<div style="text-align: left;">When it comes to free-to-play games, normally we hear about companies from Asia importing their games to us here in the US and EU. This time around, we get to turn the tables, as <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Cartoon-Network-Digital/">Cartoon Network Digital</a> is sending its popular free-to-play browser-based games to the Eastern markets. That's right, with the creation of Turnout Ventures -- a combination of Turner Entertainment Asia and Outblaze Investments -- people in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand will get a chance to check out <a href="http://www.fusionfall.com"><em>FusionFall</em></a> and <a href="http://www.ben10.net/"><em>Ben 10 Omniverse</em></a> for themselves. <br />
<br />
"<em>The launch of the incredible online experience </em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/FusionFall/">FusionFall</a> <em>in the Asia-Pacific region and mutually beneficial partnerships with </em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ben-10-omniverse/">Ben 10</a><em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ben-10-omniverse/"> MMOG</a> publishers such as Omedia and c2vision, are set to bring gamers never-before-seen levels of immersive game play, as well as create even more localized, partnership opportunities</em>," said Benjamin Grubbs, Regional Director, Interactive Media, Turner Entertainment Networks Asia and General Manager, TurnOut Ventures. "<em>Most importantly, these initiatives build on and extend our iconic properties into the online space, so that fans can be part of the Cartoon Network experience anytime and anywhere.</em>"<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, here in the States, <em>FusionFall</em> has noted that over 9 million accounts have been created in the West, which certainly bodes well as a start for this venture. Considering <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com"><em>World of Warcraft</em></a> has easily half of their entire 11.5 million players overseas, then spreading the <em>FusionFall</em> and <em>Ben 10 Omniverse</em> love is a wise strategic decision.</div>

We kind of already knew this one was on the way, thanks to a listing on <a href="http://www.turnoutventures.com/">TurnOut Ventures</a>' product page that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/02/tom-and-jerry-and-ben-10-coming-to-the-mmo-realm/">was spotted last month</a>, but now it's official: <em>BEN 10 Omniverse</em> will be coming to a browser near you in Q4 this year. TurnOut Ventures made the announcement and gave a description of what to expect from the free-to-play title:<br /><strong><br /></strong><em>BEN 10 Omniverse will let players participate in the evolving story arc of Cartoon Network's <em>BEN 10</em> 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.</em><br /><br />They also mentioned that the game will be episodic in nature (the launch game will actually be called <em>BEN 10 Omniverse Episode 1: Rise of Heroes</em>), with content updates bringing new zones, quests and other additions on a regular basis. The gameplay will consist of both PvE and PvP, with each of these activities offering the opportunity to group up with other players. According to the <a href="http://www.ben10.net./">official site for the show</a>, a closed beta application process is coming soon.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/07/26/ben-10-mmo-officially-announced/">BEN 10 MMO officially announced</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Sun, 26 Jul 2009 11:00:00 EST.

Now it looks like two other cartoons will be coming to the MMO space: Tom and Jerry and Ben 10. Tom and Jerry is going massively multiplayer (for Asia in 2010) through <a href="http://www.turnoutventures.com">TurnOut Ventures Limited</a>, a joint venture between Turner Entertainment Holdings Asia Pacific Limited and <a href="http://www.outblaze.com/">Outblaze Investments Limited</a>. <br /><br />Hong Kong-based <a href="http://www.typhoongames.com/us/about.php">Typhoon Games</a> (who are developing <a href="http://www.hellokittyonline.com"><em>Hello Kitty Online</em></a>) is developing the <em>Tom and Jerry</em> MMO. A look at the <a href="http://www.turnoutventures.com/products.html">TurnOut Ventures product page</a> also shows they're working on <em>Ben 10 Omniverse</em>. Both massively multiplayer titles are being built on the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/unity">Unity game engine</a>, for PC and Mac compatibility. There's no announcement at this time for North American or European releases of either title. <br /><br />[Via <a href="http://kotaku.com/5275653/tom-and-jerry-mmo-to-revolutionize-cat-vs-mouse-pvp">Kotaku</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/02/tom-and-jerry-and-ben-10-coming-to-the-mmo-realm/">Tom and Jerry and Ben 10 coming to the MMO realm</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 02 Jun 2009 20:00:00 EST.
