In the sunlit memories of our past, the streets of New York rang with the playful banters of the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But now, we tread into a world painted with darker hues and an atmosphere heavy with revenge, grief, and grit. U
Unveiled to the world in the THQ Nordic Showcase on August 11, TMNT: The Last Ronin sets us on a course to a future, battle-torn version of New York, home to, not a family of turtles, but a single one who's hell-bent on seeking justice for his lost kin.
The official if brief cinematic trailer sent hopeful fans on a frenzy. While the trailer may not have showered fans with the specifics, it painted, with broad strokes, the general essence of the game. The candlelight being blown out, the lone Ronin facing a legion of adversaries, all point towards an incoming storm.
The storyline, firmly rooted in the comic books by a magnificent ensemble of Eastman, Waltz, Bishop, Delgado, and the Escorza Brothers, released in 2020, offers a poignant premise. The question, "Who is the Last Ronin?", is poised like a silent challenge, leading us to the heart of the narrative - a lone turtle, on a harrowing quest through the remnants of New York. One can only imagine the weight of solitude he must feel, bearing the legacy and loss of his family.
Reaching further back, this isn't the first time whispers of, The Last Ronin, reached our ears. An announcement earlier in the year hinted at the video game adaptation of the five-issue series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin.
