Summary
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashedgets a major update that brings a wealth of additions, ranging from gameplay tweaks to a bunch of new accessibility features. Developed by Aheartfulofgames, the latestTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlestitle came out on June 15, 2025, for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo platforms.
Set in the same universe as the 2023 animated filmTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,Mutants Unleashedis a beat ‘em up game with platformer elements whose story follows right after the events shown in the film. It lets the player take control of Leonardo, Raphael, Michaelangelo, and Donatello, as they try to save New York City from a mutant crisis either in single-player mode or two-player couch co-op mode. Upon release, the Outright Games-published title received an uninspiring reception, failing to replicate the notable success of previous games in the franchise, such as thewell-receivedTMNT: Shredder’s Revengefrom 2022. However, the studio is already working on making amends, having recently released an update that addresses some player concerns.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashedjust received a new patch, upping the game’s difficulty level and introducing a host of new accessibility features, per aNintendoLifereport. One prominent addition is the Colorblind Mode, aimed to facilitate players who have Deuteranomaly, Protanomaly, or Tritanomaly color blindness. Another key update feature for theTMNT Mutant Mayhem-universegame is the increased difficulty, which the developer mentioned “caters to fan demand.”
The newTMNT: Mutants Unleashedupdate makes for an experience optimized for the player’s needs. Among the various accessibility options added are the toggles for the tutorial, assist animations, screen shake, and hit stops. On the other hand, certain difficulty tweaks have been made to offer “die-hard fans” a tougher challenge. Case in point, the Score Meter has been changed, so that players face significant score reductions for taking damage, making it harder to get a perfect score. On top of that, at mutagen levels of 60+ and 80+, life drops have been reduced and increased enemy damage has been put into effect for theTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesquartet.
AsTMNTfans test the newMutants Unleashedpatch improvements, they may want to simultaneously keep an eye on rumors of the franchise collaborating with a popular AAA game. Recently, there has been speculation aboutTMNTcrossing over toCall of Duty: Black Ops 6at some pointin the future. Keeping in mind thatCall of Dutyis known to be prolific when it comes to collaborations, it wouldn’t be too ambitious to expect aTMNTcrossover to be on the horizon.
