Holy schmwow — Cartoon Network’s subversive Adventure Time and Regular Show programs are both getting new games this fall.
D3Publisher and Cartoon Network are teaming up for Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW! for Wii U, 3DS, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The two companies are also preparing Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby In 8-Bit Land for the Nintendo 3DS.
Developer WayForward Technologies is handling production on both games.
The new Adventure Time title follows the success of the 3DS and DS game Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage?!! This new title tells a fresh story and has players teaming up for four-player cooperative dungeon crawling beneath the Land of Ooo.
Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby In 8-Bit Land is the first game based on the cartoon. The title zaps the show’s titular blue jay and raccoon into some of their favorite retro games. The pair must use their gaming skills to escape with all of their lives.
D3Publisher will also produce a new title based on the Ben 10 franchise.
“We are excited to extend our partnership with Cartoon Network on the next iteration of Adventure Time and Ben 10 video games and we now have the opportunity to introduce the very first Regular Show video game to the millions of fans that watch the Emmy winning comedy each week,” D3P vice president of product development Peter Andrew said in a statement. “Having the creative talents of these widely popular animated shows working directly with very proven development teams, it has given us the recipe to create the very best and most authentic video game experiences that will please fans of all ages.”
For the unaware, Adventure Time is an action-comedy show that follows a human named Finn and a dog named Jake as they battle against evil and weirdness in a post-apocalyptic world filled with talking candy.
Regular Show follows the lives of Mordecai, the blue jay, and Rigby, a racoon, as they work their jobs at a park and try to slack off playing games and deal with their feelings for girls.
Both shows air on Monday nights starting at 8 p.m. Eastern.
