It can no longer be denied: Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is absolutely exploding in popularity. How popular is Fall Guys? It is so popular that there’s already a fake mobile Fall Guys clone scamming people into playing. Consider this a warning: Fall Guys is not yet on mobile, and any adds claiming so are, as of this article, false.
What is not false, however, is that Fall Guys has really taken off. A cute and wholesome battle royale about amorphous blob-beings in a Wipeout style game show, it is easy to play, watch, and enjoy. In fact, Fall Guys is so popular, and becoming more popular as players stream it, that many companies want to get in on the action.
Multiple corporations have been pitching skin tie-in ideas for Fall Guys. The blob-like participants in Fall Guys are so easy to design skins/clothing for that everyone wants to advertise with them. So far however, the only skins released have been video game tie-ins. The most recent one revealed was given as an exclusive to the statistically best Fall Guys player, at least at the moment. That player revealed himself to be streamer DrLupo, and he revealed that the skin was P-Body from Portal 2. As of today, the skin is available for anyone to buy from the Fall Guys store.
This is in keeping with the way that Fall Guys has handled referential costumes so far. All of the Fall Guys tie-in skins have been from Valve games, and those Valve costumes were recently brought to PS4. So Fall Guys seems to be rolling out its tie-ins to more players slowly. P-Body is by far the most transformative costume, covering the character wearing it completely. No other costume has hidden or changed the face before, and it is unlikely many will in the future, since the Falling Competitors are so adorable.
As for future skins, it seems at least a few will be tied in with corporate logoes. Mediatonic, the company behind Fall Guys, has offered a skin to whoever donates the most to the non-profit Special Effect. This has created a wholesome Fall Guys bidding war, with an in-game skin as the prize. Needless to say the competition is fierce.
It’s obvious why every company, whether tied to video games or not, wants a place in Fall Guys. With how big Battle Royale games have gotten, and how big Fall Guys in particular is getting, it’s a great chance to advertise. In a game where over 300 people have done the impossible, there’s a lot of room to be seen. But for now, the newest skin is P-Body, and it looks pretty good.
Fall Guys is available now on PC and PS4.
