FTS: Outblast Takes Off June 4, 2026 — A High‑Velocity VR & PC Shmup From Rhino Rock Studios

 


Rhino Rock Studios is gearing up to launch OUTBLAST, a sci‑fi arcade shooter arriving June 4, 2026 for PC VR and stand‑alone flat‑screen play. Designed for players who crave speed, precision, and pure arcade chaos, OUTBLAST throws you into a desperate fight to save the planet Perseon‑6 from total collapse.

A Mission on the Brink

You step into the cockpit of Interceptor Unit C11‑28, the last line of defense against a system‑wide outbreak known as the Typhon Virus. Entire districts are falling to corrupted constructs, the planetary core is destabilizing, and standard defenses have already failed. Your job is simple: boost, blast, and survive.

Built for VR and Traditional Play

Whether you’re strapping on a VR headset or settling in with a controller, OUTBLAST delivers a fast, fluid shmup experience. The game supports SteamVR headsets including Meta Quest, Valve Index, and HTC Vive, and it’s been optimized for Steam Deck from day one for quick pick‑up‑and‑play sessions.


What Awaits in the OUTBLAST Zone

Across five dangerous districts, players will face relentless waves of infected enemies, gather data fragments to upgrade their ship, and take on elite bosses inspired by mythic beasts:

Hydra

Gorgon

Minotaur

Siren

Typhon

Each encounter pushes your reflexes and ship upgrades to the limit as you fight to prevent a full planetary meltdown.


Key Features

Arcade‑style intensity with boosting, bombing, and nonstop enemy swarms

Five major boss battles guarding the core of Perseon‑6

On‑the‑fly upgrades using collected data fragments

Global leaderboards to compete with players worldwide

15 Steam achievements for speed, precision, and mastery

The Objective Is Clear

Destroy infected constructs. Collect data particles. Purge the system before the core collapses. Perseon‑6 is counting on you.

OUTBLAST launches June 4, 2026 on PC, SteamVR, and Steam Deck.

Terminator 2D: NO FATE – A Modern Arcade Revival of a Sci‑Fi Classic

Terminator 2D: NO FATE brings one of cinema’s most iconic battles—humanity versus the machines—into a fast, explosive 2D action format that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern'ish. Published by Reef Entertainment and developed by Bitmap Bureau, the game is an officially licensed side‑scrolling shooter launching across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and... PC platforms.


 A Return to Judgment Day 

The game reimagines the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day with pixel‑art visuals and adrenaline‑pumping arcade gameplay. Players step into the boots of Sarah Connor, John Connor, and the T‑800, battling Skynet forces and the relentless T‑1000 across missions inspired by the film and expanded scenarios crafted... specifically for the game.

Bitmap Bureau describes the project as a “love letter to ‘80s/‘90s arcade games,” aiming to create the side‑scroller fans always wished existed during the golden age of arcades. The result is a blend of iconic movie moments and original content, complete with multiple endings that let players shape humanity’s fate.


 Gameplay That Hits Like an Arcade Cabinet 

Terminator 2D: NO FATE delivers a complete arcade experience built from the ground up:

Glorious pixel art capturing the grit and energy of the Terminator universe

Fast, action‑packed side‑scrolling combat with modern responsiveness

Playable heroes across different timelines, including future‑war missions as John Connor

Authentic music and visual callbacks to the original film

Bitmap Bureau’s signature style—tight controls, explosive pacing, and visually striking pixel work—shines throughout the game, giving it a distinct identity while honoring the source material.


 A Faithful Adaptation with Fresh Energy 

The developers didn’t just recreate scenes from the movie; they expanded the world. The game blends iconic T2 sequences with new missions, original scenarios, and a structure that feels like a full arcade campaign rather than a simple adaptation. It’s designed to appeal to longtime fans of the franchise as well as players who simply love high‑energy 2D action.

 Available Now Across All Major Platforms 

Reef Entertainment has confirmed that Terminator 2D: NO FATE is available on:

PS5 & PS4

Nintendo Switch

Xbox Series XS & Xbox One

PC via Epic Games Store and Steam

With its blend of nostalgia, modern polish, and franchise respect, Terminator 2D: NO FATE stands out as one of the most faithful and energetic Terminator game adaptations to date.
