Capybara Partners With Cartoon Network For Video Game Based On New Show OK K.O! Let’s Be Heroes
Capybara, known for games like Super Time Force, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, and the in-limbo Below, is partnering with Cartoon Network to develop a game based on a new(ish) show called OK K.O! Let's Be Heroes.
You can find screenshots from the game throughout this post, but immediately below, you will find the series' intro.
The universe has existed as a series of shorts on Cartoon Network's YouTube page as well as a mobile game called OK K.O! Lakewood Plaza Turbo for some time, but is now becoming a full show premiering this summer and a larger game. It's unclear when the game will be be releasing.
The show, and coincidentally the game, follows a character named 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 accompanying game will be a brawler with RPG elements.
Our Take
Nice to see a collaboration like this starting at the show's inception. Hopefully it leads to a better video game tie-in.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
