‘Demoniac: The Possessive Card Game’ Readies Kickstarter Launch Next Month

Sure, traditional tabletop games are fun and all, but sometimes nothing beats a good card game. Especially if said card game is something like Demoniac: The Possessive Card Game. Described as a love letter to the demonic possession genre by designer Steven Tartick, Demoniac is currently prepping for a Kickstarter launch next month.

The object of Demoniac: The Possessive Card Game is simple: as a minion of the underworld, it’s your goal to possess the other player or players. You’ll start by turning your victim into a demoniac, using possessions to consume their mind and body. You’ll then need to defeat the Holy Exorcist, whose divinity will attempt to thwart all of your evil work. The aim is to be the first to conquer goodness and snatch the exorcist’s soul.

Meanwhile, the previously-mentioned Holy Exorcist will be looking to thwart your attempts. The Holy Exorcist has a bible, church choir, and guitar-armed youth pastor to thwart your evil deeds. You’ll need to withstand their attacks, all the while powering up your demoniac with evil spirits to target the exorcist’s spiritual weaknesses.

Featuring over 100 original illustrations by Evangeline Gallagher, Demoniac makes references to new and classic films of the demonic possession genre, including The Exorcist (naturally), The Evil Dead, The Nun and more.

Ahead of the launch of the Kickstarter, you can head over to the game’s official site to check out more info about Demoniac, as well as sign up for updates.

Funko and 10:10 Games have announced upcoming video game Funko Fusion this afternoon, and much to our delight, the game is absolutely loaded with Funko POP-style horror icons.

The official trailer for Funko Fusion heavily features John Carpenter’s The Thing, as well as 1999’s The Mummy, Jaws, Jurassic World, and even Jordan Peele’s Nope!

Other horror properties including M3GAN, Shaun of the Dead, Five Nights at Freddy’s, Jurassic Park, and Chucky have also been confirmed for Funko Fusion.

Funko Fusion is coming to PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on September 13, 2024. Pre-orders for physical console editions of the game open starting today at select global retailers, with pre-orders opening across digital storefronts soon.

Funko Fusion is an action-adventure, single player and online co-op experience that pays tribute to NBCUniversal’s deep roster of beloved worlds and the irreverent Funko Pop! interpretations of the figures who inhabit them. In the game, players will celebrate their favorite movies and TV series across a wide range of more than 20 franchises: from blockbuster movies like Jurassic World, JAWS, Back to the Future, The Thing, Shaun of the Dead, and Chucky, to hit TV series such as Battlestar Galactica, The Umbrella Academy, and Masters of the Universe, and many more.

Funko Fusion is the debut title from 10:10 Games, a studio co-founded by five-time BAFTA award winner and TT Games founder Jon Burton with a team of experienced developers known for their work on brick-based games.

“Our vision at 10:10 Games is to create an incredible co-op videogame experience that will bring gamers from across the globe together in a unique, fun, energetic, and authentic gaming experience,” says Arthur Parsons, Co-founder and Head of Publishing at 10:10 Games. “Crafted by a talented team, Funko Fusion is the ultimate celebration of fandom, blending beloved movie and TV properties for every generation with humor, fun mechanics, and fast-paced high-adrenaline action. Funko Fusion is the experience we believe fans are waiting to play, and finally, on a personal note, I get to have He-Man in a video game!”

“Funko Fusion is our first, explosive entry in console video gaming. New and longtime Pop! fans will traverse, explore, and adventure through incredible worlds inspired by some of NBCUniversal’s most iconic brands and characters, in addition to a wealth of surprises from both Skybound and Funko,” said Jason Bischoff, VP of Licensing and Business Development at Funko. “Fans have been champing at the bit for more information since our announcement. We are so grateful for that excitement, and for the opportunity to start sharing the extraordinary work, and partnership of our friends at 10:10 Games. Fall 2024, it’s all about Funko Fusion!”

Fans who pre-order Funko Fusion will receive a themed The Walking Dead Pack at launch for no additional cost, which includes two additional playable characters from Skybound’s award-winning The Walking Dead comic books – Rick Grimes and Michonne Hawthorne. The pack also includes Variant Outfits for both characters – Rick Grimes as Alexandria’s Leader and Michonne in her Traveler outfit.

“We’re honored to be working alongside these juggernauts of entertainment and pop culture to bring Funko Fusion to life,” said Ian Howe, Managing Partner at Skybound Games. “To expand the fun for Skybound fans, bringing The Walking Dead and Invincible into the fold, is really just icing on the cake. Invincible, Omni-Man, Rick Grimes, and Michonne, alongside some of NBCUniversal’s most amazing characters? We can’t wait for fans to experience this!”

“Funko Fusion delivers both quintessential and cult classic IPs from our incredible library in a game experience that is completely unexpected,” said Bill Kispert, SVP & GM, Games & Digital Platforms at Universal Products & Experiences. “The game will unlock new adventures for fans, allowing them to interact with favorite characters in wild and exciting ways, with tons of clever homages to these worlds they love to discover along the way.”
