Plarium is running a new licensing collaboration with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles within their RAID: Shadow Legends role-playing game.
Launched in partnership with Paramount Consumer Products, the collaboration has brought licensed characters from the TMNT franchise to the game as playable Legendary Champions.
The characters featured in the collaboration include Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, Raphael, April O’Neil and their nemesis Shredder.
Running from August 21 until November 13, the partnership allows RAID players to unlock Michelangelo through a 14-day loyalty login program.
Players must log into RAID: Shadow Legends on seven different days before November 13 to add the character to their roster of Champions.
Players can obtain the other Champions through a variety of in-game activities such as tournaments, leader-boards, community events, summoning shards and more.
All TMNT Champions obtained during the crossover event are permanently added to a player’s roster, but are unavailable to gain through events or Shards after November 13, 2025.
“Our players love building the perfect squad, and few squads are as legendary and beloved as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” said Plarium VP, Ronen Gross. “The unique combat roles, traits, and skill sets of each hero fits effortlessly into the RAID universe to unlock the deep team-based customization our players desire.”
In addition to the new Champions, players will gain access to a 30-stage Event Dungeon where they can face the villainous Shredder to earn an exclusive nine-piece Gear Set.
A basic version of the Champion Pass, which includes a Michelangelo avatar and other in-game rewards, is also available to all players for free.
To promote the collaboration, RAID is launching a cinematic trailer where the Michelangelo character teams up with the Raid Champions, Galek and Oboro, to battle Shredder atop the Doom Tower.
Developed by Plarium Global, RAID: Shadow Legends is a fantasy role-playing game that is available on iOS and Android devices, as well as on PC through the Microsoft Store, Epic Store, Steam and the Plarium Play platform.
Plarium Global is a game development company that creates and produces a diverse assortment of gaming titles such as Mech Arena, Vikings: War of Clans, Merge Gardens and more.
Plarium is part of Aristocrat Leisure Limited’s mobile game publishing business, Pixel United.
The licensing rights to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise are managed by Paramount Consumer Products as the dedicated licensing division of Paramount Global and its subsidiary companies.
