Outright Games has confirmed that it is working on new video games based on Cartoon Network's popular Adventure Time and Ben 10 animated franchises.
Here's a snippet from the PR:
Focusing on creating high-quality license-based video games for the family entertainment market, Outright Games’ new titles will take characters from Cartoon Network’s popular original series Adventure Time and Ben 10 to create new experiences for fans and gamers alike. Adventure Time will feature the Land of Ooo submerged into watery chaos, where exploration, battle and even interrogation will be key skills to unplugging the mystery. Based on a brand new TV series of the beloved franchise, Ben 10 will introduce a fresh adventure in the incredible universe where some of Ben’s most infamous enemies await. Players must discover and unlock 10 alien transformations to aid Ben in saving the galaxy.
While no formats were mentioned, Outright told Nintendo Everything:
It is confirmed for Nintendo, we can’t just tell you at this point which platform but I am sure you can imagine which one that would be.
The new Ben 10 game will be released later this year, with Adventure Time coming in early 2018. Are you excited about either, and which system do you think these will launch on? 3DS might be the sensible choice given that it will have an install base approaching 70 million consoles by the close of 2017, but could Outright be working on Switch instead? Let us know with a comment.

Ok, that picture above is disturbing, this is supposed to be a kids show?
The N64 hasn't had any new games in years... **fingers crossed!**
Why are they being coy about which console it'll be on? lol
They better be releasing it on Switch with a comment like that...
@Bunkerneath
what a weird choice for this article too. of all the available adventure time pictures, even with bmo....
The PR said "high-quality". I doubt that a 3ds game would count as high quality.
The thumbnail.
What the f*** is it.
Why is it in my NL.
Stupid Cartoon Network garbage...
Oww... kay.
Adventure time,
C'mon, grab your friends,
We'll go to very distant lands,
With Jake the Dog,
And Finn the Human,
The fun will never end,
It's Adventure Time!
Heh, there has been a lack of Cartoon video games these days. The ones that aren't stuck on the flash games or on a free to play phone app. Where my Steven Universe/STFOE beat-em-up, Loud House platformer/lost vikings(hmm, we bare bears could work as a lost vikings style game too) so they can reach the heights of Ducktales or the Spongebob THO games!
Could you imagine an Adventure Time video game, that was open world in the land of Ooo like Zelda? Mesa lika veri much!
@Bunkerneath No, it's not. Just as much of a kids show as Family Guy in my opinion......just not as vulgar or crude.
Adventure Time games are generally mediocre-fairly good, so I will definitely get it if it's for the Switch
I really like adventure time. Being also for people with a slighlty naughty mind is one of the charms of the series. Its still a very positive and hearty series with interesting lessons to learn.
But ive never played an adventure time game before. Maybe this time.
Ben 10 stopped being relevant about 10 years ago.
Get it? 10?
Seriously though, that series/franchise is dead as far as I know.
@Bunkerneath Hmmmm judging by the picture in the back of the photo I'd say no.
@JubilifeRival 5 years! >
It's gonna be on Game Boy. Mark my words!
Adventure Time was one of the better things to happen to CN as far as I'm aware. It really helped revitalize the channel and set a new standard for it. A lot of the people involved in it went on to make a bunch of different shows and you can argue that a lot of the shows featured on CN are somewhat similar to Adventure Time.
My money is on both
@Bunkerneath It's closer to Rick and Morty than Ben 10, not suitable for children in the slightest.
Too bad Cartoon Network games generally suck.
Cool, maybe we'll get a sequel to hey ice king, why'd you steal our garbage?
Or another paper mario-like the way Steven universe got.
Ohhhhh.......please be Virtual Boy! I want a reason to buy 1 from ebay
That's just weird that they're doing the "we can't tell you what platform, but you can easily guess it". Not sure where that whole dance in the industry came from. I'm pretty sure we can figure out it's the 3rd 3DS game.... But its really a shame that Ice King is the only "good" game they've come up with...it's been so much shovelware. And even that one was too short....even if it was otherwise totally math.
@Bunkerneath Yeah, as everyone else said, definitely not a show for kids. It's an adult cartoon through and through. Not as blunt and crass as South Park, but from the same school of thought...just more subtle, and more homage to gaming It's actually kind of decent, if a bit trippy.
Adventure Time is tame compared to kids programming from the 90's... Not sure why everyone's comparing it to South Park and Family Guy. There's no comparison there. Adventure Time is a lot closer to stuff like Rocko's Modern Life.
The cool thing about Adventure Time is that throughout the episodes you get some pretty decent charactet development, as the characters do age and learn from past episodes to an extent.
From what I've played The only Video Games made from Cartoons that has actually turned out really well was South Park: The Stick of Truth and presumably South Park: The Fractured But Whole. Every other one I've played has been awful or just semi-enjoyable. Even Adventure Time: Hey Ice King Why'd You Steal Our Garbage!? And Steven Universe: Attack the Light were decent at best. Hopefully this one turns out well.
@JarJarBlacks Adventure Time: Secret of the Nameless Kingdom was heavily based on A Link to the Past. It's a top down 2D and it doesn't take place in the typical Ooo setting from the show, so it might not be what you're looking for but it could be worth a shot if you haven't tried it yet. It's not the best game ever but it might be worth your time.
@-DG Good use of the Rocko's Modern Life reference! I'll one up you with a comparison to Eek! The Cat! lol
I'd have hopes, but I kinda want Wayforward to be the ones developing these.
People complaining about the thumbnail picture must live incredibly sheltered lives...
"I said to the bread lady,
'What happened to your husband?'
Is he bread?
Is he bread?
I've got all the bread you need!"
~ BMO in this thumbnail.
Fun fact, my username comes from Alien Force which is the best iteration of the series.
In my opinion it was CN's last good action cartoon, before it inevitably strayed from being an action show with Omniverse; and finally stopped being one with the current iteration.
@JarJarBlacks Eek! The Cat! Wow... The only thing I remember from that show is the intro, and tge Burger King toys I had as a kid!
1. That image is just...wtf?
2. I want Rick and Morty instead.
I used to be a Ben 10 fan, and I was never an Adventure Time fan, but I definitely do give a lot of respect to the show. All we can hope is that these games end up being decent, which will probably only be true for Adventure Time.
I'm not sure what bothered people about the thumbnail.
Anyway, Adventure Time is a quality show. Not what I wood call a kid show, unless the kid is a teen. Not for vulgarity, just the writing is perhaps a bit over a small kids head a lot.
I used to watch this show with my 11 year old brother(I was 19) and he often said he didn't get it, but did laugh at a couple things. This and regular show are two really good shows that I don't know any "kids" that actually watch it.
As for the game, I have never played an adventure time game, here's to hoping for a Zelda-lite experience? The world of Oo is built for exploring, there is a lot of backstory and things to discover.

Or... You live an incredibly dirty life and everyone else lives a normal life.
What do you look at?
