What to know
- Terminator: Survivors has been indefinitely delayed and will no longer launch in early access in 2025, with no new release window announced.
- Nacon has scrapped the multiplayer co-op mode, shifting the game’s focus entirely to a single-player survival experience.
- The team is now focusing on the core single-player experience, with more updates expected soon.
Terminator: Survivors has run into a major setback. Nacon confirmed today that the game has been delayed indefinitely, and the planned multiplayer co-op mode has been dropped altogether.
The open-world survival game drops players into a post-apocalyptic world overrun by Skynet’s machines. It was planned to launch in early access on PC next year, with players looking forward to enjoying the experience solo or teaming up with friends.
Nacon says multiplayer didn’t quite fit the survival vibe they were aiming for. After months of testing and player feedback, the team decided to focus on single-player shooting and exploration to deliver a more authentic Terminator experience.
The move comes after a closed beta that received mixed reactions. While some players praised the game’s tense atmosphere, others wanted smoother controls and a less grind-heavy experience. Nacon promises more details on the single-player pivot soon. The studio insists the game still has strong potential without multiplayer.
It’s disappointing for co-op fans, but Terminator games have always shined in solo mode. This shift could make for a more focused experience, though there’s a risk of losing momentum if the delay extends.
