The Ninja Turtles are back and they're sending us back in time as well! The Cowabunga Collection is here, and here are all of the information you need to know about the game including its release date, gameplay, and story.

TMNT The Cowabunga Collection Release Date: August 30, 2022

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection will be coming out on August 30, 2022, on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and the Nintendo Switch. The game also has a physical collector's edition that comes with a collector's box, a cloth poster, an acrylic diorama, an enamel pin set, trading cards, and a full-color artbook.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is – you guessed it – a collection of 13 old-school Ninja Turtles arcade and console games. Hence, the story for each game is different, but mostly the gameplay stays the same. You pick a turtle, sometimes with a friend in tow, and you go to town beating up baddies in the streets of New York. Don't forget to pick up the pizza and throw the occasional manhole cover – there appears to be a lot of that in these games!

The Cowabunga Collection compiles the following games into one neat collection:

TMNT The Cowabunga Collection Features

  • Save Anytime and Rewind

Unfortunately, pre-ordering the game does not net you any additional goodies. If you want any, go for the collector's edition instead.
