The Heroes in a Half Shell’s Devoted Sensei and Master of Ninjutsu Bows into Battle in New Gameplay Fresher Than a Piping Hot New York Slice
Publisher Dotemu and developer Tribute Games in partnership with Nickelodeon today announced Master Splinter is bringing his command of ninjutsu to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge as a playable character. Master Splinter’s debut arrives alongside confirmation of the game’s release for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, in addition to the previously announced PC and Nintendo Switch, later this year.
Master Splinter’s calm, thoughtful nature makes him more collected than most of his green pupils, but his mastery of ninja arts ensures that he’s a formidable powerhouse. He dishes out particularly powerful attacks with his trusty staff and wide-reaching special ninja moves, bashing through groups of enemies as efficiently as the Turtles chowing down on a pizza. Watch today’s new trailer to see Master Splinter smash through the Foot Clan’s ranks:
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. From showdowns with infamous rivals like Bebop and Rocksteady to returns to signature locales like Dimension X, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is a bodacious celebration of classic TMNT beat-em-ups with its own modern touches.
