The game takes place during events of the movie, Terminator 2: Judgment Day . The game is scheduled to be released on December 12, 2025. [1] [2] It was originally scheduled to be released on October 31, 2025, but was delayed due to "ongoing global trade and tariff changes that delayed shipment of the components for [the] Day One and Collector's Editions." [3] The game was then set to be released on November 25, 2025 but was delayed again to give the publisher time to complete physical editions of the game. [3]

Gameplay

According to lead programmer and designer Mike Tucker, the game begins by revisiting the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day , as a 2D side-scrolling game. The "No Fate" feature is activated on subsequent playthroughs, where the player can make different choices that can unlock new scenarios, secret levels, and remixed weapon loadouts. For instance, a player's choice during Sarah Connor's infiltration of Cyberdyne HQ could see her fighting with a pistol and punches, or going "guns blazing" with an assault rifle alongside the T-800's minigun in another. This feature aims to respect the original movie's plot while also offering new experiences. [4]

Reception

The trailer has received positive reviews, calling it a "love letter" to the Terminator franchise. [5]
