<p>Funko (https://www.engadget.com/tag/funko/), which is best known for its Pop vinyl figurines, is about to venture into new territory. It's making video games with the help of developer 10:10 Games. The studio is led by Jon Burton, the founder of Traveller's Tales and TT Games (https://www.engadget.com/tag/tt%20games/). “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,&quot; Funko CEO Andrew Perlmutter said in a statement.</p><p>The first game under the partnership is an action platformer that's coming to PC and consoles in 2023. Funko says the untitled game will have &quot;major third-party studio integration,&quot; which probably shouldn't be a big shock given the high-profile (https://www.engadget.com/2018-07-18-fortnite-funko-pop-toys-will-be-here-for-the-holidays.html)licensing deals (https://www.engadget.com/2017-06-19-stranger-things-action-figures.html) Funko has for collectibles and Burton's experience with the various Lego games. Meanwhile, Funko expects the game to have a “T” for teen rating.
