Platinum Games Developing TMNT: The Last Ronin Action Game
Platinum Games is creating a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game based on the manga series The Last Ronin. The action title was announced at Summer Game Fest 2026 and follows a lone surviving turtle seeking revenge in a post-apocalyptic New York.
Platinum Games is taking on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise once again with a new action game titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, announced during Summer Game Fest 2026.
The game adapts the manga series of the same name, which originally ran from October 2020 to April 2022. According to Paramount Games, the story takes place in a future where New York City lies in ruins. A single surviving turtle embarks on a dangerous quest for vengeance after losing his family, setting the stage for what promises to be a darker, more personal take on the TMNT universe.
This marks Platinum Games' second major project in the TMNT franchise. The studio previously developed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan, an action game released in 2016 across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. That title gave the studio experience with the fast-paced combat style the developer is known for, so fans can expect similarly kinetic action from this new entry.
The Last Ronin manga offered a grittier, more mature storyline compared to typical TMNT media, focusing on themes of loss, isolation, and redemption. Having Platinum Games tackle this property makes sense given the studio's reputation for crafting intense, skill-based action games. The developer has proven itself capable of handling beloved franchises with respect while delivering their signature gameplay style.
No specific release date or platform information has been announced yet, but with the game now officially revealed, more details should arrive in the coming months. Fans interested in The Last Ronin's story can track down the original manga series if they want to familiarize themselves with the source material before the game launches.
For those unfamiliar with Platinum Games, the studio has built a strong reputation creating action titles like the Bayonetta series and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Combining that expertise with the darker tone of The Last Ronin could result in something special for TMNT fans looking for a more mature gaming experience.
