SDCC: A Triple-A Funko Video Game Has Been Announced
Funko, the brand behind arguably the worst form of physical collectibles, will soon be getting a triple-A video game. The announcement was made during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con. The video game won't exclusively be made by Funko, instead it will be co-produced along with newly set up studio,10:10 Games. Development will be spearheaded by 10:10 studio director Paul Flanagan, creative director Jon Burton, and design director Arthur Parsons – all of whom have worked on games in the Lego series.
Not much is known about this game, except that it will be an action-platformer which will launch in 2023, and will feature the brand's mascot Freddy Funko. As noted by GameRant, one of the more interesting things mentioned during the announcement in Hall H was that the game will feature "major third-party integration". It's not clear what that means, but since there's a Funko Pop for almost every major IP, we'll probably see some familiar – and expressionless – faces.

Blitz – however, it has never dabbled with anything in the triple-A space.
Other than that, Funko also revealed a whole line of new collectibles for MCU projects like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Spider-Man No Way Home among others.
