Why PlatinumGames is making The Last Ronin
PlatinumGames was announced as the developer during the Summer Game Fest showcase. Dan Prigg, executive vice president and head of games at Paramount, said the studio had shown interest in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles property before Paramount and Skydance completed their merger in August 2025.
Prigg described PlatinumGames as a major fan of the franchise. After the merger, the teams discussed the studio’s ideas for the game and considered how the project could fit Paramount’s plans. He said the excitement was mutual, and that the new structure made it possible to assess the proposal and build support for it within the company.
For players, the developer’s enthusiasm offers some context for the collaboration, but it does not confirm specific gameplay features. No release date or platform information was included in the announcement described here, so those details remain unconfirmed.
Paramount Games Studio’s new structure
Paramount Games Studio has been reorganized following the Paramount-Skydance merger, finalized in August 2025. The business previously operated under different forms and worked on licensed projects, including a SpongeBob SquarePants activation for Roblox.
Prigg, formerly head of Skydance Interactive, now leads games at Paramount. The studio is also the new home of Skydance Interactive and Skydance New Media. Its work includes continuing development on the previously announced Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra and an untitled Star Wars game.
What the partnership means for The Last Ronin
Paramount plans to develop games based on its intellectual property both within its own organization and with external developers such as PlatinumGames. Prigg said the company is looking for studios that combine strong development capabilities with genuine interest in the properties they adapt.
That approach helps explain why PlatinumGames was selected for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin. The collaboration brings together a developer interested in the franchise and a publisher looking to expand its games lineup. Further project details and additional Paramount Games Studio announcements are expected, but the announcement did not provide a schedule for them.
What to watch for next
- Release date and platforms: These have not been confirmed in the information announced so far.
- Gameplay and story details: Specific features were not outlined as part of the developer announcement.
- More studio projects: Paramount Games Studio says further announcements are expected.
For now, the key confirmed detail is that PlatinumGames is developing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin for Paramount Games Studio. Players interested in the project should look for official updates before drawing conclusions about its release timing, platforms, or gameplay.
