Earlier this year, ComicBook.com’s Rollin Bishop had the chance to speak with narrative designer Yannick Belzil about the possibility of Casey Jones appearing in the game. At the time, Belzil seemed well-aware of the fan demand for Jones to appear!

“People really want Casey Jones to be in the game. People love CaseyJones. So, that would be a cool character. I feel like if we did not addCasey Jones as a DLC, we would be ran down in the streets. We’d have tochange names. We’d have to start whole new lives,” Belzil told ComicBook.com

For those unfamiliar with the game, Shredder’s Revenge is a throwback to the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games released in arcades in the ’90s. The Konami games have a passionate following among retro fans, and will be appearing in a compilation game later this year. While the digital version of Shredder’s Revenge is set to release next week, fans that prefer physical games will also have a number of options available, across all platforms. Limited Run Games has a standard version, as well as two different collector’s editions, both of which are set to go on pre-order soon.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is slated to release later this year on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. You can check out all of our previous coverage of the game right here.
