Cartoon Network and Outright Games have announced the release date for the upcoming game Ben 10: Power Trip. The game was previously announced to be in development months ago, but now has an official title, release platforms, and a release date. Development studio PHL Collective has been working hard to release the game this Fall.
Ben 10: Power Trip takes place during the current version of the show that is currently airing on Cartoon Network. Ben will team up with his longtime rival Kevin to fight the evil magician Hex.
Ben 10: Power Trip should be recognizable to fans of the tv show. The protagonist, Ben, uses his Omnitrix to transform into various alien creatures. Each alien has a unique skillset that Ben must utilize to take on various obstacles and enemies.
The game tells an original story where Ben has to find out the secrets behind four secrets that threaten Earth. Players will get to transform into various aliens, but it’s unknown how many will appear in the game. Kevin was previously announced to appear, but more of Ben’s friends and family were announced to make an appearance.
Along with the game announcement was a short 17-second gameplay teaser trailer. The trailer showcased a few of Ben’s alien forms along with some of the levels he will explore. Although the animated show is in 2D, the game will be a 3D adventure.
The developer, PHL Collective, has previously released other Cartoon Network-related games on console and mobile. The company previously launched We Bare Bears: Food Truck Rush, ClusterPuck 99, and Ben 10: Omni-Charge.
PHL Collective’s last Ben 10 title was a 1-3 VR cooperative multiplayer game where each session lasts around five minutes. Players wear a Powertrix suit armed with powerful alien abilities to fight enemies. Th developer is already familiar with the franchise and is now working to release the new game on PC and consoles.
