Open-World Survival Game Terminator: Survivors Delayed Until 2025

Terminator: Survivors, the open-world sci-fi survival game, has been delayed until 2025, publisher Nacon announced on Monday. The game, developed by Nacon Studio Milan, was set to launch in early access on Steam on October 24, 2024. Its release has now been pushed back to an undisclosed date next year. Nacon said the delay would give the development team behind Terminator: Survivors the time needed to create a game that “meets players’ expectations.”

According to Nacon, additional time was needed to build a post-apocalyptic world that does justice to the Terminator franchise. “This postponement of the game’s release was a difficult decision to make, but we believe that this additional time will allow us to ensure that our vision of the post-apocalyptic world of Terminator meets the expected level of quality,” said Marco Ponte, CEO and creative director of Nacon Studio Milan, in a press release.

“On behalf of the NACON Studio Milan team, I would like to thank all the players and fans of the franchise for their enthusiastic reception of Terminator: Survivors. We are incredibly proud to have had this opportunity to work on such an iconic franchise as Terminator, and we would love to tell you more about it. Thank you all for your support… We will be back,” he added.

The official Terminator: Survivors account also posted an update on X, calling the long-term delay “the right decision.”

Terminator: Survivors was originally scheduled to launch on PC in early access on October 24 (via Steam), with a PS5 and Xbox Series S/X release planned for a later date. The game was initially teased in 2022, but was fully revealed with a title and release date earlier this year.

The open-world survival title is set in the world of Terminator, the sci-fi franchise created in 1984 by James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd. Terminator: Survivors tells an original story in that world, set after the events of the first two films. The game puts players in the shoes of Judgment Day survivors, allowing them to play the game solo or co-op. Terminator: Survivors is now set to launch on PC sometime in 2025.
