The clock’s ticking, dude
Brawler fans are still waiting on tenterhooks for a release date for Tribute Games’ upcoming sluggerTMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. to keep that hype engine rolling, publisher Dotemu has released the first in what appears to be a series of “Behind the Scenes” videos, looking at the ongoing development of the Foot Clan stompin’ adventure.
The video sees Dotemu CEO Cyrille Imbert and Tribute Games Co-Founder Jean-Francois Major discuss the conceptual days ofShredder’s Revenge, with the duo recounting their personal memories of Konami’s legendaryTMNTarcade brawlers, as well as Eastman and Laird’s immortal comic book and TV shows. We also hear how Dotemu’s work on the fantasticStreets of Rage 4helped pave the way for the company to approach Nickelodeon with the idea of a brand newTMNTbeat-’em-up.
Due to the strange timeless nature of the modern calendar, it feels like three years sinceShredder’s Revengewas originally announced. While the wait for a release date has made a lot of fans pretty antsy, one has to remember thatSoR 4was in development foryears, but, ultimately, resulted in Dotemu delivering an absolutely stellar title,one of the best beat-’em-ups ever, in fact. I’m sure that this wait will be worth it.
Be sure to check out the video for some awesome looking four-player co-op, featuring the heroes in a half shell, along with sensei Master Splinter and Channel 6 news reporter April O’Neil, as they lay waste to an army of Foot Clan, those pesky Mouser androids, and even rhino roustabout Rocksteady. It’s looking pretty dang fab thus far, and I can’t wait to check out the finished title in action.
TMNT: Shredder’s Revengeis currently in development for PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. It will launch at some point later in 2022.
