Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin is one of the most beloved graphic novels from the TMNT universe, telling the story of a sole remaining turtle brother “seeking justice for the family he lost” in a “future, battle-ravaged New York City”. Initially announced back in 2023, the project has finally gotten its first proper details, including confirmation that it is being developed by the studio behind the likes of Bayonetta, NieR: Automata and Vanquish – PlatinumGames.

Making the official announcement during Summer Game Fest, the recently-established Paramount Games shared a first look at TMNT: The Last Ronin. Serving more as a cinematic teaser, the main piece of news from the reveal was the confirmation that the project is being developed by PlatinumGames.

While an exciting prospect given the studio’s penchant for releasing titles with fun and excellent gameplay, it appears as though the project underwent some internal changes.

Back in 2023 during the game’s reveal trailer, it was announced that The Last Ronin was being developed by Black Forest Games and would be published by THQ Nordic. Since then, things have changed quite a bit, with the aforementioned Paramount Games Studios being established, folding Skydance into it.

What this means for TMNT: The Last Ronin is unknown, with no release date nor a release window being provided – meaning we are in the same position which we were back in 2023. Still, having PlatinumGames tied to the project should hopefully mean that gameplay-wise, The Last Ronin will be top-tier (and given that the graphic novel is already celebrated, its narrative should also be solid). All that said, we will likely have to wait quite a while to find out.

Each month, Sony brings a number of games to its PlayStation Plus Extra / Premium subscription service. Unfortunately, at the same time the console maker removes titles from PS Plus on a monthly cadence. With February’s line-up now available to play, Sony has updated its list of games which are set to depart soon.

In going to the Last Chance to Play section on the PS5’s PlayStation Plus tab, users can find a list of 6 titles set to be removed from the service in March (likely mid-month):

• Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation Code Fairy
• Circus Electrique
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
• Redout 2
• Paradise Killer
• Cris Tales

While far from the most disappointing of months, the departing titles include a number of fun and enjoyable indies worth checking out before they are removed.

Paradise Killer is a unique first-person exploration-focused open world detective game in which you must try and solve a murder. With a cast of surreal characters and the ability to accuse anyone (though you will have to prove it in court), Paradise Killer is certainly worth trying out.

Redout 2 meanwhile is a fast-paced arcadey racer in the vein of PlayStation’s Wipeout franchise. Described as “The fastest racing game in the universe” Redout 2 blends vibrant visuals, pretty post-effects and a bumping soundtrack to ensure a constant sense of speed.

TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge is a throwback beat ‘em up inspired by the old school TMNT arcade games, albeit with plenty of modern quality-of-life improvements and gameplay refinements. Played best with a bunch of friends, you might want to give Shredder’s Revenge a run or two before it is removed.

As mentioned, Sony recently added February’s PS Plus Extra line-up to the service, including the likes of Spider-Man 2, Neva and Monster Hunter Stories. Further details on the full suite can be found HERE.
