PlatinumGames to Develop AAA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin

Reassigned to Platinum, the relaunch signals Paramount Games Studio’s intent to centralize big‑budget games around its film and TV franchises.

Overview

  • Paramount Games Studio unveiled a cinematic teaser at Summer Game Fest, which aired Friday, June 5, naming PlatinumGames as the developer of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin.
  • The announcement replaces the previously announced Black Forest Games/THQ Nordic version, which Paramount says is no longer in development after that project stalled.
  • Paramount describes the title as a AAA action‑adventure based on the darker 2020 Last Ronin comic that will release for consoles and PC but has no release date or gameplay footage yet.
  • Paramount and Platinum say the game will pair Platinum’s high‑speed combat with a stronger, emotional Western storytelling focus, with Yohei Shimbori attached as director and Shawn Kittelsen and Mike Rogers working on narrative and production.
  • The reveal comes as Paramount consolidates its gaming units into Paramount Games Studio and includes short‑term tie‑ins such as a new one‑shot comic and limited BossLogic merchandise to keep the Ronin story active while development continues.
