According to rumors, a “brand-new triple-A” Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game will be released in 2023 by Nickelodeon and Paramount. Fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have had a rather busy year with the recent releases of The Cowabunga Collection and Shredder’s Revenge. However, it appears that 2023 is going to be just as busy, as a “brand-new triple-A” TMNT game is reportedly already in development for a release the following year.
as reported by NickALive and posted by ResetEra user P-Bo! Toy World magazine’s September issue, on page 170, announces the release of a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game. This year’s top franchises are included on the page that is dedicated to “Paramount Consumer Products & Experiences,” with a special emphasis on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
After mentioning the upcoming Seth Rogen Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, Mutant Mayhem, the page moves on to video games. It says, “Paramount is also planning a remaster of Konami’s The Cowabunga Collection at the end of the year and will launch a brand-new original Triple-A game in 2023”.
The specific references to “brand-new” and “triple-A” suggest that the new game won’t be a side-scrolling brawler like Shredder’s Revenge and will likely focus on a different team of Ninja Turtles than the 1980s team. Toy World makes no mention of what era of Ninja Turtles the new game will focus on or what kind of game it will be.
There’s a decent likelihood that the game under development for 2023 will be focused on that era of the Ninja Turtles because that year also sees the release of Seth Rogen’s interpretation of the Ninja Turtles, Mutant Mayhem, which the magazine also mentions as being a significant push for Paramount. It may be something entirely new, like the group in PlatinumGames’ Mutants in Manhattan, although it would make a lot of sense if it were to relate to the impending movie.
