Terminator 2D: No Fate is delayed because of 'global trade and tariff changes'

PC Gamer retro-gaming aficionado Rich Stanton was seriously impressed with Terminator 2D: No Fate when it was revealed earlier this year, saying it "looks like the best Terminator game since the Genesis." And for the record, no, he wasn't kidding. It's bad news for Rich, then, that he's going to have to wait a little longer than expected before he can start playing.

Publisher Reef Entertainment announced today that the planned October 31 release date has been bumped to November 26, for a pretty simple reason: Global financial instability.

The Terminator 2D: No Fate Collector's Edition is a pretty swanky package, with a Steelbook case and collector's tin, art book, flipbook, a "premium metal paperweight," two cloth posters, a fake arcade token, and more. It's the kind of thing that makes big box collectors think, yes, I would spend $100 on that. Alas, a PC edition of the CE is not available, which is kind of ironic because, anecdotally at least, it's PC gamers who are most prone to spending ridiculous amounts of money on nice game boxes.

Watch On

In any event, the short version of the story is thus: Everything's a mess and so we all have to wait a little bit longer. Sorry, Rich.
