Several months ago, the production of TMNT: The Last Ronin was confirmed with a first teaser trailer, released on the occasion of a THQ event.\r\nOne of the most beautiful stories linked to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which you can discover by retrieving it on Amazon, will therefore return in the world of video games.\r\nThe first video released by THQ Nordic, however, did not show the gameplay in action.\r\nIt is also true, after the first details emerged on the game dedicated to the Turtles and inspired by God of War, on card could be a surprise, although now some bad news has arrived.\r\nAs also reported by PushSquare, in fact, Black Forest Games, also developer of the recent remakes of Destroy All Humans! as well as TMNT: The Last Ronin, has reportedly lost half of its employees following a series of layoffs.\r\nAccording to a 2023 count, the team had 110 employees, meaning that after the cuts it could be reduced to around 55 people. \r\nAccording to Kotaku, creative directors and most, if not all, managers will keep their jobs.\r\nThis is just the latest news of developer layoffs in the industry, with other setbacks at Outriders developer People Can Fly, as well as job losses at popular streaming portal Twitch.\r\nA GDC report states that 35% of video game studios have been hit by layoffs over the course of last year, while Kotaku also reports that over 3,900 employees have lost their jobs since the beginning of 2024 alone.\r\nAfter having remade the first two Destroy All Humans! for PS5 and PS4, developer Black Forest Games has set its sights on a new original game set in the TMNT universe, titled The Last Ronin. \r\nAt the time of the announcement, it was said that the game will be released this year. However, this series of layoffs will likely postpone the project.\r\nTMNT: The Last Ronin will in any case be set in a futuristic, war-torn New York. The tone of the game will be dark and aimed at a more mature audience.\r\nParamount’s Senior VP compared it to great action adventures like God of War, and it is coming exclusively for current gen platforms (i.e. PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC).
