Don’t worry about the differences too much, though
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revengeis getting a new version this month. The latestTMNTtitle is getting a native PS5 version on November 15.
What’s different? Aside from running natively on the PlayStation 5, not much. Tribute Games and DotEmu have made it clear this version isidenticalto the PlayStation 4 version ofTMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. Previously,TMNTwould run on backward compatibility for the PS5, using the PS4 version.
This does mean that PS4 usersaren’t getting a free upgradeto the new version. But again, this is apparently not a substantively different option. So the reason why DotEmu and Tribute are making this? Well, it looks like for a possible physical version.
“The PS5 version is necessary to eventually offer physical PS5 copies ;),” theTribute Games account noted.
So if you’ve got one PlayStation copy, you still seem set. And down the line, this might allow for a PS5 physical version of the turtle-based beat ’em up.
A new platform forTMNT
Shredder’s Revengewas released earlier this year, and broughta whole lot of Saturday morning cartoon actionto PC and consoles. TheTMNTbeat ’em updid pretty alright in sales too, so it’s not too surprising to see these studios considering future options with the native PS5 edition.
Whether we see more content arrive inTMNT: Shredder’s Revengein the future or notseems up in the air. I’d love to see the crew dip deeper intoTMNTnostalgia, but considering DotEmu especially hasa good track record for beat ’em ups, I’m eager to see whatever’s in store next.
