Funko Fusion onthult meesterschurk Eddy Funko in Story Trailer op San Diego Comic-Con

“Your Worlds Will Fall. Your People Will Suffer. And I Will Have Infinite Power!"

10:10 Games heeft dit weekend in samenwerking met Funko, Inc. en Universal Products & Experiences een heleboel spannende Funko Fusion video’s, afbeeldingen, castingaankondigingen en meer onthuld tijdens hun San Diego Comic-Conpanel. Het hoogtepunt is de nieuwe Story Trailer.


Clancy Brown (The Shawshank Redemption, Highlander, Invincible, Detroit: Become Human) spreekt de dreigende stem in van de slinkse schurk Eddy, de gemene, machtige en gedaanteverwisselende tegenhanger van Freddy Funko.

Eddy droomt van complete wereldoverheersing en gebruikt zijn duistere krachten om de bewoners uit de popcultuurwerelden van Funko Fusion over te nemen. Hiermee bouwt hij een leger met verdorven versies van personages uit series zoals Jurassic World, Back to the Future, The Thing, Chucky en veel meer. Om terug te kunnen vechten moeten spelers hun eigen team speelbare helden samenstellen, elk met unieke vaardigheden op het gebied van gevechten en het oplossen van puzzels.

Over helden gesproken, comics-legende Robert Kirkman verscheen op het panel als verrassingsgast om meer te delen over de inclusie van Skybound Entertainment’s Invincible en The Walking Dead. Kirkman liet toen de eerste beelden uit het Invincible level in Funko Fusion zien, samen met de eerste beelden van de speelbare personages Invincible en Omni-Man in actie en een eerste blik op Rick Grimes en Michonne van The Walking Dead.

Andere paneldeelnemers waren 10:10 Games CEO en oprichter Jon Burton, medeoprichter en Head of Publishers Arthur Parsons, Funko VP of Licensing & Business Development Jason Bischoff en Monkeypaw Productions Creative Director en producing partner van Jordan Peele, Ian Cooper, die de eerste details deelde over hoe NOPE voor het eerst in game-vorm gegoten gaat worden. Ook zagen we de geliefde stemacteur Kellen Goff, die in Funko Fusion de rol van Freddy Fazbear uit Five Nights at Freddy’s weer op zich zal nemen.

Een speciale lijn Funko Fusion Funko Pop! figuurtjes gebaseerd op bepaalde in-game personages zal later deze zomer voor fans beschikbaar zijn op Funko.com en bij bepaalde retailers. Gedurende het panel liet Funko ook exclusieve in-game bonussen en outfits zien, die vrijgespeeld kunnen worden wanneer ze de codes inbegrepen bij Funko Fusion Pop! Figuurtjes inwisselen. Dit zijn onder andere Mecha Freddy en zogenoemde ‘Variant’ outfits, zoals de Slime Pit-variant van He-Man. Deze content komt bovenop de 60 personages en hun Variant-outfits die al bij Funko Fusion inbegrepen zijn.

Funko Fusion is vanaf 13 september 2024 verkrijgbaar op PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S en PC via Steam en vanaf 15 november 2024 op Nintendo Switch en PlayStation 4.ion 4.
