Uh, I’ll consider it after I see it

A Funko platformer? Uh, perhaps I’d play it! I imply it’s Funko. However it’s additionally a platformer! I’m erring on the facet of “this received’t excite lots of people.”

As for the small print, effectively there isn’t a lot, however there’s one thing! Funko really revealed the information at San Diego Comedian-Con (SDCC) this previous weekend, noting that the partnership entails a growth take care of 10:10 Video games, and “a number of the trade’s greatest creators.” The UK studio has no actual pedigree proper now as a corporation (it shaped in mid-2021), and the “AAA Funko platformer” due in 2023 will probably be their first check.

Proper now they’re targeted on “creating AAA content material for present and subsequent gen consoles and PC,” and the undertaking itself is untitled. Unusually, the sport is aiming for a “T for Teen” ranking, which will probably be wild to see play out in actual time. Hopefully it finally ends up faring higher than the now-closed Gears Pop recreation.

That mentioned, if that is one way or the other as far faraway from the Funko aesthetic as potential, a “AAA platformer” sounds attractive on paper. You simply don’t see very a lot of them anymore, as that’s principally reserved for the indie area. Sadly, Toys for Bob and Vicarious Visions might have had that space on lock, however they had been folded into numerous bits of Activision as help studios.
