Directly from the San Diego Comic-Con 2022, we have learned that Funko has plans to soon enter the multi-billion dollar video game market.

Primarily known for its collectible vinyl figures in the form of bobblehead dolls, the company took the stage on the final day of the world-famous international comic book convention to share the first details of this new adventure.

The first of many games

Funko will make its video game arrival in collaboration with developer 10:10 Games, a studio run by five-time BAFTA winner Jon Burton. As revealed during a special panel, the first of these "freakin' Triple-A video games" will be an action platformer set to release sometime in 2023.

"Founded in the summer of 2021 by industry veterans 10:10 Games was formed with a vision to create a studio that is inclusive, collaborative, and welcoming for everyone, a studio where the team is empowered to do their best work every day, and a studio that creates amazing games that engage and exhilarate gamers everywhere", as stated in the developer's website

Andrew Perlmutter, CEO of Funko, said creating iconic products that emotionally connect fans to their favorite fandoms is critical to each product portfolio decision.

By partnering with 10:10 Games and utilizing the best creators in the business, we will have the talent to deliver games that reflect Funko’s unique look and feel across its lines and varied products.”

Speaking of the still-untitled game, it will have a "major third-party studio integration" and is expected to be rated “T” for teen by the Entertainment Software Rating Board. It will launch on current and next-generation consoles, and PC.
