Funko Pop! Blitz

N3twork will develop Funko Pop! Blitz mobile game with Universal

N3twork, the maker of the Legendary mobile game and publisher of third-party titles, has secured the rights to develop Funko Pop! Blitz from Universal Games & Digital Platforms, which is winding down its internal development of games.

N3twork will collaborate with Funko and Universal Games & Digital Platforms, the previous publisher, and will prominently feature many of the media company’s catalog of brands and characters. While N3twork recently raised $40 million to expand its mobile game publishing, Universal Games & Digital Platforms announced it would wind down its internal development and license its film and TV properties to external game developers.
