When Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate arrived on Switch last month, we were seriously impressed by the game. Super Evil Megacorp has created an exciting and addictive roguelite featuring everyone's favorite teenage turtles. Splintered Fate features 4-player local and online co-op, but there's a catch: it has no matchmaking! That makes it tough to find people to splinter your fate with. Thankfully, the developer recently released a roadmap that promises matchmaking and more cool features for the future.
The development roadmap is featured in a blog post on Super Evil Megacorp's website. It promises the following:
- Steam version (already announced for later this year)
- Steam Deck verified
- Steam Achievements
- New features
- Online matchmaking
- Challenges
- Leaderboards
- Downloadable content
- New playable characters
- New levels, enemies, and bosses
- New, original TMNT stories
- and more
- "Further console expansions"
The timetable for these releases and improvements is "2024/2025," so some of them could still be a long way off. We know the Steam version is coming in 2024, and that I am psyched for it. Matchmaking would seem to be coming after the Steam release, though I'm hoping it might arrive at the same time. The DLC will add "one of the Turtles' close allies" as a playable character, which could possibly be Casey Jones or April O'Neil. And the "further console expansions" phrasing seems to mean that Splintered Fate will arrive on Xbox and PlayStation, likely in 2025.
Oh, and the Apple Arcade version of the game will be getting cross-play with the Switch version "very soon."
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate costs $29.99 on Switch. Check out co-op impressions for lots of bodacious details.
