Funko Fusion is coming to PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch on September 13, 2024. Pre-orders for physical console editions of the game open starting today at select global retailers.
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 and Masters of the Universe, and many more.
Funko Fusion is the debut title from 10:10 Games, a studio co-founded by five-time BAFTA award winner and TT Games founder 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 videogame experience that will bring gamers from across the globe together in a unique, fun, energetic, and authentic gaming experience,” says 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 the experience we believe fans are waiting to play, and finally, on a personal note, I get to have He-Man in a video game!”
“Funko Fusion is our first, explosive entry in console video gaming. New and longtime 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. “Fans have been champing at the bit for more information since our announcement. We are so grateful for that excitement, and for the opportunity to start sharing the extraordinary work, and partnership of our friends at 10:10 Games. Fall 2024, it’s all about Funko Fusion!”
Fans who pre-order Funko Fusion will receive a themed The Walking Dead Pack at launch for no additional cost, which includes two additional playable characters from Skybound’s award-winning The Walking Dead comic books – Rick Grimes and Michonne Hawthorne. The pack also includes Variant Outfits for both characters – Rick Grimes as Alexandria’s Leader and Michonne in her Traveler outfit.
“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 icing on the cake. Invincible, Omni-Man, Rick Grimes, and Michonne, alongside some of NBCUniversal’s most amazing characters? We can’t wait for fans to experience this!”
“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. “The game will unlock new adventures for fans, allowing them to interact with favourite characters in wild and exciting ways, with tons of clever homages to these worlds they love to discover along the way.”
Funko Fusion will be available on September 13, 2024 on Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. Fans can pre-order physical editions of the game starting today at select global retailers.
