Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City

A brotherhood in the shadows. A city on the brink.
In the vacuum left by Shredder's demise, the Foot Clan's grip tightens on the streets you once called home. It's time to reclaim what's yours. Don the mask of Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, or Michelangelo in the first ever Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles VR game.
  • Master each Turtle's signature weapon with precision strikes and blocks in this first-person action adventure.
  • Scale urban landscapes with fluid parkour
  • Confront fan-favorite villains
  • Forge your own chapter in the TMNT legacy solo or together with friends in four player co-op

Built from the ground up for virtual reality, Empire City will let players suit up as Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello or Michelangelo in an action-driven adventure that's equal parts hard-hitting combat and an exploration of the bonds of brotherhood. Comic book writer Tom Waltz, best known for his work on The Last Ronin and over 100 issues of IDW TMNT comic series, has joined the team as narrative consultant to help give Empire City the story, tone, and heart that the fans of TMNT comics have come to expect.

"As much as the Turtles are about action, their story is even more about family," said Ace St. Germain, Beyond Frames Entertainment CEO and Creative Director on Empire City. "Their strength comes from their bond, and this is something that resonates deeply with fans. Tom Waltz is one of the best-loved minds in the TMNT creatorverse today, and his stories over the last decade have helped to shine a light on that bond. We couldn't be more excited to have him involved in the project."
