T2029 – The Official Terminator 2: Judgment Day Board Game
Sadly it now looks like the official Terminator 2: Judgment Day board game ‘T2029’ has been shelved indefinately as it is now trapped in limbo while Rule & Make focus on other projects– it could still happen in the future- but not now.
We promised everyone that today we’ll provide more information about this project.
Sadly, we don’t have good news to share. While the project has not been cancelled, the project is currently in limbo. Rule & Make is prioritising efforts to deliver our current slate of games (Smiths of Winterforge and Hand of Fate: Ordeals) as well as projects scheduled for early 2018.
The Team is extremely proud of the game we’ve created but we are aware that the project lacks supporting materials to help communicate how the game plays and why it’s a game that is worth your time and money.
Given that several members of the team had to move on to other scheduled titles (some of the artists work freelance) we are still looking at timing so the team can reassemble to further develop the project. We’ve put a lot of passion and resources into the project and we are keen to see the game come to life. However, to set proper expectations, there is no definite date on when the project will continue.
We want to thank every member of the team that worked incredibly hard during the development of this project, as well as our distribution partners and licensor for their help and support. Finally, we like to give big thanks to the backers that supported the project.
