PARIS – August 25th, 2021 – Publisher Dotemu and developer Tribute Games in partnership with Nickelodeon today confirmed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge will feature April O’Neil, star reporter and beloved ally to the heroes in a half shell, as a playable fighter when the game launches on Nintendo Switch and PC in 2022. April’s debut was featured within a new trailer as part of Gamescom’s Opening Night Live conference.
Sporting her iconic yellow jumpsuit and trusty reporting gear, April unleashes flurries of hits against the Foot Clan’s devious soldiers via new gameplay. Her agility and far-reaching slide kicks help her close in on targets quickly, and she once again proves the turtles can rely on her unwavering support, even through slices of pizza. Watch April fight back the Foot Clan and catch a new original track from composer Tee Lopes (Sonic Mania, Metal Slug Tactics, Streets of Rage 4: Mr. X Nightmare) by viewing the full trailer here:
Inspired by the Turtles’ iconic 1987 design, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge brings New York City’s most righteous ninjas to life with gorgeous pixel art that’d look right at home in your favorite retro arcade.
