Turtles aside, Splinter and Shredder are perhaps the most iconic characters in the TMNT series, but that doesn't matter to developer Strange Scaffold as they do away with them in the prologue to their upcoming turn-based strategy game.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown is a turn-based beat-em-up featuring the titular reptiles being developed by Strange Scaffold, an indie team behind the release of several recent gems like El Paso, Elsewhere and I Am Your Beast. In a video posted to Twitter, the game's creative director Xalavier Nelson Jr. excitedly spoke about the game, and more specifically, about what would happen to Splinter and Shredder.
