Empire City Reveals Initial Parkour Gameplay on Quest 3

Hey, so there’s this new game thing—Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City. They just dropped this kinda early sneak peek of how you, uh, run around and do parkour stuff on Quest 3.

If you haven’t heard of it (where have you been?), it’s by Cortopia Studios. You can play it alone or with three friends. Ace St. Germain, their creative head honcho, spilled a bit about how they’re gelling this parkour stuff. And oh man, the way he tells it, one time, he got launched like a missile from a mailbox to a lamppost because of some bug. I laughed just picturing that—totally nuts!

But don’t think it’s like real-life parkour. Nah, they’ve made it feel more Ninja Turtle-y. You’re kind of… auto-tuned? Is that the right word? Anyway, you’ll be sprinting, jumping, climbing—you name it, you’re doing it.

Imagine flinging yourself all over Empire City, hoping to stick those landings from streetlamps to parked cars. And those Ninja tools? We gotta wait to hear more on those. Tease!

If you’ve played Ghost of Tsushima, you kinda get the vibe. You get to pick one of the turtle brothers—Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo. Choose wisely, my friend. This is the second little diary thing they’ve let out. Last month, they showed off some art, which was pretty rad.

Circle your calendar for 2026—I know, that’s ages away—but that’s when it’s dropping on Quest and Steam. Gonna be wild!
