Cartoon Network Studios Launches First AAA, Browser-based MMOG for Kids

Cartoon Network Studios along with its development partner, Grigon Entertainment, announced the launch of its AAA, browser-based massively multiplayer online game (MMOG), Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall. FusionFall is supported by Unity Technology, which allows the game to be played in most Internet browsers on both Macs and PCs. Several safety features, including Crisp Thinking's NetModerator technology, have also been incorporated into the game to provide a safe environment for kids. Players create their own in-game avatars and battle alongside their favorite cartoon characters to save the world from an epic alien invasion. Players team up with friends and more than 50 characters from some of Cartoon Network's most popular shows, including Ben 10 Alien Force, Dexter's Laboratory, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Ed, Edd' n Eddy, The Powerpuff Girls, Kids Next Door, Samurai Jack, and many more, to restore order to the Cartoon Network universe. The game mixes all the action of a 3-D console platform game and all the customization, character development and open-ended world exploration of an MMORPG (massively multi-player online role-playing game). FusionFall is subscription-based but offers a robust free play area in the 'Future Zone.' Subscription pricing starts at $5.95 per month, with a Family Plan that offers four connected accounts for $9.95 per month.
