Terminator 2D: No Fate launch September 5 on PS5 and PS4

Hey people, this is Mike Tucker, style director and programming at Bitmap Bureau. On behalf of our group, we’re thrilled to show Terminator 2D: No Death, an publicly licensed 2D activity side-scroller is launching September 5 on PS5 and PS4! Our group poured its enthusiasm into crafting adrenaline-fueled square gameplay and spectacular pixel art—the quite elements that make games unique to us. As our first registered activity, we wanted to accomplish justice to the Terminator 2 reputation.

I feel Terminator 2D: No Death is a love letter to ‘ 80s/’90s square games, and my goal was to make the T2 side-scroller we should have had in our children. People power Sarah Connor, John Connor, and the T-800 in arcade-style operations that retell Terminator 2: Judgment Day while expanding its tale.

Our staff are huge fans of the film—especially Sarah Connor, one of the greatest activity soldiers of all time. We knew playing as her had become exclusive, so we worked hard to make her playstyle feel real. Sarah is efficient and responsive, mirroring her anxiety and intense training. She excels in fight conflict, sliding into rivals for immediate attacks, reflecting her courage. We also gave her a light look, inspired by the classic Miles Dyson field. It locks the person in position but considerably boosts injury.

One of the most exciting elements of growth was designing the Future War operations, where participants control an grownup John Connor leading the Opposition. Since T2 just gives glances of John’s administration, we had excitement expanding his legend. His play emphasizes proper mid-to-long-range combat, using a blood shotgun, pipe bombs, and three weapons types. He’s less versatile than Sarah but you do a defensive move to escape problems.

Some characters in theatre match the large presence of the T-800. We made him move purposefully to illustrate his weight and energy, most noticeable in his disastrous shoulder barge. He compensates for slower rate with higher strength, taking considerable injury before going down. The T-800’s segments were a fire to make, mainly recreating memorable moments like the Corral bar fight and the bike escape from the T-1000 in a 2D square style.
Of course, the T-1000 is one of the most renowned monsters of all time. Robert Patrick’s memorable performance —his sluggish, threatening move and unrelenting sprint—was crucial for us to catch. Bringing his wet metallic abilities to life in color arts was a real problem, but our animators nailed his threat. People may think it when they face him in-game.
Working on a subject related to such a cherished picture has been a great pride. Terminator 2’s characters are among the most beloved in cinema, and we hope players enjoy playing them as much as we enjoyed bringing them to life.
Terminator 2D: No Fate launches on PS5 and PS4 September 5.
