Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is a 2022 beat 'em up game developed by Tribute Games and published by Dotemu. It is inspired by and based on the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series and borrows stylistically from the arcade and home console Turtles games developed by Konami during the 1980s and 1990s. The story follows the Turtles as they set out to stop Shredder and Krang from taking over New York City, whilst facing foes that stand in their way.
Nickelodeon approached Dotemu following the release of Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap (2017) about the possibility of developing a video game adaptation of one of its franchises. Knowing that Tribute Games had been pitching a Turtles game to Nickelodeon since 2010, the two companies decided to work together. The Turtles voice actors from the 1987 series reprise their roles. The music was composed by Tee Lopes, with contributions from guitarist Jonny Atma, rappers Mega Ran, Ghostface Killah, and Raekwon, and singer Mike Patton.
Shredder's Revenge was released for Windows, Linux, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on June 16, 2022, and for PlayStation 5 on November 15, 2022. The game received critical acclaim, with reviewers praising the pixel-based visual style, playable character roster and combat mechanics, while criticism was directed at audio quality issues and the short length of the story mode. The game was also a commercial success, selling one million copies within a week of release. A downloadable expansion, Dimension Shellshock, released on August 31, 2023.
