A new Terminator video game, tentatively titled Terminator 2D: No Fate, has surfaced online ahead of any official announcement. The Terminator franchise has seen a steady stream of video game adaptations since the early 1990s, often tied to specific films like Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and Terminator: Salvation. Others have explored original storylines within the Terminator universe. Terminator 2D: No Fate appears to fall into the latter category, although concrete details remain scarce.
The leak originated from a listing on the Australian Classification Board website, as spotted by Gematsu. The listing reveals that Terminator 2D: No Fate is being developed and published by Reef Entertainment for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Unfortunately, the listing doesn’t offer any information regarding a release date or window.
Reef Entertainment’s involvement is significant, as they published the well-received Terminator: Resistance in 2019. The popularity of Resistance lends credence to the possibility of No Fate being a sequel or a continuation within the same universe.
If Terminator 2D: No Fate follows in the footsteps of Terminator: Resistance, it’s plausible that it will also be a first-person shooter. However, the “2D” in the title raises questions, hinting at a potentially different gameplay style. While the exact nature of No Fate remains a mystery, leaks from ratings boards like this are typically reliable indicators of a game’s existence.
Given Reef Entertainment’s previous work with the franchise, there’s reason to believe Terminator 2D: No Fate will continue to explore the rich world of the Terminator. More information about the project is expected to emerge in 2025.
