According to an article by Toy World Magazine, Paramount, which owns Nickelodeon and the license to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, has plans to release a AAA TMNT video game. The statement found on Page 170 under the 'Paramount Consumer Products & Experiences' section mentions that Paramount "will launch a brand-new original Triple-A game in 2023" for the heroes in a half shell. What could the new TMNT game be? An open-world game for the reptilian heroes sounds like a lot of fun.
