In case you've been living under a rock, Wicked is the movie event right now. John M. Chu's movie musical is smashing box office records right now, so of course it's going to appear in some video games — namely, Funko Fusion.
The game — which has been out on PS5, Xbox, and Steam since September — comes to Switch on 6th December (we hope - it's been delayed a few times). And when it launches, two Wicked DLC packs will be available to download.
Pack 1 features Elphaba and Glinda (or Galinda, as she starts off being known), the two friends who eventually become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good respectively. Pack 2 contains The Wizard himself and the headmistress of Shiz University, Madame Morrible.
That means the residents of Oz will be joining characters from Back to the Future, Battlestar Galactica, Five Nights at Freddy's, Hot Fuzz, Jurassic Park, KFC, The Mummy, The Thing, and Xena Warrior Princess, among many other franchises. No, we're not making any of that up. Yes, KFC's Colonel Sanders is playable.
Aaanyway, if that sounds like a fever dream you want to dive into, you can do it on Switch this Friday. But have a look at our sister site Push Square's thoughts on the PS5 release of the game as a starter. They, uh, don't hold back.
Will you be getting Funk Fusion later this week? Let us know in the comments.

I'm sorry but those Funko designs are hideous.
…………………yay…..! I can sleep now.
I read somewhere those 2 packs are like $8 each, so $16 for all 4, which so does not seem worth it to me. Maybe if there is an entire new area representing Oz that takes 4-5 hours to play, but I haven’t read anything about that.
I prefer WICKED get the actual video game version on multi console PS5, Switch, XBOX which you play as Elphaba and Glinda as the main characters.
Not that Funko games that mixed with other franchise that I dislike them.
Doesn't mean the movie is any good, though. I haven't seen it, nor intend to. But my best friend went with her husband. Both of them, left the cinema. And according to them, a bunch of people during that particular play, too.
I'd be down for a pop culture mashup game like this if it was for anything other than Funko Pops.
This is the 2nd most offensive thing to happen to happen to Oz books. The first being the RWBY vs the Justice League comic books, which is somehow individually worse than the 3rd worst thing: RWBY as a whole.
I wish the game itself were actually good, but after spending hours with it, it felt like a meandering, boring slog that looks nice
@HammerGalladeBro nah, the movie's pretty good. One of the most well paced movies I have ever seen. And has great performances across the board. Never even watched the musical before either, but this movie definitely won me over. Would highly recommend.
@miwa I strongly disagree.
@Zeebor15 Somebody's bitter and not open-minded
@HammerGalladeBro What are you talking about? The movie is amazing!
@miwa "Hidious"? I think you mean "charming".
What's the deal with some of these comments? Did anyone actually watched the movie?
@Zeebor15 What's with the RWBY hatred?
Wicked is awesome. I’ve seen the show five times and I’ve been listening to the cast album my entire life. I haven’t seen the film yet because I don’t like the casting of Ariana and Cynthia and I’m very skeptical of stretching Act 1 out to the length of what’s usually the entire show, but I will NOT stand for any Wicked slander
I swear I'm childish. Every time I see a funko representing the latest character/etc. I always chuckle at the way it looks.
@benmalsky198 found the guy who has an entire shelf full of MCU funko pops
This would be cool if it wasn’t dlc for one of the worst games of the year
@benmalsky198 I cannot go into the full story due to this site's swear filter, but needless to say I feel racially discriminated against by how TERRIBLE RWBY adapts the Oz and Wonderland mythos, but more so how modern DC comics writers find a way to make it EVEN WORSE
I saw Wicked on Broadway and loved it. Unfortunately, the comments and interviews from some cast members of this movie have completely turned me off. Happy for those who can still enjoy it though.
@Chocobo_Shepherd What comments?
@Zeebor15 @Chocobo_Shepherd I have no idea what you mean.
@Goat_FromBOTW Have you seen the movie, they are both AMAZING in their roles.
@Goat_FromBOTW See the movie and you will see how Grande and Erivo are great casting after all.
@PinballBuz.Don't insult me
@PinballBuzzbro I feel like you are making fun of me and I don't like that at all.
@Zeebor15 What does RWBY have anything to do with those?
@PinballBuzzbro For you're information, I only have Wasp and Spider-Man, and even if I did have more MCU Pops, that's not a bad thing at all. Why would you use that as a way of insulting people?
@Chocobo_Shepherd Did you actually see the movie yet? I feel like everyone has seen it by now and do it doesn't make sense that you're still skeptical.
@benmalsky198 if you don't already know then you are not prepared to know.
Don't ask questions you aren't prepared to handle the answers too
@benmalsky198 Go outside and touch some grass and gaze up at the clouds you’re really not in a healthy state of mind rn
@PinballBuzzbro It’s YOU I should be saying that to.
@PinballBuzzbro You’ve got it backwards pal.
@Zeebor15 Fair enough, Ms Puff.
