The bombshell announcement also revealed the first look at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge’s 6-player multiplayer. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge’s enemy groups scale in size based on the number of players kicking shell, making 6-player multiplayer a totally intense showdown against Shredder’s minions. Piling friends on the same couch isn’t the only way to play together; online multiplayer for 2-6 players has been confirmed, with heroes able to drop in and out of play at any time.
“The childhood dream shared between Dotemu and Tribute Games that ultimately became TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge is almost 30 years in the making, and in just a few days, we’ll invite fans back to the TMNT beat-em-up legacy to kick shell in an all-new game,” said Cyrille Imbert, CEO of Dotemu. “This all truly feels surreal.”
