Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin is Platinum's Next Action Game, and It's Coming from Paramount's New Games Label
Paramount Games Studio, a new division of Paramount, has unveiled its first game: Teenage Mutance Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin. The game is set in a dystopian future where New York City is under the rule of Shredder’s grandson, and a lone turtle seeks to avenge his fallen brothers. The Last Ronin storyline is dark and intense, but the show has been both critically and commercially successful. A previous game based on the franchise was announced in 2023 by Black Forest Games, but its current status is unclear. Now, PlatinumGames—the studio behind Bayonetta, Nier: Automata, and Ninja Gaiden 4—has taken the reins, bringing their signature action and storytelling to the Last Ronin universe.
A New Era for Paramount's Gaming Division
According to a Variety report, Paramount Games Studio is a consolidation of the company’s two existing studios: Skydance Interactive and Skydance New Media. The new division will oversee the development of upcoming games, including the previously announced Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra and an untitled Star Wars title led by Amy Hennig. The studio will be headed by Tony Driscoll, who currently serves as the head of corporate strategy and development at Paramount.
Driscoll shared his thoughts on the new venture through a LinkedIn post, stating:
“This isn't just about creating a new gaming division. It's about recognizing that games have become one of the most powerful forms of storytelling and community-building in the world.”
He added that the company plans to build games as a core part of its content strategy, alongside film, television, and streaming. This includes creating original worlds, strengthening fan engagement, and developing experiences that could evolve into the next generation of franchises.
What to Expect from The Last Ronin
While The Last Ronin does not yet have a release date or a Steam page, Paramount has confirmed that the game will launch on both PC and console platforms. Fans looking for more information can visit the official website at thelastronin.com, where they can find updates, trailers, and merchandise. The game is expected to leverage PlatinumGames’ expertise in action design, offering a high-octane experience that fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise will undoubtedly appreciate.
As the gaming industry continues to evolve, the collaboration between Paramount and PlatinumGames marks a significant step in the integration of film, television, and gaming. With The Last Ronin set to be the first major release from this new label, fans are eagerly awaiting more details about its gameplay, story, and release window.
