Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is officially getting its biggest crossover yet – Sonic the Hedgehog. You'll soon be able to put your bean in a costume inspired by the blue blur, as long as you have the crowns to buy it. The skin was announced and previewed during a "Very Special" stream where Mediatonic and Sega Europe played a few rounds while wearing some... interesting costumes.
Those who keep up with Fall Guys news might not be too surprised by the announcement, as a Sonic skin was leaked alongside a "Bathtub Geralt" skin. While the bathing Witcher is nowhere to be found at the moment, Sonic is here to celebrate Sega's 60th anniversary. You'll be able to dress your bean like Sonic starting this Wednesday, October 14.
Getting all the parts for the skin will cost you 10 crowns, so you better get good with Fall Guys Season 2's more hectic challenges. There's no word on if the skin is limited, but you'll still want to get those Ws sooner rather than later just in case. It would be a shame to miss out on this skin.
Fall Guys season 2 is proving to be both a testament to the game's popularity and a chance for it to stay relevant. It's no secret that Among Us is the new fad game about bean people. There's also Genshin Impact making a big entrance. And next-gen consoles are mere weeks away, ready to dominate the conversation. These big-name crossovers go a long way to showing that Fall Guys still has a big audience and means to keep it. Part of that effort relies on answering player complaints, such as the general dislike of team challenges.
Sonic, meanwhile, is on the cusp of celebrating his 30th anniversary. He's already got a skin in Ninjala, and that successful movie that was lucky enough to premiere before lockdown. Next year will see a bunch of merch appear to mark the occasion, including the return of Sonic G-Fuel.
