Today a WarnerMedia presentation was held. In it, a lot of Cartoon Network projects has been revealed, such as a new season for Infinity Train. The presentation revealed the synopsis for the three upcoming Ben 10 reboot specials, Ben 10,010, Ben Gen 10 and Alien X-Tinction. It's confirmed that they will air in that order. You can watch the video here.
Ben Gen 10 is confirmed to feature Rex Salazar from Generator Rex, who is running away from a hostile Providence. Ben and Rex must team up to stop the world from being infected with alien DNA.
Rex Salazar has previously been foreshadowed on the Cartoon Network mural, with a younger look. Which probably means that this is the reboot's version of Rex, and not the one from the old show.

The final reboot special, Alien X-Tinction, will feature the Tennyson family getting attacked by an evil dimension-hopping alien. They later meet an alternate universe version of Max who opens the door to hosting multiple alternate versions of Ben and Gwen, forming an alien hero army to combat the threat.
The synopsis confirms that there will at least one version of Gwen that wields the Omnitrix. It is possible that the dimension-hopping alien may be a Celestialsapien, hence Alien X's name being in the title.
This multi-Ben crossover has been foreshadowed for a long time, with Duncan Rouleau taking to Twitter to tease the possibilities of seeing Benzarro, Gwen 10, Omniverse Ben and Alien Force Ben. There was also a leaked soundtrack for the upcoming episode, with one of them being titled "various Bens".
Here are the descriptions for Ben 10,010 Ben Gen 10 and Alien X-Tinction:
The first, Ben 10010,
takes place in the future when a disillusioned Ben 10000 is called out
of retirement to recruit his 10-year-old version from the past to work
together to save a future under siege. The second special, Ben Gen 10
follows Ben as he meets a young Generator Rex on the run from a hostile
Providence working through a series of misunderstandings in order to
save the world from being infected with alien DNA. In the final
installment, Alien X-Tinction, the Tennysons are attacked by a
villainous, dimension-hopping Omni-alien, and soon meet a parallel
universe version of Max who opens the door to hosting multiple Bens and
Gwens, forming an alien hero army to combat this threat.

We also got a screenshot from one of the three specials. It doesn't tell us much, as it is simply Ben about to transform during night time. But it at least confirms that the Omnitrix won't be getting another design in these upcoming episodes.
The three season 5 specials of the Ben 10 reboot will air in April 2021.
