A new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game adaptation of the 2020 graphic novel, The Last Ronin, is currently in development. The game will be a darker, more mature take on the typically colorful Ninja Turtles, with gameplay likened to Sony's God of War titles.

Unlike other TMNT games, The Last Ronin will be a primarily single-character game, with the identity of the lone surviving turtle revealed as Michelangelo. The game will be authentic to the story of The Last Ronin arc, set in a future where only one of the turtles has survived, seeking justice for the deaths of the remaining turtles and Master Splinter.

The adaptation is being developed by an unnamed studio and is a few years away from release, according to Doug Rosen, senior vice president for games and emerging media at Paramount Global, the rights holders for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. As previously mentioned, the game will be a darker, more mature take on the typically colorful Ninja Turtles and will be a primarily single-character game, with the identity of the lone surviving turtle revealed as Michelangelo. Rosen said there are opportunities for multiple TMNT games aimed at both young and more mature age groups. Fans can expect more details on The Last Ronin and other TMNT games in the coming months and years.
