After about a week or two of leaks, Activision, Nickeldeon, and Platinum Games today officially announced that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan will be coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Windows PC via Steam. The game will feature cell-shaded art as well as an original story by Tom Waltz, who also write for the comic.
Though the game is Rated T for Teen, I don’t see why younger fans of TMNT shouldn’t be able to play this. Yes it’s animated violence, but it’s based in fantasy so I don’t really have a problem with my younger kids checking this out when it comes out.
