Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance is getting RTS players excited for the upcoming title with a new promotional campaign reminiscent of games of the past.
With today’s levels of CGI and cinematic capabilities, it’s not often that we see games use real actors for their in-game cinematics. Arguably the most memorable time a game did this was in the Command & Conquer series of games, which gave the series its feeling of camp (in a good way).
The upcoming RTS, Terminator Dark Fate – Defiance, is giving players a decent dose of nostalgia with their ongoing YouTube mini-series/promotional videos as part of their Report from the Frontlines series.
The game’s developers, Slitherine, take us through a journey of the human resistance, ramping up the hype train for the game when it releases in Q4 of 2023.

While it’s unlikely that it will reach the heights that Starcraft 2 reached, it should serve as a fun RTS experience for those missing out on real-time strategy games.
