Earlier this year, Nacon generated some excitement with the latest teaser trailer for Terminator: Survivors, a new open-world adventure/survival game that takes place after Judgment Day in a post-apocalyptic setting. The game is apparently launching this year, but there are still plenty of outstanding questions, and thankfully, Nacon has stepped up to answer some of them.

First off, Nacon has clarified Terminator: Survivors’ setting, which takes place in a timeline where Judgment Day happened in 2005 and we see the John Connor found the resistance.

“We've witnessed Sarah Connor's efforts to avert Judgment Day, the Resistance's struggle against Skynet. And yet, while Judgment Day looms large in the Terminator mythos, the aftermath, the resilience of survivors, and the genesis of John Connor's Resistance have remained largely untold. Sarah Connor succeeded in preventing the Judgment Day event of 1997, but this did not halt Cyberdyne and the birth of Skynet, merely postponing the inevitable. In September 2005, Skynet attained self-awareness and initiated a global nuclear assault, resulting in the extermination of billions of people.

Those who were distant enough from the epicenters or who found refuge in anti-nuclear bunkers had to confront the onset of a new era amidst radiation and societal collapse. With long-range communication systems offline, people congregated in small, often conflicting communities, striving to secure the scarce resources available.

In Terminator: Survivors, players traverse an environment scarred by years of radiation. It’s 2009, and various factions are competing for dominance over territory and vital resources. Very few people are aware of the events that led to the dropping of the bombs and, especially at the beginning of the game, only a few know about Skynet's existence.”
