Besides working on their own IPs like the Bayonetta series, Japanese development studio PlatinumGames has worked on games based on popular properties such as Transformers and Avatar. In 2016, the studio also worked on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants In Manhattan, and it seems like the Japanese developer wasn't done with the franchise, as they are working on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin.
The new action game was announced today during Summer Game Fest with a short teaser showcasing just enough to get players excited. Sadly, no release window nor platforms have been confirmed, suggesting that the game could still be in early development.
Based on the legendary graphic novel series, Paramount Games Studio and iconic action game developer PlatinumGames present Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin. In a future, battle-ravaged New York City, a lone surviving Turtle embarks on a seemingly hopeless mission seeking justice for the family he lost.
As already mentioned, PlatinumGames worked on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan before Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, but despite plenty of promise, the game proved to be somewhat disappointing, lacking the depth the studio's games are known for. Hopefully, for The Last Ronin, PlatinumGames will take better advantage of the IP to deliver a high-quality game on the level of Ninja Gaiden 4, their latest game released last year on PC and consoles.
