Ubisoft just revealed that the company is currently working on the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game, a franchise license formally held by Konami.

Ubi's new TMNT videogame, based on the upcoming CGI feature-length TMNT film, is set for release on March 13, 2007, just ahead of the release of the feature-length film March 23. It will be available on all major platforms, including Xbox 360, PlayStation2, PlayStation Portable (PSP), Windows PC, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, GameCube and Wii but not, apparently, the PlayStation 3.

The TMNT video game is being created by Ubisoft developers in its world-class Montreal and Quebec City studios and uses the same dark and dangerous environments and adventure themes featured in the new TMNT CGI film being developed by Imagi Animation Studios and Mirage Licensing. The TMNT movie takes place in a New York City, which happens to plagued by secretive villains and strange, otherworldly creatures. Imaginary ones, too, presumably.
