Funko Fusion release date: Pre-order and latest news
Pop! Goes the fusion.
If you thought Fortnite didn't have quite enough crossovers for your tastes, then Funko Fusion might be the ticket for you and we've got all you need to know on the release date, pre-orders, UK launch time and more!
We're not kidding either, there are characters from just about every franchise you can think of, from Shaun of the Dead, Battlestar Galactica, Back to the Future and more.
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?

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!

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!

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).

Which consoles and platforms can play Funko Fusion?

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