The Cartoon Network has announced the launch of Fusion Fall, their youth oriented MMO based in a universe featuring characters from several of the network's original series.

Cartoon Network New Media along with its development partner, Grigon Entertainment, announced today the launch of its AAA, browser-based massively multiplayer online game (MMOG), Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall.

“We are excited to launch FusionFall, our most ambitious game to date from Cartoon Network,” said Paul Condolora, Senior Vice President, digital for Turner Broadcasting System Inc.’s Animation, Young Adults and Kids Media Group. “With ground-breaking game play and our international development with Grigon, FusionFall expands on our commitment to producing quality games. We know kids will enjoy teaming up with their favorite Cartoon Network characters in this new dynamic world.”

During the beta phase leading up to launch, more than 2.5 million accounts were created, with fans spending hours playing the game. 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.

“The response to FusionFall during our beta phase and sneak peek play weekends has been phenomenal,” said Chris Waldron, executive producer of FusionFall. “We’re thrilled to finally offer fans the opportunity to fully explore the Cartoon Network universe online with friends and family.”

Why do the characters look so anime-y? My youth has been destroyed.

This shouldn't be your youth unless you are currently about 8-13.

Anyway, awesome..more Free to play titles is a good thing, and this one is well done for what it is. I'm going to place the icon right next to wizard 101

I think he's referring to the makeover old cartoons like Dexter's Laboratory got - like this: flickr.com/photos/rhcooper/912750096/. I have mixed feelings about it myself, but the game was pretty fun to play...casually. I am impressed with the family plan pricing for unlimited access - very competitive.

Edit: read the caption under the first picture I posted - that's just not healthy...

Don't get me wrong. I'm sure it'll be a fine game for people of all ages to play, I just don't see why they had a sudden change in artistic direction. I haven't read much into the making of the game, I'll admit. Maybe Cartoon Network worked with an asian developer.

I suspect, because some of the cartoons, and their style, can only exist in 2D, Dexter being one of them.
