Bitmap Bureau, the guys behind Xeno Crisis, Final Vendetta and Battle Axe, have just announced that they have a retro-styled Terminator 2 adaptation in the works, named Terminator 2D: No Fate, scheduled for release on modern platforms on September 5th 2025:


Releases for retro platforms have been confirmed to be announced - their making-of video talks about the game having been developed using their Abstraction engine, which allows for porting to a wide number of modern and retro machines:


The video noticeably features the likes of the Mega Drive, SNES, Neo Geo and Dreamcast, all of which received ports of Xeno Crisis. A port to the Neo Geo seems like a shoe-in, since all three of their previous games have been ported to it, but a Dreamcast port definitely doesn't seem to be off the table. I'm guessing much of this will be dependent on licencing restrictions.

Potentially exciting news! A fully licenced adaptation of a popular IP could have a huge effect upon the world of retro development if it draws in the right level of success.

Didn't they say they tried porting Final Vendetta to the DC but eventually they didn't manage to? So unless they worked on their engine to better handle the DC, I don't really see the DC handling this game either. But we'll see what Bitmap Bureau says.

I really hope they can bring this to Dreamcast as this is my kind of game 100%

I will pick it up for PS4 on launch anyway but fingers crossed for a DC version as well.

Hope this terminator game would have a rétro console version too.

That's friggin' dope they scored the license. A retro release would be icing on the cake.

Very good idea for a game. Contra alike but... Very sad it won't be available for Dreamcast

They talked about retro console version ?

Do they use KallistiOS? Is there a specific issue they're having with pulling off a DC port? Tell them to reach out to us KOS devs if that's the case.
