The upcoming open-world game Terminator: Survivors is taking a page out of the Resident Evil playbook by introducing a single T-800 as a relentless and formidable hunter that players cannot stop. The Terminator: Survivorsdeveloper has offered an explanation for why it decided to implement this type of enemy.
Terminator: Survivors is an upcoming video game developed by Nacon, set in 2009 before the emergence of John Connor's Resistance. The game presents players with the challenge of rebuilding the remnants of humanity following a catastrophic nuclear event. In this hostile environment, players must navigate as they are relentlessly hunted by Skynet's machines. They must scavenge for resources and forge alliances while balancing combat and stealth elements, available in both solo and co-op modes for up to four players.
According to the Terminator: Survivors developer, the game will feature a «single T-800, a relentless and formidable hunter that cannot be stopped.» This type of gameplay element has been seen before in the Resident Evil franchise. Fans might remember Mr. X from Resident Evil 2: a towering, trenchcoat-wearing tyrant who relentlessly pursues the player, instilling dread as they navigate the environment, unsure of when he might strike next. The same dynamic is seen with Nemesis from Resident Evil 3 and Jack Baker from Resident Evil 7.
According to the developer, the decision to include the T-800 as a relentless antagonist stems from multiple factors. Firstly, it aligns with the lore consistency, as the game unfolds during a period when Skynet's production capabilities hadn't reached their peak yet. This T-800 serves as a haunting reminder of Skynet's «pursuit across time,» showcasing the dire consequences of its actions. Secondly, the tone and atmosphere aim to capture the essence of the first two Terminator action movies, instilling a sense of «dread and urgency» reminiscent of being hunted by an unstoppable machine. Players will experience constant peril and tension, much like the protagonists in the movies, as they navigate the game's environment.
The Terminator franchise has a rich history in video games, from Bethesda's DOS-based action-adventure game in 1991 to various releases across different platforms like Sega Genesis, NES, and mobile devices. Despite some critical hits and misses over the years, games like Terminator: Resistance have continued the legacy.
While fans of the franchise might be expecting to see various elements in Terminator: Survivors, this intriguing addition could add a layer of tension to the game. Players should keep an eye out for any future updates leading to the game's release on October 24, 2024.

Despite being hugely allergic to horses - my eyes once swelled up so severely at a local fair my wife had to guide me home - I continue to be absolutely spellbound by the animals. I’ve been rewatching The Lord of the Rings this week and I’ve been genuinely gripped by watching professionally trained horses galloping across the vistas of New Zealand, rearing up against tennis balls representing CGI orcs and charging down the incredibly steep slope next to Helm’s Deep. Not to mention my love of just riding endlessly in a direction on horseback in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey (helped by Kassandra's wonderful command of "Phobos!" to summon her mount).
