the last ronin game confirmed for 2025 release as third-person action epic
LOS ANGELES -- Paramount Global and Black Forest Games have officially announced that the long-anticipated video game adaptation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, titled the last ronin game, is scheduled for a global release in 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. According to the official press release, the title is a single-player, third-person action-adventure experience based on the acclaimed 2020 comic series. The plot positions the player as the sole surviving Turtle, Michelangelo, wielding four distinct weapons in a brutal, sprawling New York City devastated by war. Game director Martin Weidermann stated that the development team prioritizes a "mature, narrative-driven" combat system, with a confirmed ESRB rating pending. Industry analysts are already projecting the project to be a top contender for the 2026 Game Awards, citing its source material's emotional depth and the studio's pedigree in action games, including last year's hit "Rise of the Ronin." Pre-orders for special collector's editions, which include a full-body replica of Michelangelo's famed nunchaku, have already opened through select retailers.
