Terminator 2D: No Fate was recently unveiled as a new, retro-styled adaptation of James Cameron's 1991 sci-fi classic. The first trailer combines absolutely gorgeous pixel art with classic game mechanics drawing from the likes of Contra, Metal Gear, and Battletoads, and developer Bitmap Bureau's retro gaming pedigree has cemented this side-scrolling action game as one to watch.
Due to launch across PS5, PS4, Switch, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC on September 5, Terminator 2D adapts the big scenes of Terminator 2 into a side-scrolling action game. As the T-800, you move back and forth between shooting and brawling sequences - including, of course, a barroom brawl sequence with a fully nude playable Arnold. There are also driving stages that draw from the infamous speed bike sequences in Battletoads, challenging you to dodge incoming obstacles while enemies try to chase you down.
