Paramount Global has announced that IDW’s graphic novel Teenage Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin gets a third person action RPG. Doug Rosen, senior VP for games and emerging media said Polygon it would be a single player game similar to the latest God of war titles.
The Last Ronin is about the only surviving Ninja Turtle who wields all four of the group’s signature weapons. The rest died because of the Foot Clan, and the survivor sought revenge. Although the other members may be played in flashbacks, the main character is the same Turtle.
Unlike the older animated series, which shows the Turtles as happy-go-lucky, this is a darker story intended for an older audience. The developer and platforms were not disclosed, but Rosen said the company found the “right partner” to adapt the series. It’s still a few years away (which means it might be limited to current-gen platforms), so we’ll have to wait for more details. Stay tuned in the meantime.
