Finn and Jake can also recruit more allies along the way. On a side note, it is unclear whether or not players will be able to control the allies or whether they will be AI-controlled.

An open-world for players to explore at their will, art-style similar to that of the shows (but in 3D instead of 2D), multiple playable characters, and an original story created solely for the brand new game.

Aside from that the game will also feature tactical combat However, no information on the combat mechanics have been released as of yet. There will also be a system called Hero Progression and lots and lots of pirates.
