Game for the popular collectible figure brand Funko in development

Not everyone likes them, but everyone knows them: the big-headed Funko POP! figures are getting their own video game. A “AAA game” is said to be in development at the new English studio 10:10…

The half-life of Gears POP!, every 2019 mobile offshoot with the typical Funko look, was very manageable. And the media hype surrounding the cooperation of a major Xbox brand with the successful collector’s figures was also limited. Next year, however, the “leading pop culture lifestyle brand” (quote from the official game website) wants to know again: Then an AAA game from the UK studio 10.10 Games is to be released, in which the Funko characters play the main role . Unfortunately, the teaser trailer reveals almost nothing…

Competition for Sackboy?

After all, the genre was already revealed at an event as part of the San Diego Comic-Con: The still nameless Funko game will be an action platformer. Considering the look of the characters, we could have a game reminiscent of Little Big Planet – especially the extremely successful Sackboy: A Big Adventure would be a nice blueprint…

Andrew Perlmutter, head of Funko, is sure that he has a good partner in the young studio 10:10 Games: “Creating memorable products that emotionally resonate with fans and their preferences is critical to all of our portfolio decisions. Now we have the talent at hand to make games that capture that unique Funko feel.” 10:10 Games is run by multiple BAFTA winner and ex-Traveller’s Tales founder Jon Burton, who previously worked on Mickey Mania and Sonic 3D Blast.
