A new gameplay trailer has arrived for the upcoming retro action game Terminator 2D: No Fate, offering fresh glimpses into this action-packed side-scroller. Developed by Bitmap Bureau, the game promises to tell the story of the film Terminator 2: Judgment Day in its own unique way.

Players will take on the roles of Sarah Connor, John Connor, and the T-800 in this classic retro-looking adventure. According to lead developer Mike Tucker, players will experience the well-known events of Terminator 2 multiple times in different ways, as their decisions directly influence the outcome of missions.

Inspired by classic arcade titles, Terminator 2D: No Fate boasts fantastic pixel art graphics and utilizes pieces from the film’s original soundtrack. The trailer highlights a much-anticipated boss fight against the T-1000, alongside both familiar film locations and secret new levels. The game is scheduled for release on November 26, 2025, and is available to wishlist on Steam now.
