We weren’t quite sure when Activision’s new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game would be launching, as a general “late 2013” window was given previously. As it turns out, the publisher’s official announcement reveals an exact launch.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles title, based on the Nickelodeon animated television show, is due out on October 22 in North America. It will ship one day later in Australia, and on October 25 in Europe.

You can view the game’s boxart above.
