TMNT: Empire City launches April 30, 2026 on Meta Quest, Steam VR, and Pico for $24.99, offering a full-body VR experience with co-op narration.

A new VR TMNT title centers on player bonds and personal choices under Karai’s leadership, rather than a fixed single narrative.

It is billed as the first standalone VR TMNT game, with narrative shaped by the player’s relationships within the TMNT world and guided by Karai.

Early hands-on previews from Game Informer, Comicbook.com, UploadVR, and IGN have praised the game ahead of release.

Key figures include Ace St. Germain, CEO of Beyond Frames Entertainment and Creative Director at Empire City, and TMNT artist Dan Duncan, who contributed Karai artwork.

The game is a co-op VR title from Cortopia Studios and Beyond Frames Entertainment, available on Quest, PC VR, and Pico headsets.

A public PC VR demo at Steam Next Fest showcased hands-on impressions that praised the Turtles’ aesthetic and teased deeper combat beyond the initial preview.

Visually, the game uses a cel-shaded, comic-book style and features a narrative-driven VR beat ’em up with melee-focused mechanics like timing attacks, parries, blocks, and evasion.

Development notes highlight Karai’s pivotal role, with collaboration from TMNT writer Tom Waltz to explore her place in the story.

The press materials include a trailer, press kit, social channels, and contact info for media inquiries.

Players can team up with up to three allies in a campaign that follows Karai after Shredder’s fall, shaping leadership dynamics through in-world choices.

The experience supports full-body immersion with co-op options and allows playing as a Turtle through the narrative campaign.
