The rumors are true, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans. A new game featuring your favorite crime-fighting Heroes in a Half-Shell is coming your way later this year.
Developed by Japanese Studio PlatinumGames and published by Activision, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan will challenge players to protect New York City from "aliens, mutants, and the Foot Clan," the companies announced Tuesday. The game is slated to arrive this summer on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Windows PC via Steam.
The game will feature a single-player campaign as well as a four-player online co-op. Each turtle has their own combat style, and can be customized with a set of Ninjutsu moves, combat items, and special bonuses.
Leonardo is the most well-founded of the bunch, with a "medium-ranged reach and moderate attack speed," Platinum's Robert Cooper wrote in a Tuesday post on the PlayStation blog. Raphael, meanwhile, is "a little bit slower, but … a powerhouse," while Mikey has the speediest attacks but a limited strike zone due to his nunchucks. Last but not least, Donatello has the longest reach of the bunch, thanks to his staff.
The game will also feature a number of iconic TMNT enemies, like Shredder and his long-time accomplices Bebop and Rockstead.
"But be prepared — defeating Bebop, Rocksteady, Shredder, and other iconic bosses won't be easy," Platinum and Activision said in a statement.
