Publisher Outright Games has just given fans their first look at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed, an upcoming video game that ties into last year’s Mutant Mayhem animated film. Aside from the Heroes-In-A-Half-Shell making their long-awaited return to the silver screen, the past few years have been an exhilarating time for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise — especially when it comes to video games.

Finally, Raw Thrills’ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants will come to home consoles later this year with new features and content that the original arcade release didn’t have.

TMNT: Mutants Unleashed is a story-driven 3D brawler/platformer that picks up where Mutant Mayhem left off, with the Turtles facing off against a new wave of mutants threatening New York City. Players will take control of the four Turtle siblings in either single-player or couch co-op (which could be added post-launch) as they battle their way across various urban environments and interact with characters from the movie.

So far, there isn’t an official release date set for this latest TMNT-based video game, but Mutants Unleashed is expected to drop sometime in Q4 of this year. This would place its release after the Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series premiers on Paramount + this summer. Just like Mutants Unleashed, this two-season series will serve
