Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is a 2013 downloadable video game developed by Red Fly Studio and published by Activision based on the ongoing Nickelodeon animated television series of the same name. The game was released on August 28, 2013 for Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows (via Steam). The game features a four-player online mode and offline two-player co-op.
As of September 2013, the Online Co-op for the Windows version is suffering from major technical difficulties. The PlayStation 3 version was delayed, the reason being was to polish the game more before release and to likely address issues from the Xbox 360 and Steam versions of the game. On April 1, 2014, It was announced by Red Fly Studio that the PS3 version would be released on April 15 on the PlayStation Store. The PS3 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.
The Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game were received generally negative by critics, and the Xbox 360 version holds a score of 38/100 on Metacritic. Game Informer gave the game a 2/10, calling it "terrible in every way". The PlayStation 3 version of the game was awarded a disappointing score of a 4/10 by PushSquare.
IGN was slightly more positive, as it gave the game a 6.1/10, while praising for its video within the TMNT series and its arcade mode.
The game was pulled from all digital stores on January 2017 as Activision chose not to renew the license.
