Terminator 2D – No Fate is a video game that will be finally released for Xbox Series X, PS5/PS4 and Nintendo Switch 5th of September 2025 (this year). What are my expectations about this game? From what I have seen in the official trailer we are going to see a game that is very close to the plot and happenings of the second Terminator movie. The action is going to be presented in an amazing two-dimensional style. I have to say that I am excited. I also think that Terminator 2 was maybe the best one in this series of sci-fi action and maybe even horror style of a movie.
The game, Terminator 2D – No Fate, is going to be available as a standard type of a release that is going to cost, at least here in Finland, 53 euros. The collectors edition is going to cost, here, 109 euros. Collectors edition includes a collectors a silver tin, steelbook cover, art book, flipbook, a paperweight and a poster. This short list is just giving you a hint of what the collectors edition is including. You can probably make your decision on if you are going for the collectors edition or are you going to stick with the standard edition.
It is just purely exciting to even wait for some video game like this. As I mentioned already earlier we are going to see some famous and legendary scenes that were in the movie. The first Terminator movie was good. It was released in 1984. It was a peace of art made by the director James Cameron and featured the then rising star actor Arnold Schwarzenegger in a role that revolutionized hos career as an actor.
The second movie of this series was titled Terminator 2: Judgment Day. It was released in 1991 and was also, again, directed by James Cameron. The character of Sarah Connor is acted by Linda Hamilton that was also in the first movie. We are also seeing also Edward Furlong acting as a John Connor who is also later in the story in a significant role in the war against machines and robots that seem to be overpowering compared to human soldiers that fighting this war against machines.
If you are new to Terminator you might still get the picture with every word that I’ve already wrote in this blog post. The main plot handles between the machines, terminators, trying their best to destroy every human being. The terminator, a cyborg, is sent back to the past to kill, firstly, Sarah Connor before her son is going to be born. The second movie features a plot that describes how the second terminator, an advanced model, is trying to kill, now, John Connor while he is a young boy. I am not going so deeply in the plot. I highly recommend watching at least the first two movies since they are pure dynamite.
In the second movie Sarah Connor has had some hard time mentally while having the knowledge of a sort of an end of the world scenery that is going to happen in the future. The trauma has to be a deep one. After all she survived the attempt of the terminator on trying to kill her. In the beginning of the second movie she is being held at a mental hospital and his son and the “good” terminator, acted by Schwarzenegger, are freeing her from there at the beginning of the movie.
Everything that was good in the second movie, all the exciting scenes that we saw, I hope, are faithfully presented again in a form of a 2D video game. And all this has been made available to the most popular gaming systems of today. Now, lets just hope that it is not going to be another flop or a game that would perform somewhat poorly compared to the expectations. Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.
