Publisher Reef Entertainment and developer Bitmap Bureau have delayed side-scrolling action game Terminator 2D: NO FATE from its previously planned September 5 release date to October 31. It will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
“Coordinating and manufacturing the physical release has been a longer process than we anticipated, and as a result, we’ve had to delay the release of the game,” Bitmap Bureau said in the delay announcement. “We apologize, and thank you for bearing with us.”
“This delay will also give the team at Bitmap Bureau extra time to apply some final polish to the game itself and we would like all players to have the opportunity to experience the best version of Terminator 2D: NO FATE together. As such, this delay will apply to both physical and digital versions of the game.”
Here is an overview of the game, via its official website:
