Slitherine Games has announced a new strategy game based on the Terminator franchise, Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance. In order to celebrate this announcement, the team has also released its debut trailer that you can find below.

Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance is a gritty, high-stakes real-time strategy game that puts you in the middle of the Future Wars between humanity and Legion’s synthetic intelligent machine network. Players will take command and guide their army to foil Legion’s plan to destroy humanity. Alternatively, they can play as one of three diverse factions in skirmish and multiplayer modes.

Although there isn’t currently any ETA on when this new strategy game will come out, you can find below its key features.

Terminator Dark Fate – Defiance Key Features

• Start humanity’s resistance against the machines by surviving engagements with Legion and rallying others to your cause. In the post-Judgement Day world, the greatest threats may not come from the machines but rather from other human survivors.
• Traverse various dangerous locals, find additional allies and supplies and navigate the brutal differences between competing human factions.
• Engage in complex, realistic battles where your tactical decisions are vital to your survival and ultimate victory. Use a variety of military equipment, vehicles and ammunition types in your battles against the enemy. Recruit and train new units, assign new skills and acquire new weapons and equipment to continue the resistance.
• Your battlefield tactics and choices have deep consequences. Your resources are limited and you must protect your army. Weapons of war receive damage through a modular component damage system where armour characteristics, component malfunctions and hull structure all affect if your troops survive.
• Recruit others to your cause and grow your army. Mix and match the composition of your troops to fit your preferred battle tactics. Use infantry units, heavy armoured military vehicles, plasma cannon technology, drones and other flying units and even human skirmishers to achieve victory.
• Use the battlefield to your advantage! Physics-based building demolition lets you generate a realistic set of tactical consequences, especially in urban areas.
• Test your skills in online multiplayer matches. Fight against real-life human opponents in 1v1, 2v1, and 2v2 battles.
