Donatello schools some goons in the latest Out of the Shadows trailer

With the launch of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows fast approaching, publisher Activision is continuing to release gameplay montages starring our heroes in a half-shell. With fun-loving foodie Michelangelo and hot-headed Raphael covered, it’s Donatello’s time to shine in his very own. 

Renowned for being the scholarly, contemplative member of Splinter’s awesome foursome, Donatello’s fighting style is slow, methodical and considered. By keeping opponents at a distance with the aid of a trusty bo staff, he can deliver knockout blows without the need for close-quarters fisticuffs. Should anyone get close enough to deal damage, however, his aptitude for reading combat situations quickly enables him to counter enemy advances with ease.

An engineer and tinkerer at heart, Donnie also has some game-changing technologies at his disposal. One example is the Gravity Gauntlet, an invention that lets him bend the laws of science and send foes skyward – leaving them open to some devastating juggles and aerial combos. He is able to hack computers and security systems too, which will no doubt come in handy.

Developed by Red Fly Studio, this highly anticipated TMNT title will arrive on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC this summer, but not before Leonardo steps out of the shadows…
