‘Terminator’ Franchise Returns to Consoles This Fall With ‘Terminator: Resistance’
With Terminator: Dark Fate set to arrive in theatres next month, it’s high time that we got a new video game, right? Lo and behold, UK video game publisher Reef Entertainment and developer Teyon have announced Terminator: Resistance for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC!
The game, which will feature an original story based on the film rights for The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day, will be released on November 15 2019 in Europe & Australia and December 3 2019 in North America. Resistance takes place in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, nearly 30 years after Judgment Day, and “expands upon the Future War glimpsed at in the iconic films from James Cameron”.
The player assumes the role of Jacob Rivers, a soldier in the Resistance Pacific Division. Despite the fact that Jacob is just a private, he soon discovers that he’s been targeted by the latest threat from Skynet and marked for termination. It’s up to you to smash Skynet’s Defence Grid and help decide the fate of mankind in the war against the machines.
Resistance will also feature a level progression feature where you enhance your skills through completing story missions to rise through the ranks of the Resistance, as well as side-quests to help your friends. Speaking of which, you’ll have to protect survivors, whose fates will determine just what kind of ending you receive.
Of course, you’ll face off against the iconic T-800, Hunter Killers and more in your battle for survival.
