Your people will suffer. And I will have infinite power!”
According to Funko’s description of the AAA game: 10:10 The game states, “Dreaming of total domination, Eddie wields dark powers to manipulate the inhabitants of the pop-culture inspired world of Funko Fusion, creating an army of corrupted characters inspired by franchises such as ‘Jurassic World,’ ‘Back to the Future,’ ‘The Thing,’ and ‘Chucky.’ As players strive to fight back, they will assemble their own team of playable heroes, each with their own unique tools to use in both combat and puzzle solving.”

“I’ve been fortunate to play many different versions of the bear over the last eight years, but my interpretation of the original Freddy Fazbear has never seen the light of day until now,” Gough said. variety“I’m incredibly excited and grateful to Funko Fusion for finally giving me the opportunity to voice Freddy Fazbear.”
He added, “There are so many reasons why I’m excited to voice Freddy Fazbear in Funko Fusion! Funko Pops! have been a huge part of my life for nearly a decade (Happy 10th Anniversary FNaF!), and the 10:10 Games team’s past projects have been favorites of mine for even longer. I’m ecstatic to see this melding of realities come to life as Funko Fusion, and grateful to be a part of it.”
