Published on: 2nd May 2024

Funko, 10:10 Games and Universal Products and Experiences have released a new trailer for Funko Fusion gameplay set to arrive this September.

10:10 Games in collaboration with Funko and Universal Products & Experiences, alongside physical distribution partner Skybound Games, have revealed a brand new look at Funko Fusion and release details for the upcoming co-op action extravaganza built around some of the biggest brands and characters in pop and Funko Pop! culture.

Ahead of Funko Fusion’s global release on 13th September, 2024, players can view a new trailer highlighting some of the action-packed gameplay and fan-favourite IP that can be expected.

Funko Fusion is coming to PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch. Pre-orders for physical console editions of the game have started at select global retailers, with pre-orders opening across digital storefronts soon.

Funko Fusion is an action-adventure, single player and online co-op experience that pays tribute to NBCUniversal’s deep roster of beloved worlds and the irreverent Funko Pop! interpretations of the figures who inhabit them. In the game, players will celebrate their favourite movies and TV series across a wide range of more than 20 franchises, from blockbuster movies like Jurassic World, Jaws, Back to the Future, The Thing, Shaun of the Dead and Chucky, to hit TV series such as Battlestar Galactica, The Umbrella Academy, Masters of the Universe and many more.

Funko Fusion is the debut title from 10:10 Games, a studio co-founded by Jon Burton with a team of experienced developers known for their work on brick-based games.

“Our vision at 10:10 Games is to create an incredible co-op video game experience that will bring gamers from across the globe together in a unique, fun, energetic and authentic gaming experience,” said Arthur Parsons, co-founder and head of Publishing at 10:10 Games. “Crafted by a talented team, Funko Fusion is the ultimate celebration of fandom, blending beloved movie and TV properties for every generation with humour, fun mechanics and fast-paced high-adrenaline action.”

“Funko Fusion is our first, explosive entry in console video gaming. New and long-time Pop! fans will traverse, explore, and adventure through incredible worlds inspired by some of NBCUniversal’s most iconic brands and characters, in addition to a wealth of surprises from both Skybound and Funko,” said Jason Bischoff, VP of Licensing and Business Development at Funko.

“We’re honoured to be working alongside these juggernauts of entertainment and pop culture to bring Funko Fusion to life,” said Ian Howe, managing partner at Skybound Games. “To expand the fun for Skybound fans, bringing The Walking Dead and Invincible into the fold, is really just the icing on the cake.”

“Funko Fusion delivers both quintessential and cult classic IPs from our incredible library in a game experience that is completely unexpected,” said Bill Kispert, SVP & GM, Games & Digital Platforms at Universal Products & Experiences.
