Collaboration between Cats Who Play, Slitherine Software, and Skydance Media will soon bring us Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance. The newest Terminator video game will be RTS (real-time strategy) set to launch in 2022 exclusively for PC.

Slitherine Software revealed two teaser videos upon the game’s announcement.

“At Skydance, we’re constantly thinking about how we can augment fans’ experiences with the franchises they love. Players will finally be able to jump directly into the Future Wars with an authentic, gritty and brutally tough gameplay experience. Skydance has worked closely with our partners at Slitherine and Cats Who Play to ensure that this is going to be the best Terminator experience ever.” — Douglas Buffone, Vice President of Business Development and Franchise Strategy, Skydance Media

“Terminator is one of these rare IPs that crosses the generational boundaries and becomes a universal phenomenon for the ages. We are trying to create an experience that embraces both the depth of modern sci-fi storytelling and the fast-paced gameplay of contemporary RTS. All this while staying true to our roots of complex strategy gaming.” — Marco Minoli, Chief Marketing Officer at Slitherine Software.

The movie Terminator: Dark Fate was released in 2019. It is the sixth movie of the franchise, the sequel to the legendary James Cameron’s movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Directed by Tim Miller, Dark Fate was supposed to start a new Terminator trilogy, but unfortunately, the movie flopped on the box office, grossing only $261 million against the estimated budget of $196 million. The movie failed, let’s hope the game can do better.

Terminator: Dark Fate starred Linda Hamilton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, Gabriel Luna, and Diego Boneta. You can check the movie’s official synopsis below:

“In Mexico City, a newly modified liquid Terminator — the Rev-9 model — arrives from the future to kill a young factory worker named Dani Ramos. Also sent back in time is Grace, a hybrid cyborg human who must protect Ramos from the seemingly indestructible robotic assassin. But the two women soon find some much-needed help from a pair of unexpected allies — seasoned warrior Sarah Connor and the T-800 Terminator.”
