Ninja Turtles display at Toy Fair 2012 lists game publisher as a cross-promotional licensor for new cartoon series.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back with a new cartoon, new toys, and apparently a new game from Activision.
The news stems from a series of pictures on ToyArk documenting the Playmates Toys booth at the recently wrapped 2012 Toy Fair in impressive detail. Among the pictured items is a sign detailing Playmates’ marketing plans for the toy line, including “Cross promotions with key licensees, including [comic publisher] IDW and Activision.” IDW announced its deal to make new TMNT comics last year, but Activision has yet to confirm a game featuring the foursome.
Activision would be the third gaming publisher to try its hand at a Ninja Turtles game. Konami was the brand’s first and longest-running publishing partner, with a string of games lasting from the Turtles’ NES and arcade games of 1989 through 2005’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare. Ubisoft took over the franchise in 2007, starting with tie-ins for the computer-animated feature film TMNT, and it produced a handful of titles during the following two years.
As of press time, an Activision representative had not responded to GameSpot’s request for comment.
