Funko Fusion is a 2024 crossover action-adventure game developed and published by 10:10 Games. The game is based on the "Funko Pop!" toy line created by Funko.

Funko Fusion was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on September 13, 2024. The game was also released for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on December 6.[1][2] It received mixed reviews from critics and was a commercial failure which lead to layoffs at 10:10 Games.

Gameplay

Funko Fusion is a third-person action-adventure video game supporting up to four players, in which the player takes control of various Funko Pop! figures. Following the rise of the malevolent Eddy Funko, the player character travels across the "WonderWorlds"—levels based on settings and scenarios from different pop culture properties—completing missions, battling enemies, and collecting vinyl to manufacture new Pop!s and tools the player can use to progress through the game. Playable characters are equipped with both a melee weapon and a long-range weapon for use in combat and destroying objects in the surrounding environment. The player character can be swapped at Funko Pop! display boxes located throughout a level's map and in the game's hub world. The game includes various characters from different Universal Pictures films and television series, as well as characters from Invincible, Valve's Team Fortress 2, Capcom's Mega Man, Scott Cawthon's Five Nights at Freddy's, Colonel Sanders from KFC, and Big Boy from Big Boy Restaurants.[3][4][5][6]

Intellectual properties

The game features characters from more than 20 properties, including those from Universal, Capcom, Valve, Mattel and Skybound Entertainment. Additional properties, characters, and costumes were added via downloadable content.[7][8][9]

The company had joined Women in Games as their Corporate Ambassador in March 2022.[11] Later that year, the company formed a partnership with Warrington and Vale Royal College.[12] Design director and co-founder Arthur Parsons gave a live brief at the college in June 2024.[13] The game is developed using Unreal Engine 5.[14]

The development of a Funko video game was revealed by 10:10 Games and Funko. This was announced in July 2022 at San Diego Comic-Con.[15] The game released on September 13, 2024.[16][17][18][19][20]

Reception

Critical reception

Funko Fusion received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic.[21]

IGN gave the game a "bad" rating of 4 out of 10, stating: "Funko Fusion's dull combat and repetitive missions means that just like your Funko Pop collection, it's probably best left on the shelf."[22]

Sales

Funko Fusion was a commercial failure, which led to layoffs at 10:10 Games.[23]
