Bodacious New Behind-The-Scenes Video for TMNT: Shredder's Revenge
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge’s Creators Detail Lifelong Dream to Pay Tribute to Classic Cartoon in Bodacious New Behind-The-Scenes Video
Publisher Dotemu and Developer Tribute Games, in partnership with Nickelodeon and Paramount Consumer Products, offer us a peek under the bustling streets of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge to see how the modern reimagining of the series’ classic brawling action came to be. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is headed to PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One later this year.
In a rare behind-the-scenes video, filmed in the Tribute Games’ studio, Co-Founder Jean-Francois Major and Dotemu CEO Cyrille Imbert discuss their lifelong dreams of working on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. After creating a string of acclaimed hits with the talent at Tribute Games (amongst other studios), Major joined forces with Dotemu to navigate the years of discussions to secure the rights to a new outing based on the Turtles’ timeless 1987 designs. Learn how Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredders’ Revenge changed from a multi decade-spanning vision to reality in today’s new video:
“Contributing to an iconic universe like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an incredible opportunity on any level, but even after completing a TMNT project years ago, I always held out hope that I’d be able to create an experience set in the original era that inspired so much of my childhood wonder,” said Major. “We finally found a partner that shares Tribute Games’ passion for the Heroes in a Half Shell’s debut. Getting to continue the legacy of the classic, beloved TMNT beat-em-ups that fans around the world grew up playing is surreal.”
“The reputation we’ve built with exceptional partners through modern classics like Streets of Rage 4 was vital to beginning our journey with Nickelodeon and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge,” said Imbert. “Tribute Games clearly shares our passion for the world of TMNT. Their deep understanding and devotion to the essence of classic beat-em-ups makes them the perfect force to ensure Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is the evolution of brawling fans deserve.”
