Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin AAA Action-RPG Announced for Consoles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin AAA Action-RPG Announced for Consoles In a significant new development for fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Paramount and Polygon have announced a forthcoming AAA action-RPG based on the critically acclaimed graphic novel, The Last Ronin.

This reveal comes at a high point of interest in the franchise, following the celebrated release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge and with a new animated film on the horizon.

The new title represents a darker and more mature direction for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.

Unlike previous entries, which have often leaned into the franchise’s light-hearted tone, The Last Ronin graphic novel adapts a somber narrative set in a dystopian future, focusing on the sole surviving Turtle seeking justice.

The game adaptation will capture this atmosphere, promising an immersive single-player experience that reimagines the TMNT universe for adult audiences.

The announcement was made in an exclusive interview with Doug Rosenew, Senior Vice President for Games at Paramount Global.

He shared that this ambitious project is currently under development by a yet-to-be-announced video game studio.

Rosenew explained that the game is still several years away from release, ensuring the team has the time needed to deliver a rich, story-driven gameplay experience faithful to its source material. "We are committed to honoring the dark and captivating world of The Last Ronin," Rosenew stated, emphasizing Paramount’s dedication to providing TMNT fans with an authentic adaptation.

While the specific platforms have not been confirmed, the game is expected to launch on major consoles, with discussions ongoing about potential availability on the Nintendo Switch and digital storefronts like the Nintendo eShop. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, the previous major video game excursion for the franchise, saw both critical acclaim and commercial success after launching on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC in 2022.

Developed by Tribute Games, Shredder’s Revenge revived classic arcade-style brawling and contributed to a recent resurgence in TMNT’s gaming popularity.

The announcement of a narrative-driven AAA title inspired by The Last Ronin marks another evolution for the franchise, demonstrating its versatility and enduring appeal across generations of players. The partnership between Paramount and Polygon underscores a commitment to expanding the turtles’ lore with high-quality adaptations, both in film and gaming.

As more details emerge—including the announcement of the development studio, official release dates, and platform specifics—industry professionals and TMNT enthusiasts alike will be watching closely.

For now, fans can anticipate a bold step forward for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, with The Last Ronin poised to become a landmark entry in both gaming and comic book history.
