Ever since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge was announced, fans around the world have been wondering, “What about Casey Jones?”. We can now reveal that the keeper-masked criminal will slash and rampage across New York starting June 16th!
Casey Jones is available as an unlocked playable character for you and five other friends.
That’s right, for the first time 6 players can join True Race!
Casey Jones joins the lineup
Since Shredder’s Revenge is a true blue beat game, it’s inconceivable for us to work on this game without bringing along New York’s premier sports-themed bodyguards.
Although sports runner-up was mostly absent from the 1987 animated series, Casey is one of the Turtles’ most memorable allies, beloved by fans of all incarnations.
It’s a real honor to bring Casey Jones ’87 into the 2020s!
Always ready for criminal attacks, Casey carries a sports bag full of tricks, giving him a variety of attacks. “He may be slower than other fighters, but with a stick and a stick that gives him not only more attack, but also range and power,” says Fred Gemus, the designer of the game Shredder’s Revenge.
Like a good lover, Casey Jones enters the game, ready to injure his opponent!
Casey Jones’ first concept sketch with his arsenal
Whether it’s on the street, in the field or on the ice, Casey Jones is ready for action!
Casey animation supervisor Mathieu Godet tells us: “We quickly came up with the idea of Casey’s almost ‘magic’ golf bag, where he could tow any sports equipment, whether it’s a club, a metal baseball bat or a hockey stick.”
2D animator Aaron Manzano explains: “At first, Casey’s mask posed a challenge to his expression, so we had to make him more expressive in his gestures. and I feel we did a great job of it! We also wanted him to feel heavier and stronger than the Tortoise, without sacrificing his athletic agility. “
Godet added: “We also thought that, like Raphael, Casey would also borrow a few moves from professional wrestling. We gave him an elbow drop when the other characters did a dive kick. “
Whether it’s a hit or a finishing elbow, the crusader at the top of the crop will fight as if there were no referees watching!
It is important for the unlimited intensity of the character to initiate his sport moves. Casey gives her all!
Mathieu Godet adds, “Since he’s from New York City, we even gave him some of the colors of his hometown as he did his super slam dunk.”
6 shell-tastic
The multiplayer factor is always a very special part of playing TMNT.
Game designer Fred Gemus asserts that the six-player experience was planned from the start: “We wanted to get as many people involved as possible.
Every aspect of the game, from scaling to character sizes and levels has been designed to support that decision. “Once you and your friends start using different team moves and Ninja Power attacks, there’s no doubt half-shell heroes and their teammates will win the day. !
Shredder’s Revenge will be playable with up to four players locally and six players online. For online multiplayer, each player will need their own console and version of the game to play.
As soon as you beat the game for the first time, the masked squire leaves the bench and joins Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo, Master Splinter and April O’Neil.
We’re excited to bring this beloved duel and look forward to fans unleashing their own kind of sporting chaos on Foot Clan when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge releases on June 16 on PlayStation 4.
