Briefly: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is looking pretty awesome at this point, and today we learned just when we’ll be able to play it.

Microsoft’s Major Nelson has announced the official release date for the Xbox version of the title. The game will be available for download on August 28th, and will cost you a cool 1200 Microsoft Points (~$15). The PS3 and Steam versions of the title are expected to release around the same date.

I’m actually really excited for the game to come out. It’s been too many years since we’ve played a decent Turtles game, and from the trailers that we’ve seen so far, Out of the Shadows looks to feature some fantastic gameplay. Let us know if you’re planning to download when it hits the console of your choice!

I’ll be damned. This game looks to be coming together very nicely.

Viacom has unveiled a new character trailer for the upcoming downloadable title, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. The game is set to release for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC in August, and is based on the original Turtles comics, rather than any of the recent television adaptations.

The game looks much darker than any of the mediocre Turtles’ games from the past few years, and the gameplay looks very solid. Arguably, we haven’t had a great TMNT game since the Super Nintendo days, so Out of the Shadows could be a welcome change to that trend.

Take a look at Leondardo’s trailer below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the game!

Just a few weeks ago, Activision announced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. The reveal trailer for the game looked good enough, but didn’t really give us a sense of what gameplay would look like.

 

Today, IGN revealed the first gameplay footage from the game, and while early (like pre-alpha early), TMNT: Out of the Shadows looks pretty damn cool.

 

Watch the gameplay footage below, and let us know what you think! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is set to release this Summer as a downloadable title for Xbox 360 and PS3.
