DotEmu
DotEmu is a developer with a lengthy history of games. Founded in 2007, they’ve worked on over 80 different games. From porting classic Final Fantasy‘s to helping publish entries in the Ys series, they’ve done quite a bit. Their most notable recent entry in gaming was their work on 2020’s Streets of Rage 4. The game was a return to arcade-style beat-em-ups that breathed some new life in the classic genre. Lucky for us, their upcoming TMNT game is in a similar arcade-beat-em-up style and seems to be just as fun.
Tribute Games
Tribute Games is a developer that’s been releasing indie games for nearly a decade. Their previous work includes Mercenary Kings, Curses ‘N Chaos, and Wizorb. The company was founded by three ex-Ubisoft employees, Jean-Francois Major, Justin Cyr, and Jonathan Lavigne. During their time at Ubisoft, they worked on Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game as well as the GBA title TMNT. As you can read in our review right here, Scott Pilgrim is one of the most beloved beat-em-ups of the past ten years so if Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is anything like that, it’s almost guaranteed to be a hit.
