PlatinumGames Takes Over TMNT Game 3 Years After The Last Ronin Debut

Summary
PlatinumGames assumed development of TMNT: The Last Ronin late last year, reviving a project Paramount first announced in 2023 and reintroduced at Summer Game Fest with a new teaser.
The earlier AAA third-person action RPG was scrapped, and Paramount said Platinum won the job with a pitch built on hard-hitting combat and a stronger emotional arc.
Yohei Shimbori is directing the game, which Paramount says aims to blend Platinum-style Japanese action with Western storytelling rooted in the comic's darker, futuristic New York setting.
The adaptation draws on the 2020 comic about the lone surviving Turtle seeking revenge against the Foot Clan, signaling an older-skewing tone for console and PC players.
No release date was announced, but Paramount said it wants the project to reach a 'prestige' level alongside action benchmarks such as God of War, Ghost of Tsushima and Metal Gear Rising.
