In a world of free-to-play live service games, Funko Fusion breaks the mold.
Imagine ifFunko Pop!got aLEGO-style gamethats essentially whatFunko Fusionis.
We know how to deliver that, so we never even considered free-to-play or going the mobile route.
In the future, who knows?
Depending on whether people want it."
You buy the game, you play the game, and you enjoy the game.
It’s not this sort of, like, living ecosystem."
We’re not looking to do that.
It’s something where there’s the game in its entirety.
If we can add something that might engage with people.
If they don’t want it.
It doesn’t really matter.
Add something in."
But how will the game be updated, if at all, post-launch?
We’ve been very open about going right.
Like, yeah, we’ve got a Discord.
We’ve got socials everywhere.
So the game will come out.
The game’s got over 20 IPs in it.
Could we do a special edition of the Jaws character?
Like, if people want it.
We are going to add some free stuff as well.
Obviously, we’ll be looking to the future to see what other games we do.
I think for right now, [we’ll] get the game out and then listen.
What do people want as DLC?"
Because they own the IP."
So they were great.
Voice actor Kellen Goff even returns as Freddy Fazbear himself.
They’ve said, like, there’s a pizza shooting gun.
It’s really fun."
So, the world has an ever so slightly molded vinyl world.
Everything’s rounded off, you know, exaggerated shapes.
Box:
“Obviously, all the characters are Funko Pops.
But then we’ve also got the way you swap characters.
You go to a Pop!
This character is running around with Loungefly bags.
There’s a Mondo shop in there.
Which, you know, after three years of effort, right?
Holy smokes, we can actually share this with the world.
Independent of that, for me personally, it’s the Funko story.
It’s stuff that we’ve never told.
For 25 years, we’ve only alluded to who Freddie Funko is.
We’ve never spoken to the Funko crown.
And it’s critical lore in that it is the nucleus of Funko.
It’s on almost every icon and brand that we have.”

It is fun, friends, family, and more.
So, making sure that not only Freddy reflected that, but ultimately the inherent power of the crown.
So I would say, yeah, it’s the Funko story.
And then also getting to introduce crazy new characters to the canon, like Eddie."
Funko Fusionreleases on September 13 on PS5, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and more.
