The history of Terminator games is nearly as old as the franchise itself. It kicked off with the DOS action adventure The Terminator, developed and published by Bethesda Softworks in 1991, seven years after the first film. Over two dozen Terminator games for everything from PC and consoles to arcades and pinball machines have followed over the next three decades.
Yet another game based on the iconic sci-fi franchise now seems to be on the horizon, according to a recent addition to the Australian Classification Board (ACB) database. The December 19 listing, first spotted by Gematsu, references a game called Terminator 2D: No Fate, which is described as being developed and published by Reef Entertainment. The British company was already involved in one video game adaptation of this IP, having served as the publisher for the 2019 open-world shooter Terminator: Resistance, developed by Polish studio Teyon.
The title mentioned in the newly emerged listing suggests that No Fate will be a 2D game, so presumably nothing like Terminator: Resistance. The ACB gave the unannounced game a Mature (M) rating, which is one level below the Mature Accompanied (MA 15+) classification that the same regulator attached to Reef Entertainment's first Terminator game. The agency described Terminator 2D: No Fate's content as "moderate in impact," citing the game's unspecified themes, depictions of violence, and coarse language as the reasons for that label.
Terminator 2D: No Fate Is Reportedly Coming to Both PC and Consoles
The recently spotted age rating also indicates that Terminator 2D: No Fate is planned to launch on a wide variety of systems. The PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC are all listed under the game's supported platforms. The ACB classification doesn't mention any other pertinent details about the upcoming title. The emergence of this age rating doesn't necessarily confirm that Terminator 2D: No Fate is close to release, but it does make such a scenario more likely. E.g., Reef's Terminator: Resistance was rated by the ACB on September 5, 2019, two weeks before its official announcement and two and a half months ahead of its release.
2 Terminator Games May Be Coming in 2025
If history is set to repeat itself this time around, Terminator 2D: No Fate might materialize by early 2025. This time frame would put it in the vicinity of Nacon's open-world survival game Terminator: Survivors, which was initially planned to debut in late October 2024 but was recently pushed back to 2025.
