Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is a 2013 hack and slash video game developed by Red Fly Studio[1] and published by Activision based on the Mirage Studios characters of the same name.
The game was released on August 28, 2013 for Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows.[1] The game features a four-player online mode and offline two-player co-op.[3][4] The PlayStation 3 version was delayed, to polish the game more before release and to address issues from the Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows versions of the game. On April 1, 2014, it was announced by Red Fly Studio that the PlayStation 3 version would be released on April 15.[2] The PlayStation 3 release featured a very identical version of the game, with hardly any of the aforementioned issues addressed, despite Red Fly Studio's promise to present an experience polished to the highest of levels.

Reception

The PlayStation 3 version of the game was awarded a disappointing score of a 4/10 by Push Square.

The game was pulled from all digital stores in January 2017 as Activision chose not to renew the license.
