Still, we can\u2019t wait to see it in action in co-op, as it seems to be shaping up to be a pretty radical VR beat\u2019em-up.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, you can now pre-order TMNT: Empire City on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.meta.com\/en-gb\/experiences\/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-empire-city\/6635073589916590\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Horizon Store<\/a>\u00a0for Quest 3 and 3S, priced at $20 (20% discount).
