Funko Fusion game trailer features Back to the Future and more movie icons

radiotimes.com:

10:10 Games, Universal, and Funko have teamed up to bring the world Funko Fusion, a brand-new Funko Pop game that brings the Funko’d worlds of Back to the Future, Jurassic World and more together at last.

Originally teased in 2022 with a 2023 release date in mind, the co-op game is being developed by the newly-formed UK studio 10:10 Games, which was founded by former members of TT Games (best known for the LEGO games).

Just like LEGO, Funko releases figures of characters from popular films, TV and video games. With close to 10,000 Funko Pops available to collect, though, it's safe to say the development team had a lot of material to work with.

While the prospect of thousands of playable characters is a tantalising one, Funko Fusion looks to be limited primarily to Universal franchisees with a tease of «other properties».

It’s not a limiting limit. The likes of The Thing, The Umbrella Academy, Battlestar Galactica, and even Shaun of the Dead can be spotted in its frenzied teaser trailer to name but a few notable IPs. You can check it out below:

The teaser trailer promises but a taste of what to expect and shows the game’s attention to detail when it comes to each individual character. According to a press release, Funko Fusion is promising “a fresh take on the mash-up genre” and it “will connect fans with some of their favourite brands and key story moments in remarkable ways”.

Funko Fusion is set to launch with “dozens of playable characters in Funko Pop form” from Universal stories and “other properties”. Each playable character is promising “their own unique personalities and abilities”. We can’t wait to smack up other Funkos as Shaun with his trusty cricket bat.

Up to four players can team up in online co-op
