Nacon has announced that it is developing a survival game set in the world of post-apocalyptic terminators.
It has been revealed that an untitled Terminator survival game, announced as part of the Nacon Connect 2022 showcase, is being produced at Nacon Studio Milan. It takes place in an open world and is set between the events of Judgment Day (Skynet’s nuclear attack that causes the apocalypse) and the formation of John Connor’s resistance.
The game features an original story that takes advantage of the events depicted in the movie. The gameplay hasn’t been revealed yet, but I’ve seen movie trailers show off the T-800 hunting someone in a warehouse-like environment. Not so many, but at least it’s because the drums of the original theme song can be heard in the background.
The Terminator series doesn’t have the best history when it comes to video games (or arguably movies since 1991). I remember being burned in the war of the horrifying Terminator 3: Rise of Machines in 2003. And the 2019 Terminator: Resistance review suggests that things haven’t improved over the years.
Hopefully, Nacon Studio Milan’s survival take against James Cameron’s permanent apocalypse will be a bit of a turning point for the series’ video game ventures.
