The cast of Adventure Time are at it again! Based heavily on the assets from the last installment Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW!, the newest title of the franchise Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom is a pixellated adventure in a similar style to many top-down games from The Legend of Zelda series.
In this iteration you control Finn and Jake both simultaneously and individually – depending on the situation – in a Banjo-Kazooie-esque manner in order to discover more about why the Nameless Kingdom is shrouded in mystery. Unfortunately not much else is known about the game as of yet, but its similarities to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past suggests gameplay will involve many attributes from the classic SNES title.
The series has had a patchy past with success. The second entry – Explore the Dungeon – was panned by many critics for being uninteresting and repetitive. Let's hope WayForward have learnt from their mistakes and can make this game worthy of the television show from which it was born.
The game will include many of the characters from the series with voice acting from the original cast. Once again the developer is working very closely with the show's creator Pendleton Ward in order to retain the humour and charm that has made the programme loved by children and adults alike.
Be sure to check out the teaser trailer below featuring narration from the enigmatic Lumpy Space Princess.
Are you excited for this latest adventure? Time to let us know!

To be honest, the first one wasn't all that great.
John Dimiaggio is in Studio? Madworld 2 anyone?
This show is really appalling to look at, I just can't stand it.
High hopes for this.
If it's more adventurous, I'M ALL ON THE HYPE TRAIN this is what the second game should had been
if you look closely, there are places that resemble rooms in alttp
0:30- The first dungeon's boss battle from alttp matches wat's happening in the trailer
Of course no Wii U
Can not wait to get this game for christmas.
You guys forgot to mention the EU release date, which was just announced in a press release today..
That's "reins."
@KJ85 When is it? Physical for Europe please, not like the first (and so far best) of both games! It looks way better than the previous title!
Considering how much it looks like Explore the Dungeon, I'll pass.
@Shambo It is the 21st of November, and yes, it is a physical release.. Publisher is Bandai Namco Games by the way.
I'm hopeful... but if the past serves as evidence, it won't be great. I hope I'm wrong because I really love Adventure Time.
So why isn't it coming to Wii U?
Why can't there be a 3D Adventure Time game?
Since it's not getting a Wii U version despite it coming to PS3 and 360, I wonder if the 3DS version will have all of the content that the home console versions have.
the last game was horrible... you could not pay me to play it again
I only played the first Adventure TIme game but it was a joke. Phoned in gameplay that was just boring, the whole thing was like 5 hours and some of that was backtracking. I hated it.
The Adventure Time games are a load of crap.
I must admit I really enjoyed Explore the Dungeon etc.. I played through the whole thing with a friend over the course of about six months and we had really good fun with it. The thing many reviews complained about was its low difficulty, but I can guarantee you that the difficulty increases tenfold later on, particularly once you unlock the Nightosphere.
No Wii U version is upsetting... Especially when it's coming out on the 3DS, 360, and PS3.
@Hero-of-WiiU I feel bad for you...
No Wii U version? No buy.
@Mega719 It's really hard to translate such 2D characters to 3D take a look at the simpsons it's always gonna end up looking a little off. Some things just work better in 2D and some better in 3D and some do well in both.
@khululy The Simpsons Game wasn't that bad
They outghta be focusing on Shantae and the Pirate's Curse and Half-Genie Hero over Adventure Time crap.
I still haven't played the second game yet, but just from looking at the gameplay, this one already appears to be the superior title.
I'm going to wait for reviews. Its a shame, since it seems like they put a lot into having the proper voice actors, and Pendleton heavily involved in story etc, but they don't seem like they're that great of games.
