New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game revealed, tied to the film
Cowabunga and all that.
A brand new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game has been revealed, and it follows on from the events of surprise hit TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, with painterly visuals inspired by the film’s striking art style.
Mutant Mayhem, from Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures, released in the summer of 2023 to rave reviews. Critics around the world praised its unique visuals, snappy writing and ability to effortlessly capture what it is that everyone loves about these heroes in a half-shell.
Our own four-star review praised it for its "smart, accomplished movie-making that relishes colouring outside the lines to breathe fresh air into a genre that frequently teeters on the brink of cliché".
Seth Rogen managed to put together an all-star cast for the animated film, including himself, John Cena, Jackie Chan, Maya Rudolph, Paul Rudd, Ice Cube, Rose Byrne, Giancarlo Esposito and even Natasia Demetriou.
Now, the exciting visuals of the film are continuing as a video game, launching in 2024 on PC and consoles.
We don’t have a name for the game yet, but we do know it’s set in the same world as Mutant Mayhem, and its story is taking place months after the events of the movie.

A press release has detailed that the upcoming game is set to feature "unique visuals inspired by the film’s bold, painterly art style".
It will also combine "energetic ninja teamwork gameplay with a humorous narrative" in which you take control of the titular ninja turtles and attempt to save New York City from a new mutant threat.
No trailer or screenshots of the game have been revealed as of yet, but scroll to the top of this page and you’ll see the first official concept art that points to the art style the game is hoping to achieve. If it manages to successfully implement the art style of the film, we’re in for one ludicrously pretty game.
