Developer 10:10 Games and Funko Inc. have revealed a first look at Funko Fusion, an upcoming third-person adventure game that will see the likes of Jurassic World, Back to the Future, The Thing and Hot Fuzz (yes, really) land on Switch on 13th September.
Now, we'll admit, some of the included IPs are a little more out there than we would have expected (who gave the all-clear on Chucky?) but hey, if you're going to do 'LEGO Dimensions but Funko' then it makes sense to include everything and the kitchen sink.
Funko Fusion will offer over 60 playable characters (all of whom appear in the signature Funko Pop! big-head style) from more than 20 franchises as you make your way through familiar locales to track down the big bad who's up to... something. We imagine that we'll see more story details over the coming months.
It all looks very much as you might expect from a story-driven Funko game, though there is a little more gore than we would have imagined — no LEGO studs to be seen here.
You can get a closer look at some of the fandoms involved in the following screenshots.
And yes, the very end of the above trailer reveals that there are pre-order bonuses (because of course there are). All those who decide to get in on the action early will unlock The Walking Dead Pack, which looks to throw in Rick Grimes and Michonne as playable characters.
What do you make of this one so far? Which franchise are you the most excited to see on Switch? Let us know in the comments.

Oh wow, seems like they're going 300% into their delirium, it could actually be something. Curious if the gameplay holds the candle ..
I can never forget Funko throwing away $30 million worth of Pops because it was cheaper than trying to sell them. Just a terrible company pumping out mountains of garbage. Also: this game looks like a hot mess.
No idea who this is for seems like a cluster of mismatched franchises trying to be an edgy version of a lego game.
Does any one actually xare about Funkos anymore. I never did but every Christmas you'd be given at least one by someone
This is how I find out 1) Universal has a physical games distribution and publishing arm, and 2)Dark Horse licensed Umbrella Academy specifically to "Universal Content Productions" revealing why we call web shows "content" now; because NBC declared it so to keep the other departments feeling better about themselves.
Well, they look ever so slightly less tacky as computer graphics. I will give them that.
Funko pops are godawful trash. That is all.
I have more of the things than I should but for many characters this is the only type of merch that they get. I will fight someone over my Agent Melinda May funko. Anyway I will wait on reviews for this game.
Oh, you are going to include FOMO practices? Well, never mind then.
The ONLY Funko I own (and probably will ever own) is that KH1 Sora with the box art display case. Got that back when we didn't know if Sora was getting an amiibo and the artwork is pretty sick.
Beyond that, I really don't care for these things.
Oh god they're invading actual video game culture now somebody stop them!
@Peteykins this is exactly what I posted on IGN’s Facebook comments. I’m amazed how people are so insensitive and careless about the environment. They kept justifying them. “Every company does this” “Well give me an example” …. Nobody gave another example like this. It’s freaking plastic that could have been recycled or figures donated to poor kids. But noooooo, let’s just put them in a landfill because we don’t want to pay for storage. F Funko
This is Lego Dimensions for Redditors.
Make a real He-Man game and then we'll talk.
I really just dislike the art style on these things. Seen the better concept done much better by other companies.
Seeing Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim be a part of this sent daggers through my soul.

While I don't despise Funko Pops quite as much as others do, I can't really say I like them much either (with some exceptions obviously) so this does absolutely nothing for me. Seeing the game itself be so shockingly violent/gory is also a huge turnoff for me personally. Like listen: I got no problems with violence/gore in my games (Dead Space is a personal favourite of mine after all), but this being as grotesque as it is feels less like it was done with purpose and moreso like it was done out of spite given the disdain the general populous have for Funkos.
My favorite used shee-it shop in Indianapolis replaced their VHS section with a pile of Funko trash. It made my heart hurt.
@JimNorman Since you wrote the article, any idea if the 4 player co-op is online only or does it include couch? I've been searching all over since yesterday but no go. Stupid company doesn't even engage on twitter. 😝
The Gelatinous Cube Funko is pretty great. It's all downhill after that 😁
Funkos make me go eww
@Peteykins I agree.
I have a Dan Marino, Tracer, Limited Edition Widowmaker (because my workplace was selling them for a fiver) and the full Vox Machina set, with Trinket and both Vex’ahlia types (because a mate gave me them for my birthday). Outside of that, I’m not fussed about any more - there are no signs of any Mighty Nein or Bells Hells Pops coming.
The Marino one was a piece of cake to find actually. I was after a Ryan Tannehill one as well to bookend 40 years of Fins fandom, but that turned out to be a bugger to find, and then he got traded to Tennessee…
Feels like they’re trying to make a Lego style game but edgy and cool and adult. And it looks like absolute garbage.
Can we stop just mashing all the art together into a big homogenous “pop culture” soup? There is ZERO logical reason for Back to the Future and The Thing to be mashed together. No reason for Invincible to be smashed into Jurassic Park. Five Nights and Freddie’s and Battlestar Galactica? Why? It’s all just devaluing the art of some of the best works of film and comics to make a quick buck for the executives of the companies that sadly own the rights to these things. It’s beyond satire now, it’s just deeply ugly greed.
OK, now put the Sidney Crosby one in it and I'll consider it.
I still won't buy it, but I'll give it like 6 seconds of consideration.
Coming soon: The Beany Baby™ Game®©.
I'm surprised these cheap plastic figurines still exist.
Huh. This is interesting. Although what’s with the gore? They’re plastic figures.
I've never been a fan of Funko POPs, I just don't like the way they look.
So I just looked up the game on google and it turns out that the developers are made up of ex LEGO game devs. So who knows maybe the game will be good.
"who gave the all-clear on Chucky?"
am I the only one that thinks including Chucky is one of the more normal, unremarkable details of this story?
what do y'all have against Chucky? 🤔
Old School Battlestar Galactica! YES!!!
It's already bad that I see more of these damn things than videogames when I go to a videogame store.
We'll see how this turns out, remember that Gears of War Funko game?
Now this is something to get sooner rather than later... because there's no telling how much time it has on eShop to begin with.😅
I love Nope as much as anyone else but what the hell would Emerald and OJ have as their abilities lmao
I get it. Funko baaaad!!! Still, I'll be the lone dissenting voice.
This game, for what it is, looks better than it has any right to. It just does. Maybe it is an edgy LEGO Dimensions. Whatever. Unpopular or not, I'll get it.
Honestly? I've played some games lately that were popular, yet too janky to enjoy fully. (I'm talking to you Helldivers 2.)
This game looks silly and, given the vast number of games taking themselves so seriously lately, that's good enough for me. Run without crashing every 10 minutes and we're good.
My kid has some of those. They're trash.
Eww, Funko Pops.
Seeing a lot of hate for this, but I can't deny that I'm curious about running around Hill Valley with a shotgun.
my first wife divorced me for spending all our savings on funko and my 2nd wife is threatening legal action if i buy this game but i think it'll be worth it, it looks so epic
@-wc- Its normal that its coming from Universal who owns that IP, but as someone who detests slasher films it would be preferable without it
Sorry, you got a problem with Hot Fuzz?
@The_Blue_Mage
lol well sure. I'm glad that games and characters are still coming out that you don't personally like, aren't you?
the point is that it's normal to include Chucky, as you said. not "out there." it's a really weird thing to write in the article, imo.
@robsanta74
"This game looks silly and... that's good enough for me. Run without crashing every 10 minutes and we're good."
No offense intended to you personally, but that is perhaps the lowest bar I've ever seen someone set in gaming. Dark times, people. 😂
I like Funko Pops, but have had to sell most of my collection twice in order to save space. The only Pops I have left include Harley Quinn Batman, the entire Gwenpool collection, & all 3 BabyMetal figurines. I wouldn't part with any of them.
