Skynet invades Raid Rush Universe
To create the right story and tone to match Raid Rush’s established universe and mechanics, Yodo1 Licensing helped guide the IP partners toward a shared universe experience.
Raid Rush is a high-octane strategy game set in a science fiction universe, making it a great match for Terminator 2: Judgment Day’s simple yet resonant story of good vs. evil, human vs. machine, and uniting against a nearly invincible enemy.
In the crossover story, Skynet discovers Raid Rush Universe and uses its advanced technology to devise a crushing blow to the human Resistance. John Connor uncovers these plans and sends reprogrammed T-800 Terminator to defend the game Universe.
However, a T-1000, the liquid metal antagonist, brings Sarah Connor and a younger John to Raid Rush Universe.
What follows is an epic addition to Terminator 2: Judgment Day that gives players the chance to play unique campaigns as iconic characters like John Connor, Sarah Connor, and the Terminator himself.
Aside from many in-game rewards and extra content, the IP partnership deepens how players relate to Raid Rush.
We sought to make the IP event more than the sum of its parts, but rather a gaming experience that would elevate Raid Rush’s action and Terminator 2: Judgment Day’s legacy without compromising the game’s mechanics or long-held fan nostalgia.
