TMNT Mutants in Manhattan gets pre-order DLC

More On: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan

Groan. Is there anything more irritating than pre-order DLC? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan isn't even out yet and Activision already has their hand out.

Thankfully it just looks like those completely cosmetic costumes that don't really affect the gameplay. If you preorder from Gamestop you get the Rock N Roll costumes, which look like really cringy 80s punk outfits. Preordering from PSN or XBLA nets you the Samurai costumes, which look a lot cooler but sort of remind me of the third TMNT movie from back in the 90s.

Personally, I prefer to play as the regular old heroes in a half shell when the game arrives on May 24th.

Hello!

Activision Publishing, Inc., Nickelodeon and independent developer PlatinumGames Inc. have revealed two new sets of cosmetic character DLC that will be available to those who pre-order the upcoming third-person action game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles??: Mutants in Manhattan.

Those who pre-order Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan from GameStop will receive four unique Rock N Roll costumes for Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo to wear in game, while pre-orders from the PlayStation®Store, Xbox Games Store and Steam will earn four distinctive Samurai skins.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan is a fast and shell-shocking team brawler that pits players against the many menacing minions of the Foot Clan, as well as fan-favorite villains like Shredder, General Krang, Karai, Bebop, Rocksteady, Armaggon, Wingnut and Slash. Protect the streets of New York City alone or with up to four players in online co-op. The game features stylish 3D cel-shaded visuals and an original story with comic attitude from IDW Publishing series author Tom Waltz.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan is expected to launch in North America 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.
