the last ronin game receives official release date after years of development delays
PARIS, FRANCE – The highly anticipated action-adventure title, officially titled "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin," has secured a firm release date of October 23, 2025, after multiple development setbacks. Announced Tuesday by publisher THQ Nordic and developer Black Forest Games, the game is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam. Based on the critically acclaimed IDW comic book series, the single-player narrative follows a lone surviving Turtle in a dystopian New York City, seeking vengeance for his fallen brothers. According to a press release, the final date follows a "comprehensive quality assurance phase," with pre-orders now live, offering a standard edition at $59.99 and a collector's edition featuring a statue and art book. Why the delay from an initial 2023 target? Insiders cited a shift to Unreal Engine 5 for enhanced lighting and combat mechanics, with the studio confirming the decision was made to "fully realize the gritty vision of the source material."
