Cowabunga, Shellheads!

We’re back with even more goodies for TMNT: Splintered Fate! First off, a massive, shell-sized thank you for trusting and supporting us throughout 2026. This year has been an absolute whirlwind with the launches of King’s Gambit, the Alopex DLC, and the Slash DLC. But we aren't pulling the brakes just yet: we’re dropping a fresh wave of free and premium content, available RIGHT NOW!

Here is a look at what just landed in the sewers:


TRENCH COAT PACK (Premium DLC)

You all loved the Samurai Armor Pack, so we went straight into the lore vault for another legendary fan favorite. Trench coats for everyone, including our DLC characters!

THE SHELL SQUAD CO-OP UPDATE (Free for All Players)

Sharing is caring! Whether you're running local couch co-op or matching up with internet friends or strangers, every co-op session now unlocks exclusive, co-op-specific powers and tools. These are designed to enhance teamwork and collaboration, sometimes on the fly! Here is a list of all the additions in this big update:

24x new co-op powers (3 per power tree). Examples:
- Passing the Torch - The first player you touch while affected by Rapid Fire also gains its effects, for as long as you have Rapid Fire active.
- Shared Warmth - When a player consumes a Splinter's Revive, heal all players.
- Chain Reaction - Players' Specials have a chance to trigger a Chain Lightning, dealing Utrom damage per link.

8x new co-op tools (1 per power tree). Examples:
- Bubble Trouble - Spawn a bubble on you and the farthest player. The bubble deals Water damage and Freezes enemies, and grants bonus Water damage to players.
- Tether Beam - Tether to the closest player. Enemies caught in the beam will take Utrom damage every second.
- Shadow Pact - Grant yourself and the closest player a Dark Shell. Each enemy defeated extends it.

8x new co-op masteries (1 per character). Examples:
- Donatello - When using your Tool, the closest player becomes invulnerable.
- Raphael - When any player lands a critical hit, they have a chance to Multi-crit instead.
- Michelangelo - When using your Special, you and the closest player gain a Torrent Strike stack.
- Leonardo - When activating your Special, the closest player gains Light Shell.

We also have a few other surprises:

- Improved flame visuals
- Character swapping in Online Multiplayer and Couch Co-op matches
- Improved Lucky Dice communication

Patch Notes – Shell Squad Co-Op Update

November 10, 2026

Hey, Turtle Fans!

The Shell Squad Co-Op Update is live! For the full overview of what’s new, including the Trench Coat Pack and the new co-op powers, tools, and masteries, check out our announcement post. Below you’ll find the complete 2.1.0 patch notes with every new addition, gameplay update, and bug fix in detail. Thank you for all your feedback and support, and enjoy the update!

New Features

In 2.1.0, we have added support for a brand new skin set– Trench Coat Pack! These are available on all platforms, and once owned can be found in the Character Select screen. Enjoy your new disguises!

We also took this opportunity to add a small quality of life feature we have wanted for a long time– the ability to change your character (and skin!) to any available one from the Home Lair character swap station in Online Multiplayer and Couch Co-op. Stay connected with your teammates while updating your character in between runs. 

We have also added new powers, tools, and masteries focused on deeper co-op gameplay. These can only be found in our Online Multiplayer and Couch Co-op modes, and they work across the original campaign, Arcade Mode, and Rat King. We have had a tremendous amount of fun playing with them, and we hope you do too.

To facilitate these changes, we have another fun update:

There is now a “Tool Pack” as an option when selecting a Room Reward and in the Shop. This will expand into a secondary screen with Tool options to choose from, similar to how Power rewards work.

Lucky Dice have become more and more important to gameplay as we added Arcade Mode and the Rat King’s Realm. To that end, we have improved the communication around them so that newer players can more easily understand and benefit from them.

  • You can now see when Lucky Dice are earned with a small display in the HUD
  • Sold out options in the Shop now show a “Use Lucky Dice to reroll” state
  • Visual appearance of using Lucky Dice has been updated to more clearly reflect what they do

Other Updates

  • Flame VFX across the board have had a revamp on their appearance to improve their visual quality.
  • Clicking the character portraits on the HUD no longer opens run details.
    • Run Details can still be opened on keyboard/mouse by pressing Tab, or opening the escape menu and selecting “Run Details”
  • The AFK kick timer has been increased from 5 minutes to 10 minutes.

Bugs fixed:

  • Gigi hit the gym again and her health for normal and gauntlet versions in the campaign are no longer drastically lower than intended.
  • The host’s narrative state is no longer overriding the guest’s narrative state in online multiplayer.
    • This should prevent issues where conversations that the guest had already triggered in solo or while hosting a game would re-trigger after being in a game where the host had not triggered those conversations.
    • A side effect of this, however, is that if you see a conversation for the first time as a guest in online multiplayer, that conversation can still trigger when playing solo or hosting a game when the criteria is met.
    • This change should also fix players who are currently stuck unable to complete Alopex’s narratives.
  • The Polar Bear Netsuke artifact should no longer end up in a state where it cannot be unlocked. Players already in this state should now be able to retrigger the narratives between Alopex and Karai to unlock the artifact.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred in couch co-op when all characters except one were set to an unowned skin before selecting that one character.
  • The Junkinator is no longer being stingy and now has a chance to grant lucky dice if the ‘Lucky Spoils’ dreamer upgrade has been purchased.
  • Users should no longer be incorrectly sent to the tutorial version of the home lair whenever they start a new run if they skipped the tutorial at specific points.
  • Characters should no longer be spawning in a pile in Arcade Mode or Rat King challenges in online mp or couch co-op
  • Having the Clan Hamato Seal equipped when starting or joining a Gauntlet Rat King challenge no longer consumes the revive provided by the artifact.
  • Revival Astral Power should no longer incorrectly appear as level 2
  • Drone tools are no longer erroneously being locked behind Metalhead DLC ownership.
  • The Tempered Shuriken legendary power should now also apply to the Kunai tool.
  • Confidence is now properly granted when defeating the Giant Rat King fight without taking damage if the Confidence Dragon upgrade has been purchased.
  • Players should no longer be able to transition to Karai’s Ship mid-conversation, which should reduce the likelihood of it spawning the invulnerable totem boss instead of Karai.
  • Mouse clicks should no longer cause controller players to attack towards that location in couch co-op.
  • Several client and server crash fixes that could occur under very specific circumstances.
