Rich Stanton, a noted retro-gaming enthusiast from PC Gamer, expressed his admiration for the upcoming release of Terminator 2D: No Fate, describing it as “the best Terminator game since the Genesis.” His excitement, however, has been tempered by recent news from publisher Reef Entertainment, which announced a delay in the game’s launch.
Release Date Postponed
The anticipated release date, initially set for October 31, has now been pushed back to November 26. The reason for this shift is attributed to ongoing global financial instability, a factor that has impacted various sectors, including the gaming industry.
The Terminator 2D: No Fate Collector’s Edition promises to be an enticing package for collectors, featuring a Steelbook case, collector’s tin, art book, flipbook, and a “premium metal paperweight,” among other items. For those who relish the idea of owning a unique piece of gaming memorabilia, the 0 price tag may seem justifiable.
Interestingly, the Collector’s Edition will not be available for PC, a decision that seems somewhat ironic given that PC gamers are often the most willing to invest in high-quality game packaging. However, this does not preclude the possibility of purchasing the PS5 version and later acquiring the game on Steam separately, a practice that some gamers might find themselves engaging in.
In summary, while Rich Stanton and many others eagerly await the arrival of Terminator 2D: No Fate, the current state of affairs necessitates a bit more patience. The gaming community will have to hold on for just a little while longer.
