You're either utterly obsessed with Funko Pops or you can't stand the sight of them, and there's no in-between. As such, newly announced PS5, PS4 game Funko Fusion is already facing an uphill battle with some console owners. Using what appears to be a similar structure and approach to the LEGO games, this is a title playable alone or in four-player online co-op, and it's out on 13th September 2024. Check it out in the above reveal trailer.

The game comes from a brand new developer called 10:10 Games, which is bringing together Funko Pops based on more than 20 classic franchises, including Jurassic World, JAWS, Back to the Future, The Thing, Shaun of the Dead, and Chucky. You'll play through worlds inspired by all these IPs and more, as a story ties them all together. There'll be more than 60 playable characters in total, all of which have their own weapons and abilities.

10:10 Games co-founder and head of publishing Arthur Parsons says the goal of Funko Fusion 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». Described as the «ultimate celebration of fandom», it's all about mixing together these properties for «every generation with humor, fun mechanics, and fast-paced high-adrenaline action».
