Posted on by Owen

In a thrilling blast from the past, Terminator 2D: NO FATE is gearing up to hit screens on 5 September 2025, reimagining the blockbuster Terminator 2: Judgment Day as a pixel-perfect, side-scrolling adventure. Developed by Bitmap Bureau and published by Reef Entertainment, this retro-inspired title will launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. It’s a game that bridges decades, blending the gritty essence of 80s arcade classics with the enduring appeal of the Terminator franchise—perfect for those who cherish gaming’s golden era.

The Terminator saga has long captivated gamers, starting with the 1991 MS-DOS release The Terminator, a clunky yet ambitious effort limited by its era’s hardware. The franchise evolved through titles like the Sega Mega Drive’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day, a 1992 hit that nailed the film’s tense action. Now, Terminator 2D: NO FATE takes a deliberate step back, embracing a 2D aesthetic with meticulously crafted sprites and a reimagined T2 soundtrack that echoes Brad Fiedel’s iconic score. Players can dive into Story, Arcade, and Boss Rush modes, guiding Sarah Connor, John Connor, and the T-800 through familiar scenes and fresh twists, complete with multiple endings.

I remember the original Terminator 2 game for the Sega Megadrive/Genesis and this has a similar look and feel.

As reported last week, an actor for the game said that a new remaster “is about to come out” and the countdown could well prove this to be a solid rumour.

The anticipation is palpable among fans, many of whom have followed the evolution of Tony Hawk’s franchise with keen interest. Veteran gamers recall the original releases with fondness, cherishing the adrenaline-pumping tricks and immersive environments that defined the series. I still remember looking at places differently after being slightly obsessed with the original games, considering what things I could grind on, or jup off.

Now, with a fresh chapter on the horizon, there is widespread optimism that this next installment will capture that same spirit while pushing the boundaries of what modern skateboarding games can offer.

As the countdown to March 4th begins, the gaming community is urged to stay tuned for further announcements. With the prospect of revisiting a cherished legacy infused with modern flair, Tony Hawk’s next move promises to be a defining moment in the ongoing evolution of skateboarding and gaming culture.
