Funko jumping into the gaming market.
From the folks who made MILLIONS off of little plastic figures to now moguls in the gaming industry, Funko has officially jumped into the ring in hopes of making it big.
Partnering alongside 10:10 Games, The collaboration will produce a AAA Action Platformer in 2023. Led by video game developer and five-time BAFTA award winner Jon Burton, 10:10 Games has gathered some of the industry’s best creators to develop it.
They unveiled a short announcement trailer featuring company mascot Freddy Funko donning a 10:10 games t-shirt to go along with the announcement. No details other than that at this time. It makes me wonder if they are planning to leverage their licensing partners to do branded games as they did in the board game world using Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, and even The Golden Girls or if they are planning something unique.
The world can’t escape Funko even if they wanted to, so I imagine they would at least have that trademark look about them. But with something launching next year they promise to provide more information soon. They did say to expect the title to carry a T for teen rating and will have major third-party studio integration so time will tell.
