Funko Fusion release date: Pre-order and latest news

It's being headed by 10:10 Games, a new British studio that has pinched some of the talented folks who have worked on LEGO games of yore. That DNA is absolutely front and centre as you will see in the trailers.

At launch, there will be over 60 playable characters from over 20 different franchises, but we wouldn't be surprised to see that number grow post-launch.

But that's quite enough from us! Read on and allow us to take you to Funko-town.

When is the Funko Fusion release date?

The Funko Fusion release date is Friday 13th September 2024, the developer has revealed.

It will be released on all platforms worldwide on 13th September, so it’s time to get your pre-order in if you’re keen on the game!

When is the Funko Fusion UK launch time?

The UK launch time for Funko Fusion is 12PM BST on PC and 4PM BST on consoles on the 13th September

This was announced by the official Funko Fusion account on Instagram. If you live outside of the UK, then have a gander to see when it launched in your region.

It's not uncommon for platform launches to be slightly staggered. The same thing happened with Star Wars Outlaws, but that doesn't make it any less painful when your PC chums are already a few hours in and you're left out!

Can I pre-order Funko Fusion?

Yes, you can pre-order Funko Fusion!

Over on GAME, you can pre-order Funko Fusion on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch.

All pre-orders of the game come with the bonus playable characters Rick Grimes and Michonne from The Walking Dead (and the Leader and Traveler outfits for Rick and Michonne, respectively).

Pre-order from GAME, meanwhile, and you’ll receive the bonus outfits DLC of He-Man (Eddy Variant) and M3GAN (Eddy Variant).

Which consoles and platforms can play Funko Fusion?

Funko Fusion is playable on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and PC.

Strangely enough, the game is skipping the Xbox One, (despite it launching on last-gen via PS4) according to the game’s official FAQ.

Regardless, the list of platforms it is releasing on above represents the majority of consoles where everyone plays.

Funko Fusion gameplay and story details

Funko Fusion is an action-adventure game which can be played in co-op that has you traversing through many different worlds from a long list of Universal-owned franchises.

Over on the game’s official website, 10:10 Games has detailed Funko Fusion as "a festival of fandom".
