🔥 What it do, Durag Nation? We’ve got some major news (and bad vibes) about the highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin video game. In this episode of Super News, Sadot The Gamer breaks down the unfortunate reality surrounding The Last Ronin, the dark, mature TMNT game being developed by Black Forest Games and published by THQ Nordic.
Originally announced during the 2023 THQ Nordic Digital Showcase, TMNT: The Last Ronin was hyped as a God of War-style, semi-open world adaptation of the fan-favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic. But following mass layoffs and restructuring at parent company Embracer Group, development of The Last Ronin appears to have stalled—or worse, ended. This just sad.
In this video, we dig into everything we know, including:
The status of Black Forest Games after 50% staff layoffs
Why The Last Ronin didn’t appear at THQ Digital Showcase 2025
Whether this TMNT game is canceled or just paused
What the math from THQ’s “28 games in development” statement reveals
Hope for the future: will we get a TMNT The Last Ronin trailer confirming its return?
We also talk about the teaser that sparked hope, the deleted tweets from Black Forest’s CEO, and the eerie silence surrounding one of the most exciting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles projects in years.
If you’re a fan of TMNT, superhero games, or just want to stay on top of THQ Nordic’s gaming updates, Hulk smash that like button—or change it to a dislike if the news is dog water. And make sure to comment below with your thoughts on The Last Ronin’s fate.

What other superhero games are you still hoping to see?
I was there to work on the game before it all happened, and while I loved the project I had this gut feeling that bad weather was coming and was able to pack my bags one month before the layoffs. It sucks really.. I am wishing it will come back to life, I am still looking forward to the opportunity to help out if that day comes.
Color me disappointed I was really excited for the last ronin but thanks for this info I really hope it doesn’t get cancelled but I’ve been wrong before
I knew that this was too goid to be true. The Last Ronin is one of the best comics of the last decade and would have been perfect to adapt into a GOW style game.
Mbape 🎉 action series I mean ninja 🥷 turtles yes let’s see ps5 magic 🪄 at it
😔 wow… dreams crushed. They could’ve sold the game for $100 and I’d still buy it at launch. I’ve always wanted a more darker and gritty TMNT game for us adults who grew up watching the turtles.
Personally i hated the combat in the new god of war, especially compared to the original GOW's. I want combat like in the Batman Arkham games and spider man ps4. If I want to play an rpg i will play an rpg this game should not have rpg elements to combat.
Give it to Sucker Punch!
Thanks for the update
wasn't this just shown at Gamescon 2025 Playstation event?
Let’s see if the movie comes out, that might change minds
Noooooo
THQ is better off closing shop. AAA games are done. Black Forest should just publish it themselves.
Das soll mal einer begreifen. Es werden so viel Schrott Spiele produziert die die Leute nicht wollen und jetzt gibt es mal einen interessanten Titel und die Produktion wird eingestellt. Ehrlich wie du kann etwas sein
Dude F the Embracer Group wtf
None I can’t even lie I’ve been waiting for this game since it was announced
Nooo!! 🫨😭😭😭 Everything you need to know what’s next ps5 upcoming keep it going confirmed TMNT Wonder Woman, Transformers and others!
If the TMNT game is canceled, then my plans on buying a PS5 or PS6 are thrown out the window. That is the only reason why I would buy a different console other than Nintendo.
The people behind the original Arkham Asylum should make The Last Ronin it has to be dark
That's one promise from me: that's the last generation I bought. Sony and Microsoft will never see my money again.
This was really a bummer 😔
TLDR the game isn’t actually cancelled the game is either paused or at worst going from scratch. There is not a single word of information that it’s been cancelled by either thq or Black Forest games or Kevin Eastman.
Until there’s an official word and I mean official word from any officials saying the statement of the game it’s purely up to speculation if it’s cancelled or still in development.
Don,t buy their other games
Bruh ive been following this game for years wtf
Doea that mean the game will never be made
Well we got a movie announced for 2027
Why are you labeling this as a super hero game? Turtles have never really been called super heroes.
I just got reminded of this today I commented on that video 2 years ago its not happening ? I noticed 2years ago and nothing no leaks no gameplay? Christ Sony make a fucking game
Bro….. I'm gutted, I was really looking forward to this😣
Dang dude. Thanks for the update and I hope beyond hope that you’re somehow wrong. I want this game more than any other franchise
We all saw it coming
We're never getting a tmnt game that's even remotely close to Arkham Knight at this rate. Heck, I would be happy if they just remade/remastered Out of the Shadows or Mutans in Manhattan but that'll probably never happen either. God why did I have to be a gamer and a tmnt fan at the same time 💀
Give it to square Enix let em build combat like ff7 rebirth
They announced games that are close to being released or first announcement of being made. The last ronin is still in development and same will be for darksider 4 for the next 2 or 3 years. I prefer the announcements of spongebob where I only need to wait for the game for couple months.
Why did they bother announcing it to begin with.
Why is it always a PlayStation thumbnail? I’m not hating just curious I have all consoles
Bro imma crash out we been needed this game wtf
So help me, if they cancel the iron man open world game with its 1 leaked image from 3 years ago lol.
I hope they reignite the work on this The Last Ronin. It looks like a promising game!
Ya WHAT…..Nnooo man!
I was so hyped for this 😢
I hope team ninja picks up the last ronin… they’re combat system is on another level
F you EA
F you Activision
F you Ubisoft
F you Sony
F you Microsoft
F you Bethesda
F you Rockstar
F you all, I am out of here.
Good another franchise not killed by the modern woke gaming industry
could you reach out to them? gofundme we would all be wliing to chip in pls i need this tmnt game
Wait…more alex ? Didn't that lad get absorbed by James ?
So they aren't making this anymore that's absolutely garbage one of the only games coming that seemed worth playing as for a new DC game coming that doesn't help at all after the dumpster fire of Game of suicide squad and acting like James Gunn is going to make it any better is ridiculous the fact is it will be a love service piece of trash game but let's cancel any game that seems good and not a live service
😢 Nintendo Switch????
GRR IAM VERY ANGRY! THEY CANCLED MY GAME!!! IT WOULD HAD BEEN TH BEST GAME OF THE YEAR ! IW OULD HAD BEAT MY ENEMIES THE TURTLES AGAIN!
