Before starting a match or tournament, you must pick your country (try one of the new 20 African countries), assemble your team (from key Cartoon Network characters, including new characters such as Buttercup from The Powerpuff Girls and Ice Bear from We Bare Bears), and start playing matches!

For all the action, green, alien fans, boy do we have a treat for you!  Following the successful global re-launch of the beloved franchise Ben 10, Cartoon Network is introducing Ben 10: Up to Speed. The game follows Ben Tennyson as he goes on the best summer vacation ever with his Grandpa Max and Cousin Gwen. He discovers an alien artifact called the Omnitrix that allows him to transform into powerful alien heroes.  Playing as Ben and his various alien alter egos, gamers will save the world by stopping evildoers, from giant robots to menacing magic users.**Download gameplay video here**

“At Turner, we understand that our audience is now predominantly online. This is an amazing opportunity for us to engage and interact with our viewers, when they are not watching Cartoon Network on-screen. It goes without saying that it is important for us to invest in this space, so Cartoon Network will have a strong digital focus in 2017,” says Pierre Branco, Vice President, Southern Europe and Africa for Turner International.
