TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge is adding a great playable guest character: Usagi Yojimbo

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge expands later this year with a new playable character – Stan Sakai’s ronin rabbit Usagi Miyamoto from Usagi Yojimbo fame – and interdimensional travel. Usagi and other new additions Shredder’s Revenge will arrive as part of the Shell shock size DLC in 2023, publisher Dotemu and developer Tribute Games announced on Wednesday.

A teaser trailer for TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge – Dimension Shellshock Shows off a new arcade-style beat-’em-up gameplay mode where the turtles take on waves of foot soldiers and evil machines in self-contained survival-style rooms. There are also new color palettes for the turtles, if you want Donny, Mike, Raph and Leo to look a bit more old-fashioned.

But the great attraction Shell shock size is Usagi, the hairy, steely samurai who has previously crossed over with the Ninja Turtles in comic book, animation, and action figure form. Since Usagi’s Edo era in Japanese history, Tribute Games opens up a series of time-spanning portals that will take the rabbit to modern New York City – and the turtles to ancient Japan.

Especially the trailer in front Shell shock size says the DLC – plural – will feature new playable characters, though only Usagi has been confirmed. There are a few unidentified background characters in shots, including what could be a version of Kitsune Usagi Yojimbo and a member of the Hamato clan surrounded by some rats.

TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge‘s Shell shock size DLC will be released later this year for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC and Xbox One. Pricing for the add-on has not been disclosed.
