Cartoon Network powers up a connected world of original heroes across the TV and gaming landscape with the greenlight of animated series OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes followed by an integrated console game jointly developed with indie video game studio Capybara Games.
Created by Ian Jones-Quartey, and produced by Cartoon Network Studios, the action-packed show follows the heroic feats of K.O., an endlessly optimistic kid attempting to level up to be the best he can be in a dynamic universe of friends and challenging foes.
The console and PC game is an action brawler with RPG elements and is expected to arrive later this fall and will be previewed at PAX East this weekend. From the screenshots the team sent over the game looks very pretty! It sort of reminds me a bit of the South Park game, but we will gave to wait for a trailer to find out more!
“This combined launch marks the culmination of a unique multi-media development process,” said Rob Sorcher, chief content officer for Cartoon Network. “The result is an entirely connected world which provides deeper satisfaction as fans get further into the property from every access point.”
OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes is set in Lakewood Plaza, a mall for heroes, where K.O. and his cool crew of friends are constantly trying to impress each other in their efforts to level up and overcome the obstacles that evil foe Lord Boxman sends their way on his quest to destroy the plaza. A sneak peek of the new series will be presented at SXSW on Monday, March 13. OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes is slated to premiere this summer.
At the very least the show (and game) have a really catchy intro!
