D3Publisher of America announced today that it will release Ben 10: Protector of Earth to the Nintendo Wii, DS, PS2, and PSP this fall. In the game, players take on the role of tyke turned hero Ben Tennyson as he uses the power of the Omnitrix to change into one of five alien forms and save the world from arch-enemy Vilgax.

“Ben 10: Protector of Earth authentically portrays characters from the hit animated series, including Ben, Gwen and Grandpa Max, evil Kevin 11, the Forever Knights and even Ben’s arch-enemy Vilgax,” said Careen Yapp, vice president of licensing and business development for D3PA. “The Omnitrix’s most popular alien heroes will be accessible as playable characters, and a familiar summer vacation storyline including all-new locations and content for players will immerse gamers in Ben’s world like never before!”

“Taking the action-packed world of Ben 10 to the next level and creating an immersive gaming experience for our fans is really exciting for us,” said Christina Miller, vice president of Consumer Products for Cartoon Network Enterprises. “D3PA has a proven talent for turning Cartoon Network’s popular characters into authentic and well-designed video games. The variety of powerful action play in Ben 10: Protector of Earth will engage players of all levels and keep them coming back.”
