Slitherine announces Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance will relentlessly make its way onto Steam in (northern) winter 2023. This is a real-time strategy game based on the latest installment in the film series, though its release four years later is a poor effort at a cash grab. A beta will arrive between now and launch, and players interested in testing should sign up on this page. There are also three new videos to hype the game: Report from the Frontlines #1, Report from the Frontlines #2, and Report from the Frontlines #3. Here's an explanation of what's new:

A first look at new gameplay was showcased as part of today’s live. A ragged force of Founders, hotly pursued by Legion machines, have encountered various other bands of human survivors. While the player has a choice to ally or not, joining forces with certain groups will reap specific benefits. In the mission highlighted, a steady stream of Legion convoys provides a juicy target for the resistance fighters to destroy. In addition, successfully retrieving a downed pilot in the area gives critical air support in later missions, while the appearance of a new human group - the Integrators - means either additional soldiers to be folded into the Founders ranks or another foe to be battled. What's more, with the mission's success lies the possibility to re-establish radio contact with Founders’ command center - a newfound connection that might be less fortunate than the player thinks.
