I've been waiting for this game ever since it was informally announced! This game was unusually announced in September 2023 for PC and unspecified consoles as a movie tie-in game for Mutant Mayhem along with an image showcasing the art style they're going for. It's unusual though because the publisher Outright Games does not typically announce games this far ahead of time, typically opting to announce a game a month or so prior to release.
Today, the title and a few screenshots were revealed via Game Informer. Possibly a first for an Outright Games title to get a formal, exclusive reveal by a gaming publication.The game is set after the movie. It is not due for release until the end of the year. The developer is aheartfulofgames who has worked on Heart&Slash as well as DreamWorks Spirit Lucky's Big Adventure and DreamWorks Dragons: Legends of The Nine Realms both for Outright Games. This is the first 3D Turtles games since 2016 when PlatinumGames released Mutants in Manhattan which was delisted just months after release but has a physical release that seems to be around $40 for a CIB used PS4 copy.

It also seems like they are taking extra care with this TMNT game given it's unusual rollout. I'm looking forward to it no matter what because I'm obsessed with this era of the Turtles and have watched Mutant Mayhem several times.
They have a continuation of Mutant Mayhem coming sometime this summer via the animated series Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which also takes place after the movie and the direct theatrical sequel film was just recently dated for October 9! ... of 2026. The series and game should be nice to make the wait feel less long at least.
