Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Last Ronin

Paramount Games has announced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, a new action game currently in development at PlatinumGames (Ninja Gaiden 4, NieR: Automata, Bayonetta series). A release date for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin was not announced at the time of this writing.

The official game adaptation of TMNT: The Last Ronin was announced by the senior vice president for games at Paramount Global, Doug Rosen. Rosen hinted that the game would be an action RPG akin to the recent God of War games. At the time, the game was confirmed for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

IDW Comics initially published TMNT: The Last Ronin in October 2020, and a hardcover collection of the series was released in late 2022. The series features a dark take on the story and future of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

On IDW’s official website, The Last Ronin is described as follows:

It’s the TMNT event of 2020! Springing from the minds of TMNT co-creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird comes an epic like you’ve never seen before! In a future NYC far different than the one we know today, a lone surviving Turtle goes on a seemingly hopeless mission to obtain justice for his fallen family and friends. Kinetic layouts from Eastman, inks from Esau and Isaac Escorza and a thrilling script full of surprises from longtime TMNT scribe Tom Waltz all combine to make this one of the most memorable TMNT stories you will ever read! Oversized in both format and page count, this is a perennial TMNT tale that can’t be missed!

Stranger Than Heaven Tupac

SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have announced that Stranger Than Heaven will launch on January 15, 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, and the game will be available day one with Xbox Game Pass. With the approval of the Tupac Shakur estate, Amaru Entertainment the late rap legend’s likeness will appear in Stranger Than Heaven, according to Snopp Dogg. 

RGG Studio is treating Tupac Shakur’s integration with the utmost respect, crafting every aspect of the collaboration without the use of AI. This is possible due to the use of archival footage and photographs, which are instrumental in his character design.

Takaya Kuroda, the voice of Kazuma Kiryu, will also appear in the game’s main cast alongside Takashi Ukaji, Yasukaze Motomiya, Takaya Kuroda, and Kohei Tsuji (Nippon no Shacho).

The hype for the new game is evident, as the “Xbox Presents: A Special Look at Stranger Than Heaven” stream quickly became one of Xbox’s most viewed streams of all time on YouTube.

The story of Stranger Than Heaven stars Makoto Daito (VA: Yu Shirota), a young Japanese-American boy from San Francisco who searches for a better life by heading to a ship bound for Japan. After being caught by Orpheus (VA: Snoop Dogg), Makoto heads to Japan and becoming his sidekick, allowing him to learn the tools of the underworld trades. Makoto is joined by an older boy named Yu Shinjo (VA: Dean Fujioka), who is an ambitious and contentious fellow who forms a bond with Makoto.

Stranger Than Heaven takes place over five stages or acts in the following cities:

  • Kokura, Fukuoka (1915)
  • Kure, Hiroshima (1929)
  • Minami, Osaka – (1943)
  • Atami, Shizuoka – (1951)
  • Kamurocho, Shinjuku – (1965)

As a showman, Makoto can hone into various sounds and tunes on the streets to gain inspiration for original compositions. He can handle his promotion and manage performances, and he’s assisted by Takashi, who is voiced by Satoshi Fujihara from Official Hige Dandism. Tori Kelly is also part of the cast as Suzy, and she performs the theme song alongside singer-songwriter Ado, Fujihara, and Snoop Dogg.

Stranger Than Heaven features a new combat system where players can perform attacks with the triggers and bumper buttons, each of which are tied to Makoto’s left arm, right arm, left leg, and right leg, respectively. There’s a visceral feel to combat that places emphasize on Makoto’s hard strikes, which can be charged and unleashed on opponents.

Blood Message

NetEase Games and 24 Entertainment have released the “Hold Till Dawn” trailer for Blood Message, a new cinematic single-player story-driven action game in development for PC and consoles. Powered by Unreal Engine 5 and proprietary technology from the development studio, Blood Message is NetEase Games first “AAA” single-player action-adventure game. The trailer brings some insight into the combat mechanics of the Blood Message while offering a sneak peek into the game’s backstory.

Lastly, here’s an overview of Blood Message, via NetEase Games:

Blood Message introduces a forgotten odyssey of loyalty and survival where players join Dunhuang’s uprising, taking control of a nameless messenger and his young son in this immersive third-person action-adventure. Caught in the crossfire of a righteous uprising and driven by loyalty to both family and country, players will embark on a perilous eastward journey to deliver a message that holds the fate of their war-torn homeland. Amidst the shifting sands of history, they will etch a final tale of loyalty.

Set during the final years of the Tang Dynasty, players will traverse a treacherous 3,000-li (around 1,000 miles) odyssey back to Chang’an, the heart of the Tang Empire. Cross lethal landscapes including desolate deserts and the vast wilderness of East and Central Asia to survive brutal sieges, unforgiving terrain, and overwhelming odds. The game’s setting in the last years of the Tang Dynasty provides a cultural landmark of Chinese history that frames the story with customs, culture, and rich history of the era.

Key Features:

      • Narrative-driven gameplay anchored in cinematic storytelling
      • Visceral, realistic combat blending stealth and survival mechanics
      • A deeply emotional journey exploring themes of family, honor, sacrifice, and cultural identity
      • Expansive landscapes inspired by the diverse terrains of East and Central Asia, such as Dunhuang (敦煌)

How can countless ordinary people—smaller than dust—leave a mark on history? The  Blood Message development team offers this answer: The remembrance and praise of future generations become their eternal monument.

The game invites players to step into the shoes of unsung heroes—not emperors or generals—but ordinary people driven by extraordinary resolve. As part of a righteous uprising in Shazhou, Dunhuang, the father and son must navigate a collapsing world, torn between duty to country and love for family. When history forgets, warriors remember. The world has heard too many stories of emperors and generals—Blood Message is an ode to the unsung heroes.

It’s a new hunting-ground for the Alien, forcing players to improvise and develop new tools, techniques and tactics to survive the deadly game of cat-and-mouse.

Alien: Isolation is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC (Steam), and Nintendo Switch. Previously, Final Weapon had the chance to interview Alexis Smith, one half of the soundtrack duo known as The Flight, who previously composed the score for Alien: Isolation.

Splatoon Raiders will release for Nintendo Switch 2 on July 23, alongside three new amiibo for the game. It’s available to pre-order for $49.99 digitally and $59.99 physically. Despite being the first single-player focused game in the series, it supports multiplayer with up to three other players online or via local wireless. In Splatoon Raiders, you play as an engineer working alongside the Deep Cut Trio (Shiver, Frye, and Big Man). After customizing your character, you will journey across the Spirhalite Islands in search of treasure. Along the way, you’ll unlock new weapons, upgrade your abilities, and gain gadgets such as a melee attack and Big Man as a rideable mount. Currently, specific story details about the game are unknown, though it will feature the return of the Salmonids.

Splatoon 3, the latest entry in the franchise, is available now on Nintendo Switch. A proper Splatoon 4 will likely release in the coming years. Lastly, the Nintendo eShop describes Splatoon 3 as follows:

Enter 4-on-4 ink-slinging battles in this colorful action shooter packed with style and attitude. As a squid-like Inkling, quickly cover your surroundings (and opponents) in ink with wild weaponry and swim through your own color to sneak and splat. Dive into the fresh fun with family and friends and make waves as a team. Get splatted by an opponent? No sweat! The goal in Turf War is to cover the most ground, so respawn and jump back into the inky action.
