If you thought the days of Terminator titles constantly getting delayed were over after Terminator 2D: No Fate finally released, a new challenger has emerged. Nacon’s Terminator: Survivors, a survival game set in the aftermath of Judgment Day, has been delayed again, this time to an unknown date.
Previously set for early access in 2024, it had been delayed to 2025, but the past several months have been bereft of new information. If there’s any consolation, it’s that Survivors will launch as a full game rather than going through early access first, arriving simultaneously for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
Unfortunately, co-op multiplayer is no longer on the table. Nacon Studio Milan creative director Marco Ponte said, “Though we’ve been quiet, we haven’t been idle; this year has been productive, and we’ve made important progress across all fronts, from world design and combat to narrative depth and atmosphere.
“After months of internal testing, discussions with players and fans of the license, we came to the conclusion that to give you an authentic ‘Terminator‘ experience with the best possible shooting and exploration gameplay, we would have to put aside the cooperative multiplayer. We know this may come as a disappointment, but we believe it is the right creative direction for an uncompromising vision of the world after Judgment Day.”
The developer will share a new release date when it’s ready. However, in the meantime, there will be NDA’d closed playtests with sign-ups currently available here.
“We know expectations are high, and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on. For now, I can only thank you for sticking with us as we do our absolute best to create a game worthy of the Terminator legacy. We’ll be back with more news as soon as we can,” said Ponte.
Terminator: Survivors is in development for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out more details on its offline support and multiple drivable vehicles in the meantime.
