It’s hard keeping things a secret and under wrapped nowadays, huh?
Rumoured as early as last November, when the achievements list was leaked, it was speculated that Activision would officially reveal PlatinumGames’s latest licensed IP to be turned into a fantastic character action game during the Game Awards. As months past by, more leaks appear, including screenshots, drips on as both Activision and Platinum say nary a word.
Until Platinum’s Twitter finally broke the silence with this cheeky tweet. Unfortunately, not long after the official trailer was leaked earlier than expected. Leaky pipe indeed.

Now officially “leaked”, TMNT Mutants in Manhattan looks to be a by-the-book Platinum character action game. Considering Transformers Devastation is a great game, and Legend of Korra before that wasn’t that terrible, this could be another fun romp.
The turtles look distinctively different, which helps differentiate it from the countless Ninja Turtles game before it. Online four-player co-op is confirmed, a first for Platinum game. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan is expected to release on Xbox On, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, and PC this summer, which means around as early as this June.
