exhilarating new arcade-style shooter, Terminator 2D: NO FATE, crafted by Bitmap Bureau, hitting both modern and retro platforms.
A Surprising Collaboration
It’s hard to believe that Bitmap Bureau—known for hits like Xeno Crisis, Final Vendetta, and Battle Axe—is venturing into the world of licensed projects. But here we are! They’re diving headfirst into the iconic Terminator franchise, creating a brand-new arcade-style shooter that’s bound to captivate fans and newcomers alike.
The Vision Behind Terminator 2D: NO FATE
With Terminator 2D: NO FATE, the aim is to deliver the quality T2 game that was sorely missed back in the ‘90s. Let’s be real, those early attempts by developers like Acclaim and LJN felt like missed opportunities. This new game looks to rectify that and give us what we’ve been craving for all these years.
Playable Characters and New Challenges
Players will step into the shoes of iconic characters like Sarah Connor, John Connor, and the T-800. Expect levels filled with fresh scenarios and scenes pulled directly from the film, all while introducing intriguing new robotic foes during boss battles—perfectly blending with the Terminator universe. And get this! The soundtrack will feature new renditions of beloved tracks that are sure to ignite nostalgia.
Diverse Game Modes Await
Get ready for an exciting array of game modes! Terminator 2D: NO FATE will feature Story Mode, Arcade Mode, Infinite Mode, Boss Rush, and Level Training. There’s even something intriguingly named ‘Mother of the Future’, although details remain shrouded in mystery.
“It’s a love letter to 80s/90s arcade games and we feel like it’s the T2 game we should have had back in our youth,” said Mike Tucker of Bitmap Bureau.
Release Date and Platforms
Mark your calendars: Terminator 2D: NO FATE is set to launch on September 5th for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. But that’s not all! The game is also being released for retro systems, although the specific platforms haven’t been disclosed yet.
