Released in late 2024 by a collaboration between GameLoft and Cartoon Network Games, Ben 10: Galactic Challenge aims to solve this. Billed as a "real-time squad brawler," the game abandons the standard turn-based RPG model of its predecessor, Ben 10: Omniverse (2012), for a dynamic, lane-based combat system.
