Terminator: Resistance

The cinematic sequel TERMINATOR: DARK FATE isn't the only piece of TERMINATOR entertainment coming our way this November. Teyon has developed a video game called TERMINATOR: RESISTANCE that is set to be released in Europe and Australia on November 15th, with a release in North America following on December 3rd.

TERMINATOR: RESISTANCE will be available to play on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. An officially licensed first person shooter, the game is set 

during the ‘Future War’ scenario that was only glimpsed at in the iconic films from James Cameron, ‘THE TERMINATOR’ and ‘T2: JUDGEMENT DAY’. 

This story takes place in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, nearly 30 years after Judgement Day, and stars a brand new hero in the Terminator universe, Jacob Rivers, a soldier in the Resistance led by John Connor. Despite the fact that Jacob is just a lowly private, he’ll soon discover that he’s been specifically targeted by the latest threat from Skynet and marked for termination!

According to IGN, 

a mix of main and side quests will allow you to control Rivers as you see fit – as a plasma gun-wielding run-and-gunner, or a sneaky hacker – and scraps found along the way can be traded or crafted into useful gear. Skills can be levelled up to mold Rivers into the soldier that is needed to destroy the Skynet Defense Grid and bring the AI apocalypse to a halt.

Terminator: Resistance features multiple endings, which makes sense for a game set in a series with a multitude of timelines. Protecting your team of surviving resistance members will help dictate where the story goes.

The trailer for TERMINATOR: RESISTANCE can be seen below, and it looks to me like this is going to be fun to play.
