MIA action-adventure Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin resurfaces in the hands of noted katana enthusiasts Platinum Games

Platinum Games, the game development studio that evidently are to edged weapon action games what Marks & Spencer are to inoffensive socks, are making a TMNT game. It’s called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, it’s being published by Paramount Games Studio, and it’s just been announced as part of Summer Game Fest 2026.

Keener fans of pizza-gnawing reptiles will remember that there was already a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin game in development at Destroy All Humans! remake studio Black Forest Games, to be published by THQ Nordic. Unfortunately, it seems that mass layoffs at the former have taken their toll, and Paramount – TMNT’s rights holders – have asked Platinum to have a go instead. Here’s the teaser trailer for the new version, which doesn’t show much, except that it's likely a close adaptation of the (unusually grim) Turtles comic of the same name.

Lexispell is Balatro for people that love spelling bees and hate gambling

Game gets popular, games gets clones, that's just how the cookie crumbles. Vampire Survivors, Buckshot Roulette, Lethal Company; as soon as those games blew up, derivatives were a guarantee. This is true of Balatro too of course, a game which has produced so many clones that wildly swing between dealing with gambling in a tactful manner and outright just saying that it's good, actually. So how about a Balatro-like that forgoes the gambling, and asks you to whip out a dictionary instead?

Rust's latest update asks you to say goodbye to your old outdated face and hello to your new, handsome one

It's time to say hello to your new face! This would be a creepy as all hell a sentence in just about any other context (perhaps it still is), but I am not a plastic surgeon, I am a person that writes about video games and the things they do. This time, in things that video games are doing, is brought to you by Rust, as it's received an update that gives the player character model a bit of a glow-up.

007 First Light sequels will be helmed "by MGM and, theoretically, by Amazon Game Studios", as the corp look to be taking more direct control over his Bondliness

007 First Light, James Bond's freshly released spying sojourn to various exotic and dangerous locales, is a thoroughly enjoyable action romp. Naturally, the fact that was my verdict when reviewing it means I'm keen to see developers IO Interactive get a crack at doing a sequel, possibly after returning to their bread and butter with Hitman for a bit. However, whether they will or not looks to have been left a bit up in the air for now, with an Amazon Game Studios exec having confirmed that IO won't be self-publishing any Bond follow-ups.

Forza Horizon 6 gets customisable interiors thanks to a modder who couldn't resist swapping the seats of their beemer

Forza Horizon 6's car customisation, while packing plenty of under-the-hood tweaks and a decent amount of bodykits, isn't as in-depth as the likes of the Need For Speed series usually offer. The inability to mess around with your ride's interior is one of the most noticeable omissions, to the extent it's an area newly-announced racer Clutch is looking to get a leg up on Playground's juggernaut in. In the meantime, a Forza modder's managed to get some basic interior customision up and running on one of Horizon 6's ten million motors.
