Slitherine has announced that their upcoming RTS game Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance, which was initially schedule to be released last year, will now instead be aiming for release this winter on Steam. The announcement was accompanied by several new teaser videos of Defiance during the Slitherine Next Showcase, including a look at the gameplay.
The gameplay reveal involved a never-before-seen mission, in which the player commanding a force of resistance fighters, pursued by Legion machines, encounter 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 Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance, surviving humans fight for their existence against the all-powerful synthetic intelligent machine network Legion. However, the greatest threat may not come from the ravaging machines, but from bands of other human survivors.
Players will take control of armies as they fight complex tactical battles using near-future and machine-tech weaponry as part of one of three factions available at launch: Founders, Legion or Resistance. Prospective commanders will be able to play across a riveting single-player campaign with massive strategic maps or take part in multiplayer modes.
Throughout the game, players will have freedom of choice and will make decisions that will have an effect on subsequent missions and resonate throughout the game as players progress. These decisions can result in various outcomes including gaining intel, weaponry or allies in future conflicts.
