During the recent Nintendo Direct showcase, Super Evil Megacorp announced a release date for their award-winning game be releasing their award-winning game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate, on Nintendo Switch. While we've known it would be arriving on the console this July, it was confirmed that the game will officially release for the Switch on July 17th.
Originally released for the Apple Arcade in 2023 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a roguelike action-adventure game. In it, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo must travel through reality-bending portals to rescue their kidnapped master, Splinter. The official description reads:
When Splinter is kidnapped by Shredder, mysterious portals simultaneously appear across NYC. With April and Metalhead analysing recovered artifacts for clues, the Turtles battle to recover their father from the clutches of the Foot Clan. However, as the gang gets ever closer to Splinter’s otherworldly location, an even greater threat lingers in the shadows…
As a roguelike action game, no two runs in Splintered Fate are the same. There are randomized power-ups, room layouts, and boss modifiers. Additionally, each of the four playable turtles features their signature weapons, unique abilities and combat style, as well as customization options to further specialize their moveset. For example, Donatello's staff allows for more range in his attacks, while Raphael has a higher chance of dealing critical damage. Each run offers players a chance to enhance their character's abilities with power-ups and choose from a variety of Turlte Powers to customize their movest with powerful combos.
Featuring Super Evil’s unique, fluid combat style mixed with strategic and surprising roguelike gameplay, the result is a fresh Turtles experience with scores of replayability. The game features fast-flowing combat, a diverse build system that will allow players to build the elemental infused Teenage Turtle of their dreams, bodacious co-op capabilities, and improved visual design, graphics and audio quality. Set across four unique New York City environments, the game keeps TMNT fans enthralled from start to finish, as players encounter familiar allies, tons of easter eggs and references across collectibles and narrative, and encounters with iconic bosses including, of course, the mutant duo Bebop and Rocksteady and archenemy Shredder.
On Apple Arcade, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate received universal critical acclaim with more than 22,000 perfect scores. The game's arrival on Nintendo Switch next month will mark developer Super Evil Megacorp's console debut. The award-winning, independent studio is also known for creating Vainglory (2014-2020) and Catalyst Black (2022).
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate will be released for Nintendo Switch on July 17. The game was announced as a timed console exclusive, which means it could come to PlayStation and Xbox consoles in the future.
