It’s actually happening. After being teased back in October last year, the collaboration between Funko and new studio 10:10 Games, Funko Fusion, has been officially unveiled in a new teaser trailer.
Slated to release on consoles and PC in 2024, the game comes by way of the new studio which was co-founded by five-time BAFTA award winner and TT Games founder Jon Burton and is staffed by numerous other ex-LEGO developers. It’ll feature iconic characters from Jurassic World, Back to the Future, The Umbrella Academy, The Thing, Child’s Play 2, Masters of the Universe and more in their Funko Pop! forms and offer up to four-player cooperative multiplayer so you’ll be able to grab your friends to do battle and solve puzzles.
