In October 2020 we saw the launch of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, a mini series of five comics that tells an end for the Ninja Turtles by imagining a story where only one survivor remains. This story will have a video game adaptation and his style is going to be inspired by the latest God of War titles delivered to us by Santa Monica Studios.
In video games, the ninja turtles or TMNT are well known for their deliveries in the beat ’em up genre, especially after the launch of the excellent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge in the middle of last year. However, a new kind of experience is on the way thanks to the new adaptation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin.
Last week Doug Rosen, the senior vice president of games and emerging media at Paramount Global (the owners of the rights to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), conducted an interview with Polygon in which he confirmed that a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin video game is in development. This video game, like the comic, will have a darker story to which we are accustomed, since it is set in a future where only one of the turtles managed to survive.
During his chat with Polygon, Doug Rosen compared the new TMNT: The Last Ronin game to the latest TMNT titles. god of war that Sony launched, in addition to ensuring that the story will remain authentic to the arc we saw in the comics. For most of the game we will control only one character but Rosen said that maybe we can play as the other turtles through flashbacks, which are also present in the comics.
While Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge offers us a familiar experience, TMNT: The Last Ronin is aimed at a larger audience, as well as his comic book counterpart. This is no coincidence, as Doug Rosen said that there is an opportunity to make multiple Ninja Turtles games aimed at both young and mature audiences, which is why we saw the recent arrival of the Shredder in Call of Duty or the Turtles last year in Knockout. City.
Rosen did not mention which studio is developing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin video game, but said they are missing.”a few years” for its release. Still, Rosen says they’ve found the right partner to adapt The Last Ronin into a highly ambitious AAA game and plan to deliver more TMNT game news in the coming months and years.
