One of the most iconic action films of the nineties is being turned into a retro game: In "Terminator 2D: No Fate", gamers on PC and consoles will slip into the roles of Sarah Connor and the T-800 - the legendary fighting machine embodied by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the film - from September 5.

In the first trailer, "Terminator 2D: No Fate" is reminiscent of 2D action classics from the 16-bit era such as "Contra" and will be released on September 5 for PC, PlayStation and Xbox consoles as well as the Nintendo Switch.

Fight against the T-1000
In the retro game, "Terminator" fans can "re-enact" the events of the second part of the cult sci-fi film series from 1991 and fight alongside Sarah Conner and Schwarzenegger as the T-800 against the liquid metal killer robot T-1000. All kinds of iconic scenes are re-enacted in charming pixel art.

Game to have different endings
Nevertheless, there should be plenty of surprises, as the developers promise "different endings" - whether the doomsday conjured up in the movie comes to pass is therefore largely up to the player's skill ... 

The "Terminator" series has been the subject of a whole series of successful video games in recent years - the first-person shooter "Terminator Resistance" and the strategy game "Terminator: Dark Fate" received good reviews. In addition to the retro spin-off, an online survival game called "Terminator Survivors" is in development and is due to be released in 2025.
