TMNT Empire City VR Adventure throws players onto NYC’s rooftops—literally. Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael star in this first-person, shell-kicking adventure on Meta Quest and Steam VR. Each Turtle brings their own combat flair, from Donatello’s long-reach bo staff to Michelangelo’s nunchaku chaos. Expect stealth moves, parkour, and banter that could almost make you forget you’re fighting crime. It’s gritty, a bit goofy, and packed with teamwork—curious what happens when the Turtles work together?
Even in a city as wild as New York, it seems the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles just can’t catch a break—now they’ve leapt head-first into VR with TMNT Empire City VR Adventure, the franchise’s first virtual reality outing. This game, developed by Cortopia Studios—yes, the team behind Gorn 2’s chaotic melee antics—takes the Turtles from the sewers to the skyscrapers, now in full, dizzying VR.
Set for release in 2026 on Meta Quest and Steam VR, it brings the four heroes in a half shell to a space where pizza and parkour are likely just a headset away. Players can wishlist the game on the Meta Quest Store and Steam VR, ensuring they don’t miss any updates for this highly anticipated adventure.
Players can suit up as Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, or Raphael, each offering their own playstyle quirks. Donatello, for example, might not last long in a brawl, but his bo staff keeps trouble at bay from a distance—always a plus when your enemies don’t believe in personal space.
Suit up as your favorite Turtle, each with unique fighting styles—Donatello’s bo staff is perfect for keeping foes at arm’s length.
Every Turtle wields their famous weapon and unique stats, letting fans finally answer the age-old question: who actually pulls their weight in a fight? The gameplay style is first-person action adventure, letting you see the world through your favorite Turtle’s eyes as you battle the Foot Clan.
Combat leans heavily into VR’s strengths, offering precision strikes, stealth takedowns, and the chance to dash or leap through city rooftops. If things get hairy, there are shurikens and smoke bombs—because nothing says “ninjas” like vanishing in a puff of smoke.
The game’s narrative, crafted with help from TMNT comic veteran Tom Waltz, keeps the theme on brotherhood and teamwork, so expect plenty of group banter and heartfelt moments between missions.
Notably, TMNT Empire City supports up to four-player co-op, so you and your friends can team up, argue over pizza, and strategize who gets to be the leader (good luck with that). Unlike many modern titles, this TMNT adventure avoids the live service model, focusing on delivering a complete experience rather than continuous monetization.
The Turtles’ lair is fully explorable—yes, you can poke around their rooms—while the NYC environment is packed with parkour routes and interactive spots for stealthy brawls.
Visually, the game aims for gritty realism with just enough cartoonish flair to remind you these are, after all, mutant turtles.
No firm release date yet, but the anticipation is real—just don’t expect the Foot Clan to wait politely.
