Terminator 2D: No Fate — the new retro game that blends scenes from Terminator 2: Judgment Day with original scenarios and multiple endings — has once again been delayed, this time to November 26, 2025.
It would appear that not even Skynet is immune from tariffs; publisher Reef Entertainment confirmed the delay in a brief blog post, claiming the release date had been pushed back from the original October 31 date due to “ongoing global trade and tariff changes that delayed shipment of the components for our Day One and Collector’s Editions.”
“Because we are committed to launching all editions together, this new date applies to both physical and digital releases worldwide,” Reef added. “We truly appreciate your patience and understanding, and we’re sorry for this further delay. The team is working hard to make sure your wait is worth it, and we can’t wait to share Terminator 2D: No Fate with you all this November.”
Terminator 2D sees you play as Sarah Connor and the T-800 as you try to put a stop to Skynet’s plans before the human race is annihilated. It’s coming to PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and last-gen console systems. It was initially slated to release on September 5 before being delayed to the end of October.
In June, IGN reported on how developer developers at Bitmap Bureau tracked down the actor who played future war John Connor back in 1991 to include his likeness, and found out why Arnold Schwarzenegger isn’t in the game.
(Terminator 2D: No Fate includes gameplay that sees the player control future war John Connor in a fight against the machines, fleshing out that brief opening scene in the movie into an entire section of the video game.)
