Watch KFC's Colonel Sanders Shoot Nuggets At A Monster In Funko Fusion

We're going to need a bigger KFC bucket. That's because Colonel Sanders will cross over with Jaws in the upcoming Funk Fusion game, set to launch September 13 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The action-adventure game will then arrive later this year on PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

The Colonel Sanders reveal trailer--seen below--shows the KFC mascot blasting a monster at one point with a bucket full of nuggets. The character, based on the real founder of the fast-food chain, is also seen wielding his cane as a weapon for melee combat. Additionally, two separate outfits can be unlocked for him by being a KFC Rewards member: Chef Colonel Sanders (no points needed) and Mecha Colonel Sanders (250 points needed).

Along with Colonel Sanders, Funko Fusion also features He-Man, Shaun from Shaun of the Dead, and Marty McFly as playable characters, among others. Meanwhile, the action-adventure game will contain worlds based on the aforementioned Jaws as well as Jurassic Park, Five Nights at Freddy's, and Battlestar Galactica.

On Steam, there's a Funko Fusion demo that lets you survive The Thing as Mega Man. It looks like Funko Fusion is trying to fill a similar space as the Lego games with its friendly co-op action. Looking ahead to the game's launch later this week, preorders are live for Funko Fusion and new Funko Fusion collectibles.
