As an old person who’s still not over the novelty of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles being allowed to be called the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the UK without anyone getting funny about the word “ninja”, it’d be fair to say I’m a little behind on the franchise. So the news there’s a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game out this October based on a movie I didn’t know existed using an art style I’m totally unfamiliar with has brought a whole succession of revelations.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed, as the game is known, was actually announced earlier this year, but developer A Heartful of Games and publisher Outright Games have now released a first trailer, which you can see below. Mutants Unleashed – a “story-driven 3D brawler/platformer” – is coming to PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC, and promises “action-packed combat, hilarious teen spirit, and a whole load of pizza” as Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello traverse an “immersive” New York City.
You’ll be able to “skate through the streets, grind on rails, and zipline between buildings amid a dynamic night and day cycle” as the gang hunts collectibles and embarks on missions set after the events of this year’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem movie. Series regulars like Master Splinter, April, Bebop, and Rocksteady will also pop in to say hello.
