Announced on Tumblr, The Frederator Studios (the team behind the psychedelic kids show Adventure Time) proudly describe their new project.

The Frederator Studios are pleased to be involved for the first time with Amazon and their streaming service, and their announcement is one big thank you to the numerous people who have helped them achieve their goal. Nothing as yet is revealed abut the show’s content. However, with it being based on the game, and with so many of Double Fine Studios involved in its creation, it is safe to assume that the humor and transforming action that is a hallmark of the title will be recreated closely.
Costume Quest 1 and 2 are available via Steam for Mac and PC, and also released for the PlayStation and Xbox consoles. The new show may be aimed at children with its animation style, but the influence of the game’s creators, plus a sprinkling of Adventure Time thinking, will certainly mean there will be plenty for the adults to enjoy too.
