Outright Games, a leading global publisher of family-friendly interactive entertainment, in collaboration with Paramount Game Studios, are thrilled to officially launch their hugely anticipated title Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed. Developed by A Heartful of Games, this 3D Beat ‘Em Up’ Platformer is out now on PlayStation 4®, PlayStation 5®, Nintendo Switch™, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.
Set in the aftermath of the acclaimed 2023 Paramount Pictures film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, play as the four brothers to discover the mystery behind a new type of menace wreaking havoc across New York City. Go up against 10 brand new mutants, or “Mewbies” for short, each with 5 varying forms of mutation that are set to level up the challenge. Boasting high-energy gameplay, utilise the Turtles’ unique weapons and combat styles, from Mikey’s brawler-style close range attacks to Donnie’s bō staff-wielding prowess. The game also sees the voice actors behind the titular brothers return, with Nicolas Cantu as Leonardo, Brady Noon as Raphael, Micah Abbey as Donatello and Shamon Brown Jr. as Michelangelo, as the quartet reprise their movie roles.
In addition to the iconic Turtles, fans can also look forward to the return of other characters from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Take on surreal Dojo challenges from Master Splinter, assist April in creating her “O’News” broadcasts, and help Bebop and Rocksteady adjust to New York life with their new pizza place job plus much, much more!
With a distinct New York feel, the game offers multiple interactive locations to absorb fans into the world of the Turtles. Train in the Turtles’ Sewer Lair inspired directly by the film location, or visit new “hangout” spots such as the Coexisting Center, the Haunted Arcade and an abandoned movie theatre – all immersively changing with the game’s dynamic day and night cycle.
While exploring the game’s expansive map, players can complete main missions and NPC side quests, experiencing adrenaline-fueled boss battles, taking on pizza delivery challenges, and discovering hidden graffiti secrets around the city as players investigate the troublesome Mewbies’ origins. Completing quests to advance the story, players can unlock new abilities via gaining XP and levelling up Ally Bonds through immersive and infectiously humorous dialogue. Adding to the mayhem, players can even team up with a buddy in up to 2-player couch co-op as they vie to restore peace to New York City and help the Turtles achieve their dreams of attending a regular high school.
Introducing new characters authentically designed by the film’s lead character designer, Woodrow White, fans can delight in the faithful recreation of the film’s distinct and colourful art style, with a variety of fully voice acted dynamic 2D and 3D cutscenes. With unlockable skins based on the original comic book Turtles in black and white and a unique variation on the 80s cartoon Turtles, fans of all eras can enjoy this new gaming take on the incredible Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise.
Stephanie Malham, Managing Director of Outright Games said: “The anticipation for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed from fans has been phenomenal and we are delighted to finally release this game into the world. With the help of our friends at Paramount and our talented developers A Heartful of Games, we’ve captured the unique art style and humour of the most recent film, while offering story-driven brawler gameplay that faithfully fits the world of TMNT.”
Doug Rosen, SVP, Games and Emerging Media, Paramount, said: “The TMNT franchise has a rich history in gaming, and we cannot wait for fans to immerse themselves in this new story and further explore this universe. The gameplay is fun and delivers the dynamic action players expect., the narrative is captivating, and we are sure fans will return to the New York sewers again and again for more.”

NetEase Games, the online games division of NetEase, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTES, HKEX: 9999), has launched a brand-new scenario- The Way of Winter for Once Human, bringing new gameplay mode and a challenging new area to the game, filled with fresh content to experience and powerful enemies to defeat.
The Way of Winter is the largest and most content-rich scenario update since the launch of Once Human, featuring a core focus on hardcore multiplayer survival in the polar north. This adventure takes place on a brand-new map set in the far reaches of Nalcott. In this land, players can befriend new Deviations, team up with larger squads of friends to explore the environment, battle mighty Deviants, and challenge the savage Vultures faction that dominates the region.
This brand-new scenario format involves four main playing stages (over 35 days) and the season break (28 days). Here’s the exciting new content you can expect to see in The Way of Winter:
Once Human Introduces New Survival Mechanic – Temperature
The north of Nalcott is home to a new threat that players will have to face to conquer the tundra: temperature. On top of sanity, energy, hydration, and stamina, you’ll need to prepare for freezing cold and blazing hot climates.
The temperature in Once Human is determined by various factors, such as location, time of day, and the weather. The environment will have varying heat and cold, such as lava flow being hot. At the same time, items the player can hold can also influence the temperature, such as a torch or Molotov cocktail.
To prepare for the harsh climate, players must craft heat- and cold-resistant gear to survive. This can involve making clothing from the thick fur of slain enemies or cooking unique spicy dishes made in the north. Those who don’t prepare properly will see their movement restricted and their character falling ill from the extreme weather.
The north is home to unique crops for players to grow, including Spikematoes, Polar Peppers, and Sunny Ginger. Cooking these plants will be vital for helping you during long expeditions, as their warmth will stave off the cold.
Co-Op players can survive longer with the new Thermal Tower building!
The frozen north is one of the most challenging locations ever introduced to Once Human. As such, teaming up with friends to explore strongholds and scavenge resources will drastically increase your chances of survival. Not only that, but The Way of Winter introduces even larger squad sizes, allowing even more allies to join your adventures.
One key aspect of survival in The Way of the Winter involves a new building: the Thermal Tower. This crucial structure grants various bonuses to the territory you build around it, providing buffs and letting you control the temperature. These can speed up your production facilities and increase crop yield.
Protecting your Thermal Towers will be a crucial goal for you and your allies, as colossal Chaosweavers will appear and attack them, leading to epic confrontations with these titans as you rush to protect your heat source.
Massive Map & Monster Updates in The Way of Winter
The Way of Winter will introduce a whole new map for players to explore, with the ability to select from different starting points. From here, players can explore the snow-covered land to travel to Ember Strand, visiting new strongholds, such as Frost Forge, Fire Throat Sanctum, and Fort Obsidian, all filled with new mysteries, powerful enemies, and exciting treasures waiting to be discovered!
Naturally, the environment isn’t the only enemy Once Human players will face in The Way of Winter. The extreme temperatures have altered the Deviants and living machines that roam the northern wilderness, including the Rime Frosts, red-hot Crucibles, and a new Treant enemy. Players can also face a brand-new boss monster: The Secret Servitor.
Some monsters in the frozen lands can even work as allies for the players. The Way of Winter’s new Deviations have powers that match the environment, with Snowsprites generating razor-sharp ice crystals in battle, while Ice Pots create ice cubes for players to use. There are also Invincible Suns, who can deal Blaze damage to targets with their flames.
Monsters aren’t the only threat in The Way of Winter, thanks to the villainous army, The Vultures, led by the mysterious Igna, who seek to control the living machines. To stop Igna’s plans, you’ll have to attack the Vulture’s lands, find the Black Sector dungeon, and defeat the terrifying foes within.
The Way of Winter’s New Scenario Rewards
Those who log in to Once Human during the The Way of Winter scenario on October 17 can complete daily sign-up quests to earn exclusive cosmetic rewards that will help you look the part. These include the Strawberry Wool Hat, Smiling Sponge Vest, Smiling Pumpkin Lantern, Shattered Maiden – Wandering Witch, and Buzzy Bee – Pumpkin Lantern.
Limited-time Halloween rewards are also available for those watching Once Human’s Twitch category’s live stream for a cumulative 6 hours. These include the Weapon Charm: Kitty’s Hat-Trick, Dark Pumpkin Lantern, Wilderness Outlaw Hood, and Cervitaur Terror Headwear.
Once Human is Now Available in New Languages!
Finally, Once Human is reaching an even wider audience, the game now supports Russian, Portuguese (Brazil), and Spanish (Latin-America) languages. These can be switched at any time in the game’s menu.
The Way of Winter is a massive update for Once Human, introducing new threats to face and treasures to uncover. The mysteries of Once Human’s world are slowly being revealed, with more challenging gameplay and more ways to tame the wilderness. Follow the Once Human social media pages to keep up to date with the game’s ever-evolving world.
