Fire up the Turtle Van and grab a slice, because Super Evil Megacorp and Paramount Game Studios have just unleashed TMNT: Splintered Fate – The King’s Gambit!

The hit action roguelike has received Version 2.0—its biggest free content update to date—alongside exciting new paid DLC. Serving as the grand culmination of the main campaign, The King’s Gambit challenges players to hone their ninja reflexes, team up in chaotic co-op runs, and take on the ultimate threat lurking in the sewers of New York City.

Here is everything you need to know about the massive new update now available across PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Apple Arcade.

The Rat King Steps Into the Shadows

While the Turtles have spent countless runs battling Shredder and the Foot Clan to rescue Master Splinter, a far more terrifying endgame boss has taken centre stage: The Rat King.

This fight isn’t for greenhorns. The encounter only unlocks once you’ve proven your mettle by beating Shredder multiple times and successfully rescuing Master Splinter.

Once you face the Rat King, prepare for a gruelling test of skill:

• Fear & Swarm Tactics: He overpowers foes using psychological fear mechanics and aggressive rat swarms.
• Boss Summons: In an intimidating display of power, the Rat King can summon other defeated bosses to fight by his side during the battle.
• The Final Chapter: Overcoming this ultimate endgame threat unlocks the official final ending to the Splintered Fate storyline.

Slash Joins the Roster

Alongside the free update, players can pick up the new paid Slash Character DLC. Defeating Leatherhead lets you recruit this fan-favourite brute ally to the playable lineup, bringing the total hero roster to eight!

• Raw Power over Speed: Slash trades quickness for sheer physical fortitude, utilising massive claws, body slams, and heavy knockback abilities to control crowd movement.
• Enraged Mode: Activating his Enraged state gives Slash a temporary surge of speed and massive bonus damage.
• Dark Damage Tool: Unleash a meteor-like strike that devastates packed groups of Foot Clan ninjas.

Samurai Armour & The Platinum Bundle

Want to slay mutated baddies in style? The update introduces a fresh paid Samurai Armour Pack, giving the original four brothers (and DLC fighters) an intimidating warrior makeover inspired by feudal legend.

For players looking to snag every single piece of content released so far, the developers have also launched the Platinum Bundle. This all-in-one package includes:

• The base game and all free story chapters.
• Playable heroes: Slash, Casey Jones, Metalhead, and Alopex.
• All cosmetic sets, including the brand-new Samurai Armour.

A Cute New Companion in the Lair

It’s not all life-or-death battles in the sewers! The free update also introduces Pepperoni the Dinosaur as a friendly new pet in the Home Lair. She provides a wholesome counterpoint to the intense roguelike runs—just make sure you keep an eye on your pizza stash when she’s around.

Ready to Save NYC?

Whether you’re diving in solo or gathering your squad for bodacious co-op action across NYC’s iconic locales, TMNT: Splintered Fate – The King’s Gambit offers the ultimate Turtles roguelike experience.
