First Teaser For FUNKO FUSION Features Various Pop Culture Titles Coming Together

It’s been a while since we first heard about the first game coming from developers 10:10 Games, which is a Funko-themed action-adventure AAA game called Funko Fusion. Now, they are back with their first teaser trailer featuring iconic characters from Jurassic World, Back to the Future, The Umbrella Academy, The Thing, Child’s Play 2, Masters of the Universe, and other blockbusters. Of course, this is possible thanks to a collaboration with Universal Games and Digital Platforms.

The game features dozens of playable characters in Funko Pop! form from popular NBCUniversal stories, in addition to other properties, each with their own unique personalities and abilities. Online multiplayer adds even more chaos to the mix, allowing up to four players to team up and battle enemies, explore vast environments, and solve intriguing puzzles. 

Funko Fusion doesn’t have a release date yet, but it is planned to launch on multiple platforms. Check out the trailer below before checking out some of what the creators had to say about the game.

“It’s incredibly exciting to be able to show everyone what the team here at 10:10 Games has been up to," says Arthur Parsons, 10:10 Games' Design Director and Co-founder. "Harnessing the incredible properties we've been entrusted with by our partners at Universal Games and Digital Platforms, bringing them together into a gaming experience that is incredibly fun, surprising, authentic, and celebrates fandom like never before, all experienced through a Funko lens."

“Funko is a leader in bringing characters to life through POP! and other unique product types, but Funko Fusion takes things to a whole new level and gives our fans the ability to interact with their favorite characters like never before,” says Dolly Ahluwalia, Funko's SVP of Licensing and Emerging Brands. “Working with Universal Games and Digital Platforms on this project was a dream of ours, as their IP is like none other, with characters that appeal to all ages. This trailer is a taste of what folks can expect, and we couldn’t be more excited to work with our partner 10:10 Games toward an expected initial release in early 2024.”

“Funko Fusion offers a diverse collection of NBCUniversal characters that will immerse players in an experience that stays true to Funko’s DNA,” said Jim Molinets, SVP of Production, Universal Games and Digital Platforms. “Featuring a fresh take on the mash-up genre, the game will connect fans with some of their favorite brands and key story moments in remarkable ways.”
