Summary

  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City will be released on Steam VR and Meta Quest sometime in 2026.
  • The title will offer four-player online multiplayer, signature weapons, special abilities, and exploration of the Turtle’s iconic sewer lair.

A freshly unveiled game featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has caught everyone off guard, as it is set to debut as a VR (Virtual Reality) experience. These turtle warriors have an impressive gaming legacy, largely due to the popular beat ’em up games during the Turtlemania era in the early 90s and their subsequent spiritual successors. But more contemporary Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games have been exploring different genres.

In the autumn of last year, the game “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate” was released on both PC and Nintendo Switch. This roguelike brawler had initially gained positive reviews when it debuted on Apple Arcade in 2023. It was later adapted for PlayStation systems, with an Xbox release scheduled for June 24th. Simultaneously, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown” entered the turn-based strategy genre, offering a brief and enjoyable adventure in the world of pizza-loving crimefighters, which was released earlier this month.

I can hardly contain my excitement as a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) game has been unveiled! Cortopia Studios, known for their work on Gorn 2, is developing this exciting project titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City. Beyond Frames Entertainment will be publishing the game, and it’s set to launch on Steam VR and Meta Quest in 2026.

According to IGN’s reports, players will finally get the chance to don the colorful masks of our favorite turtle heroes, all while experiencing the action from a virtual reality perspective. A teaser trailer for the game shows us the turtles answering the call once more, this time through Michelangelo’s eyes in first-person view. I can hardly wait to jump into the action and embark on another thrilling adventure with the TMNT crew!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City Transports the Turtles to VR

In essence, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles emphasize teamwork, and the game “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City” offers a four-player online multiplayer mode. Similar to other TMNT video games, each turtle possesses unique weapons and special abilities. Players can use quickslot items, execute stealth takedowns for instant victories, perform aerial attacks and dashes, and utilize blocking mechanics in combat against the underworld of New York City. The Turtles’ iconic lair beneath the city will be fully accessible, allowing exploration of each brother’s private quarters.

As a devoted fan and writer with years of experience penning stories for the IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics, including the strategic role-playing game TMNT: Tactical Takedown, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be lending my narrative expertise as a consultant for the upcoming game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City. Ace St. Germain, CEO of Beyond Frames Entertainment, shared that this game will emphasize the deep-rooted bond between our turtle brothers – a theme that has touched the hearts of fans across multiple cartoons, movies, comics, and games for decades.

While we don’t have an exact launch date yet, you can add Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City to your wishlist on Steam VR and the Meta Quest Store. Stay tuned for more updates!
