The contest is open to game studios and other brands looking to promote their products in Fall Guys, which is currently the most-watched game on Twitch and the third most-played game on Steam behind only Valve’s own CS:GO and Dota 2. To enter, brands can bid on how much they’d be willing to donate to Special Effect. The highest bidder wins. “The thirst from brands has been unreal, so we’re turning it into something positive!” the Fall Guys Twitter handle announced. “Prize: Your brand inside Fall Guys as a costume! To enter: Reply to this tweet with the highest amount of money you would be willing to donate to Special Effect.” The contest is open for the next two weeks. After the highest bidder makes its donation, Mediatonic will incorporate the pitched skin into the game. Here are a few of the best Fall Guys skins that could potentially make it into the game:
Unofficial Fall Guys Crossover Skins
First up is Rivals of Aether, the indie fighting game, with a $10,000 bid. It took an early lead in the competition. Rivals of Aether was joined by the popular free-to-play loot shooter title, Warframe, which also offered up a $10,000 donation. We really like the Lotus skin! Then the bidet company Tushy got to the bottom of things with a $40,000 bid… But then esports brand G2 Esports completely bulldozed over the competition with a $130,003 offer. The samurai skin is a nod to the brand’s logo: You didn’t expect the bidding war to stop there, right? Popular Fortnite streamer Ninja has entered the race, pitching his own skin with a $200,000 bid. Ninja is currently in the lead! As you can imagine, fans of the game have joined in on the fun, pitching their own skins on behalf of other brands. This Cyberpunk 2077 skin is particularly great, but will CD Projekt Red jump in? Another fan is trying to convince Funimation to pitch a Majin Buu skin as an ode to Dragon Ball Z. We are here for it: This Fallout Vault Dweller skin is also the best: Before the contest got underway, several other studios pitched joke ideas for Fall Guys skins. While they were designed to spark conversation on Twitter, some of these crossover skins are actually stellar and we hope Mediatonic considers including them in the game: The Colonel wants in, too… And if Fall Guys isn’t the game where a kid can be a kid, we don’t know what is: One fan also pitched a Death Stranding skin on behalf of Kojima Productions that this writer desperately wants in Fall Guys: Ditto this Ghost of Tsushima skin: Of course, Fall Guys players shouldn’t hold their breath when it comes to seeing all of these skins in the game, but so far, most of these are on our wishlist and we hope more of them start being incorporated into the game at some point. Gordon Freeman from Half-Life was the first crossover skin introduced to the game as a pre-order bonus: A Hotline Miami skin followed. Fall Guys seems a little tame for the violent fever dream that is the top-down indie shooter but we’ll take it: Team Fortress 2 fans can also get a Scout skin in the game! We’ll keep you posted as new contenders join Mediatonic’s contest and new crossover skins are unveiled.
