Terminator Video Game Coming Soon

by Administrator

Since “The Terminator” movie is being made, you can expect Terminator video games to come out as well. The Halcyon Co., who is making the movie, have started a game subsidiary to produce games related to the franchise.

The game, which will be available on all formats, including next-generation consoles, PC and mobile, is expected to hit the marketplace at the same time as the film, which is slated for release in summer 2009. (Christian Bale is in talks to star in the film, playing freedom-fighter John Connor.)

Peter Levin, the acting CEO of Halcyon Games, said the privately financed parent company opted to form its own game division rather that outsource the “Terminator” license in order “to control our own destiny.”

Like a lot of blockbuster film franchises, “Terminator” has had its share of licensed games, most of which have done well in the marketplace. In May, Halcyon announced its acquisition of the franchise rights to “Terminator” from movie producers Andrew Vajna and Mario Kassar.

The game has been developed already for the last few months.
