The Hope for Humanity Lies in Change
London, UK – 22 September 2026 – Slitherine Games announced today the release of Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance: Evolution, the newest single-player campaign expansion for its real-time strategy game based on the Terminator: Dark Fate franchise. The DLC is available now on Steam.
In Evolution, Lieutenant Church leads the Resistance north into the frozen territories of Canada in search of new allies, new resources, and a way to turn the tide against Legion.
Deep inside its mining and experimental research facilities, Legion is developing a new generation of killing machines. The Rev 6.5, known by Resistance forces as the Rippers represents a terrifying evolution of the machine army. Equipped with bladed limbs and rapid melee assault systems, these Revs are engineered for speed, pursuit, and devastating close-quarters combat.
For the Resistance, fighting them means changing the rules of engagement, and luckily humanity is changing too. As the Resistance gains access to augmentation technology, soldiers can volunteer to be enhanced and augmented, creating a new class of human combatant capable of fighting Legion’s most advanced units at close range.
NEW TECHNOLOGY, NEW THREATS
Evolution expands the battlefield with new units and technologies for the war between humanity and Legion.
Evolution DLC key features:
- 8-mission campaign expanding the story into the frozen north.
