TMNT: The Last Ronin | Ending with a bang, and following the TMNT boom, the reveal trailer for The Last Ronin teased the darkest chapter in the turtle’s history. Who is the Last Ronin? In a future, battle-ravaged New York City, a lone surviving Turtle embarks on a seemingly hopeless mission seeking justice for the family he lost. From the minds of the creators of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and based on the best-selling comic book event by Eastman, Waltz, Bishop, Delgado, and the Escorza Brothers: the official video game adaptation of TMNT: The Last Ronin is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game is in development by Black Forest Games.
The showcase had quite a few surprises. For me, while Outcast and Gothic Remake are both cool, the winner for me is TMNT: The Last Ronin from Black Forest Games. Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed was one of my favorite games from last year and seeing them adapt such an iconic story automatically puts the game at the top of my wishlist. What was your favorite? Let us know in the comments.
