10:10 Games has revealed a first teaser trailer of Funko Fusion. Funko Pop figures which have dominated the toy industry in the last decade puts fan-favorite characters from television, movie, gaming, anime, and more entertainment genres into these oversized bobbleheads. They’re instantly recognizable by how uniquely designed they are. Funko is now delving into the video game realm, as the teaser trailer revealed today for Funko Fusion shows a mashup of numerous Funko characters brought together across a litany of different franchises.
The teaser doesn’t reveal any gameplay, but it’s said to be an action-adventure game where you explore, combat enemies, and solve puzzles. Funko Fusion will have dozens of characters to play as at launch. Each Funko character has their own abilities and personalities unique to them. As well online multiplayer will be made available for up to four people to play together.
Some featured Funko characters from the trailer included, He-Man, Back to the Future, The Thing, Umbrella Academy, Jurassic World. It’s unclear if more will be added, but when it comes to Funko collectibles, the sheer volume that are out there across huge swaths of franchises. It would be one massive licensing nightmare to get all the Funko’s into the title.
Funko Fusion is developed by 10:10 Games, a UK-based studio founded in 2022. Many working at 10:10 Games are former developers at TT Games— they were known for the LEGO video games such as LEGO Harry Potter, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, LEGO Indiana Jones and many, many more LEGO video games. Former developers from TT Games alleged that they dealt with extensive crunch deadlines, dealt with a hostile work environment specifically against female employees, and were not listened to by higher-ups on the state of upcoming games. Funko Fusion seems to illicit the same semblance of the toy-like energy many of TT LEGO games brought.
Currently, Funko Fusion is set for release on PC and consoles come 2024.
