Normally seen on the sidelines, intrepid reporter and friend to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, April O'Neil will be playable in the upcoming brawler Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge! The news was announced by publisher Dotemu during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2021, who also released a new trailer for the highly-anticipated new TMNT video game, set to be released on PC, Nintendo Switch and consoles in 2022.
The trailer shows off gameplay of April, who, as a playable character, can swing her bag and keep up with the turtle crew, making her a valuable part of the team. Further, players can look forward to being revived with a slice of pizza from their friends. One of the coolest moves April has is a mic drop.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge will feature April O’Neil, star reporter and beloved ally to the heroes in a half shell, as a playable fighter when the game launches on Nintendo Switch and PC in 2022.
April unleashes flurries of hits against the Foot Clan’s devious soldiers. Her agility and far-reaching slide kicks help her close in on targets quickly, and she once again proves the turtles can rely on her unwavering support, even through slices of pizza.
