Judgement Day has today been confirmed for 2009, as Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment has revealed the development of a movie tie-in for Terminator: Salvation.

Scheduled to arrive in May, the game (imaginatively called 'Terminator: Salvation: The Videogame) is a collaborative effort between WBIE, Halcyon Games, and Equity Games - oh, and development studio GRIN, which is actually crafting the action title.  The fourth instalment in the 24-year old time-travelling cyborg franchise takes place in the future, where John Connor continues his struggle to defeat legions of metal-endoskeletons that resemble a certain Californian Governor, and the seemingly omnipotent AI, SkyNet.

"Terminator Salvation - The Videogame allows players to battle for survival against Skynet enemies utilizing an incredibly fluid and realistic control set," said Cos Lazouras, President of Halcyon Games. "The player will be led through a visceral story with extremely polished production values to create a fully interactive Terminator experience."

"Building on the incredibly strong franchise, Terminator Salvation - The Videogame will be a cinematic gaming experience that complements the upcoming film," said John Quinn, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Operations, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "Working with Halcyon and Equity Games, we will expand on the Terminator universe on next generation consoles with action packed gameplay and detailed environments."
