Released in 2009 by 1st Playable Productions, The Secret Saturdays: Beasts of the 5th Sun is an action-adventure game based on the Cartoon Network animated series of the same name, available on Wii, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and Nintendo DS. Players take on the role of Zak Saturday and members of his family as they travel across global locations, uncovering and safeguarding hidden cryptids — mysterious creatures unknown to mainstream science. Running parallel to this mission is a conflict against the antagonist Argost, whose plans threaten the planet. The game follows the premise and cast of the television series closely, translating its blend of family adventure and creature-focused mythology into an interactive format suited to younger audiences familiar with the source material.
