10:10 Games, in collaboration with Funko, Inc. and Universal Products & Experiences, revealed a ton of exciting Funko Fusion videos, images, casting announcements, and more during their San Diego Comic-Con panel this weekend, headlined by the debut of the action-adventure game’s story trailer.

Menacingly voiced by the incomparable Clancy Brown (The Shawshank Redemption, Highlander, Invincible, Detroit: Become Human), fans were finally introduced to Funko Fusion’s devious villain Eddy, the deeply twisted and immensely powerful shapeshifting counterpart to Freddy Funko.

With dreams of total domination, Eddy wields the dark ability to possess the inhabitants of Funko Fusion’s pop culture-inspired worlds, building an army of corrupted characters inspired by franchises including Jurassic World, Back to the Future, The Thing, Chucky, and many more. As players strive to fight back, they’ll build their own team of playable heroes, each with unique tools for use in both combat and puzzles.

Speaking of heroes, comics legend Robert Kirkman joined the panel as a surprise guest to share more about the inclusion of Skybound Entertainment’s Invincible and The Walking Dead. Kirkman then treated the audience to first looks at Funko Fusion’s Invincible level as well as playable characters Invincible and Omni-Man in action, along with a sneak peek at The Walking Dead’s Rick Grimes and Michonne.

Panelists also included 10:10 Games’ CEO and founder Jon Burton and co-founder and Head of Publishing Arthur Parsons; Funko’s VP of Licensing & Business Development Jason Bischoff; Monkeypaw Productions’ Creative Director and Jordan Peele’s producing partner Ian Cooper, who shared exciting details about NOPE being brought to life in video game form for the first time; and fan-favorite voice actor Kellen Goff, who was announced to be reprising his role as Freddy Fazbear from Five Nights at Freddy’s in Funko Fusion.

A special line of Funko Fusion Funko Pop! figures based on select in-game characters will be available for fans later this summer at Funko.com and select global retailers. During the panel, Funko revealed exclusive in-game bonus characters and outfits that collectors can unlock by redeeming codes included with Funko Fusion Pop! figures, including Mecha Freddy and so-called “Variant” outfits for Funko fans, such as the Slime Pit variant for He-Man. This content is in addition to the over 60 characters and their range of Variant outfits already included in Funko Fusion.

Funko Fusion launches for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on September 13, 2024, and for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on November 15, 2024.

Funko Fusion is available for digital pre-order on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam, with physical console editions for all platforms also available to pre-order via select global retailers. Digital pre-orders for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 will start soon.

Players who purchase the PlayStation 4 digital edition will be able to upgrade their copy to PlayStation 5 at a minimal cost, while PlayStation 5 digital edition purchases will also include access to the PlayStation 4 version, upon its release.

FROM is celebrating its inaugural visit to San Diego Comic-Con with the release of its Season 3 trailer, new casting news, and the announcement that the series will return September 22 on MGM+. Series stars Harold Perrineau, Elizabeth Saunders, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Eion Bailey, David Alpay, and Executive Producers Jeff Pinkner and John Griffin, are on the ground in San Diego, meeting fans and breaking news on the Certified Fresh show. 

The group debuted the thrilling Season 3 trailer at the IMDboat before they unveiled the key art through an exclusive fan meet-and-greet. The cast and creatives also announced that two new cast members will join the FROM-ily when FROM returns for its new season September 22 on MGM+.

FROM unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter. As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest — including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down.

Simmons (Diggstown, This Hour Has 22 Minutes), Kaelen Ohm (Hit & Run, Eumenides Falls), Angela Moore (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Maid), AJ Simmons (Reacher), and Deborah Grover (My Next Door Nightmare, Jann).

FROM is created and executive produced by John Griffin (Crater), directed and executive produced by Jack Bender (Lost, Game of Thrones, Mr. Mercedes), and executive produced by showrunner Jeff Pinkner (Fringe, Alias, Lost). Alongside Pinkner, Griffin and Bender, serving as executive producers are Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec, Scott Rosenberg from Midnight Radio, Anthony and Joe Russo, Mike Larocca from AGBO, and Lindsay Dunn. Midnight Radio’s Adrienne Erickson serves as co-executive producer. The series is internationally distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

Thanks for checking out the third dev log and you can check out the previous episodes on the 11 bit studios YouTube channel.
