TMNT: The Last Ronin announced for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC

Back in March, there was a reveal that TMNT: The Last Ronin was in development, with Paramount Global confirming that information. At the time, there were not many details of what to expect or who the developer was. Today, during the THQ Nordic Showcase a trailer was released for TMNT: The Last Ronin, confirming the game for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

The Last Ronin was a five-issue miniseries launched by publisher IDW in 2020. It was written by Kevin Eastman, who co-created the TMNT alongside Peter Laird in the late 1980s. The arc’s story was built around a mysterious Ninja Turtle who wore a black mask and fought using all four turtles’ signature weapons. The setting is a battle ravaged New York, and the mysterious Turtle is on a quest of revenge to defeat the enemy that killed his family.

Unlike other TMNT games that typically allow players to control all four turtles, The Last Ronin will primarily be a single-character game. While other characters may be playable in flashback sequences, the primary action is said to centre on the lone surviving turtle, who was revealed to be Michelangelo in the graphic novel’s final pages. The Turtles were most recently seen in video game form in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection.

The emulation here is flawless and the range of accessibility enhancements is very welcome. In fact, the treasure trove of behind-the-scenes content is worth the asking price alone. Sure, there’s a some ‘classic’ games included that won’t live up to nostalgic memories, but ignore the dross and you’ll have a blast with the near-essential selection of scrolling beat ‘em
