Ok, stupid article title, I’ll give you that, but let’s move on to the news shall we? Wayforward has announced two new games in development based off of hit Cartoon Network shows Adventure Time and Regular Show. Adventure Time: Explore The Dungeon Because I Don’t Know has the player exploring the secret dungeon beneath the Candy Kingdom and will not only feature multiple selectable characters, but also four person co-op and the actual voice actors from the show. If you read my review on the last Adventure Time game, you’d know that, while a very pleasing experience for a fan of the show, in the actual gameplay department it left me wanting more, especially for the price tag that they put it at. Hopefully Wayforward learned something and will be able to not only offer more to the game besides amazing sprite work, but also deliver it at a reasonable price. But that’s not the only game they’ve announced, right along side it is a game announcement for it’s co-hit show, Regular Show. Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby in 8-bit Land finds our two heroes transported inside their favorite video games and in desperate need of a way out. No release date has been given but they are said to be released later this fall, with the Regular Show game landing on the 3DS, and the Adventure Time game landing on Wii U, Xbox 360, PS3, PC, and 3DS. As with the last game, Wayforward has stated that the creators of both shows are working very closely with Wayforward on their respective titles.

Batman: Arkham Origins Revealed(Not So ‘Rocksteady’ Though)
So the next Batman game has been unveiled by Game Informer: Batman: Arkham Origins. This game will be a precursor of sorts for the series, having a younger Batman face his many foes for the first time (one of these being Deathstroke). The game is being developed by Warner Bros Montreal, taking the reigns from the series’ previous developers, Rocksteady Games. The head of the studio is Eric Holmes, who was the lead designer for The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and Prototype. Batman: Arkham Origins releases October 25, 2013 on Wii U, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
Also, there will be a companion game for the 3DS and Vita call Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, being developed by Armature Studio, which was found by some of the leads of the Metroid Prime Series. Blackgate will be a 2.5D Metroid Styled game. No date has been given for its release.

The Walking Dead Season 2 Shambling Along Later This Year
Joystiq has reported that season 2 of the award winning The Walking Dead game by Telltale games is scheduled to start in the fall of 2013. Also, while it’s not known exactly what it is now, Gary Whitta, a writer for the game, revealed a special something extra for fans before the second season starts. Telltale CEO Dan Conners states “We’ll probably have something to announce fairly soon about what we’re going to do. It’ll be different.” The game is likely to release on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, next gen console releases are not confirmed at this time. Besides that, nothing is really known about what season 2 will bring, but hopefully if Kenny returns, he’s less of an ass hole this time around.
Embrace Your Turtle Power This Summer
Activision has released a trailer for a downloadable game they have planned for this summer based off of the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. Now some might be wondering which continuity the game is based off of, especially with what seems to be a lot of love from the media world focusing on the series lately. Luckily it looks to be based off of the currently running Nickelodeon series instead of the known Micheal Bay film (evident by the nickelodeon logo at the end of the trailer, and the fact that they’re actually mutants, not aliens, and Megan Fox is thankfully no where to be seen), however the graphics are much more realistic than cartoonish, so I’m really only venturing a guess there. It is possible that the only reason the nickelodeon logo is there is because nick currently holds the rights to TMNT. The game seems to be a sort of 3D action game ala Batman’s Arkham series, though likely with much less content considering it appears to be download only, and also is apparently the first of a three game deal with Activision. The game will be released on PSN, XBLA and PC this summer and feature online 4 player co-op.
Assassins Creed Pilaging This Gen Consoles And Beyond October 29th
A site called DarkZero has discovered that by navigating to the AC4 web page and placing the letter “v” at the end of the url, the above image is displayed. This shows us not only the release date for Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag but also that it will be coming to next gen consoles. That means that not only can you expect it on the PC, PS3, Xbox, and Wii U, but now you can expect to have the option to get it on the PS4 and the NextBox(not an official name, mind you). With the franchise’s arguable decline in quality over the yearly iterations, one has to wonder if it’ll be worth adding to your next gen library, or any library for that matter.
Yar Har Fiddley Dee, There Be A New Assassins Creed!
Ubisoft has just announced the next addition to the Assassins Creed franchise, and there be no side games this time for the scurvy ridden franchise. Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag will be introducing a new protagonist this time around, possibly taking place not too long after the events of the third game, still in colonial times but with a little more piracy running rampant. Not much information is known about the game yet, but it can be inferred that the game will (hopefully) feature more of the naval combat from Assassins Creed 3, one of the redeeming features about that game in this guy’s opinion. The game will be released for PC, PS3, Xbox360 and Wii U, but no release date is known yet.
