The Terminator is coming… to consoles and PC on October 31st, 2025 in the form of a retro-styled new release titled Terminator 2D: NO FATE. We previewed Reef Entertainment and Bitmap Bureau’s title earlier this summer, and late last week they dropped off an official game overview trailer that shows off more of what to expect from the action packed title.
They also released details on the trio of physical editions, including the Collector’s Edition and Online Exclusive Edition.
The new video covers a slice of T2D’s gameplay, multiple modes, scoring system and more. Check it out below along with a few new screens.
