More On: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan

Platinum Games is known for their relentlessly difficult action games, which include even more punishing boss battles. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan is no exception, as this trailer aptly demonstrates. Not only will you get to lay the beatdown on classics like Bebop and Rocksteady, but lesser-known villains show up too, like Shredder's adopted daughter, the ninja Kirai. 

I'm really looking forward to this game. It just came out of nowhere and after Michael Bay's awful TMNT movies, it's a much-needed antidote for turtle fans like me.


Activision Publishing, Inc., Nickelodeon and developer PlatinumGames Inc. have released a new trailer from the upcoming third-person action game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles??: Mutants in Manhattan. Today??s video gets up close with the many colossal bosses facing off against Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo in this new adventure. It showcases popular franchise villains like Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady, and General Krang, as well as first-time reveals for the ninja Karai, mutant-alien bat Wingnut, and mutant-snapping turtle Slash.

Mixing PlatinumGames?? always-energetic style with the attitude of Nickelodeon??s Heroes in a Half-Shell, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan delivers fast-paced, team-based brawling for up to four players in online co-op. Each Turtle offers a unique way to play, with distinct combat abilities and progression paths. It also features colorful cel-shaded 3D visuals and an original comic story from IDW Publishing series author Tom Waltz.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan is expected to launch on May 24 as a retail and digital release on the PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Windows PC via Steam.
