BEN 10 Omniverse

Hong Kong – July 24, 2009: TurnOut Ventures (
www.turnoutventures.com), a joint venture between
Turner Entertainment Holdings Asia Pacific Limited and Outblaze
Investments Limited, announced today the upcoming release of
BEN 10 Omniverse Episode 1: Rise of Heroes.
Available on
www.ben10.net in the last quarter of 2009,
BEN 10 Omniverse will be a free-to-play,
browser-based massively multiplayer online game divided into
episodes that involve players in the adventures of the famous boy
hero.

BEN 10 Omniverse will let players participate in
the evolving story arc of Cartoon Network’s
BEN 10 saga, featuring Ben Tennyson, a 10-year-old boy
with the ability to morph into different aliens using a strange
alien device called the Omnitrix. The game will advance the story
through regular content updates (episodes) that also introduce new
zones, quests, characters, items, and skills.

BEN 10 Omniverse is set in the five-year gap
between the original
BEN 10 series and
BEN 10: Alien Force. It has been half a year since the
defeat of Vilgax and life has become rather ordinary for the
alien-morphing hero, Ben Tennyson. But one day at Bellwood Madison
Elementary School, the Omnitrix that Ben wears on his wrist
suddenly emits a blinding flash of light that engulfs the entire
school and neighborhood. When Ben regains his vision, sections of
the school are still standing while others have vanished or are
floating in mid-air. Ben looks for survivors, but sees only strange
alien beings milling around in confusion on the twisted, altered
school grounds.

Players of
BEN 10 Omniverse will create their own alien
avatar whose appearance, characteristics, and skills change based
on the amount and type of alien DNA absorbed. The innovative
character system is based on skills and DNA rather than classes,
and thus allows players to build highly customizable characters
with radically different strengths and abilities.
BEN 10 Omniverse will feature Player versus
Environment (PvE), Player versus Player (PvP), team-based PvP, and
cooperative PvE play to ensure a diverse and interactive gaming
experience.
