Cartoon Network New Media along with its development partner, Grigon Entertainment, today announced the integration of the Unity Technologies game engine to create the first AAA, browser-based massively multiplayer online game (MMOG), Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall. The use of the Unity’s game engine in FusionFall provides an online gaming experience for kids and tweens while supporting game-play on virtually any computer, PC or Mac.
FusionFall is a re-imagined and futuristic three-dimensional adventure set during an alien invasion of the Cartoon Network universe. Consisting of 60 play areas, FusionFall players team up with one another and Cartoon Network characters to defend the universe from an alien invasion. Launching this fall, the game targets the kids’ interactive gaming market and brings Cartoon Network’s stars of Ben 10: Alien Force; Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends; Ed, Edd n Eddy; Dexter’s Laboratory; The Powerpuff Girls; and more, to the online gaming realm.
“We are excited to bring the first AAA, browser-based MMOG for kids to the marketplace and expand the category of interactive casual gaming,” said Paul Condolora, senior vice president, digital for Turner Broadcasting System Inc.’s Animation, Young Adults and Kids Media Group. “Unity Technologies shares our vision of providing easily accessible, dynamic gaming experiences and we are pleased to deliver on this promise.”
FusionFall loads via the browser, making game-play throughout the Cartoon Network universe seamless. The game offers the use of a click and play browser-based game combined with the quality expected of today’s MMOG titles.
