Despite its short time in the gaming scene, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout has already secured a number of cameos from some of gaming's biggest names. Portal 2's Peabody, Half-Life's Gordon Freeman, Hotline Miami's Chicken Costume, and Enter the Gungeon's Bullet Kin have all made an appearance so far, with fans assuming many more recognizable faces are sure to follow.
The first of Season 2's crossover cameos is on its way, with Mediatonic revealing that Sega has teamed up with the studio to bring a Sonic the Hedgehog skin to Fall Guys. The costume will be available on October 14 and cost a hefty 10 crowns, so those who want to get their hands on it had better start racking up some wins.
The outfit brings the Blue Blur to the game in a fitting way, envisioning the character with a bean-like body and a small hole carved out for a Fall Guy-shaped face. It features several iconic aspects of Sonic's design too, including his long quills, pointy ears, white gloves, and bright red shoes. Seeing as the character has become something of a meme within the gaming community over the years, his new outfit is likely to conjure up fresh content from Fall Guys fans on social media. It'll be intriguing to see whether more characters will get the opportunity to guest star later into Season 2.
Outside of his new Fall Guys appearance and other fun crossover content, Sonic has been notably absent from new games for some time. Sega is allegedly holding back any significant news on the character until his 30th anniversary next year, with many expecting the speedy hedgehog's next big gaming appearance to be fully detailed then. It will have to be something truly special, however, as many fans of the character were displeased with the last major game in the franchise: Sonic Forces. Hopefully, the team will focus on taking the series back to its roots.
Until then, fans can enjoy Sonic through Fall Guys Season 2, with the character debuting in just two days' time. Speaking of Season 2, the major expansion has brought a new medieval theme to the hit battle royale, seeing players contend with the deadly Knight Fever obstacle course as well as Wall Guys, which sees Fall Guys collaborate to navigate over high castle walls. With more content certainly on the way, the game looks to still be offering some fun battle royale gameplay with a ton of charm.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is available now on PC and PlayStation 4.
