Happy Star Wars Day, Star Wars fans! While a lot of you are probably out experiencing the 25th Anniversary re-release of Episode I – The Phantom Menace and the special look at The Acolyte afterwards (or maybe you’re amongst the brave who is powering through the entire marathon), there are definitely plenty of fans who will be returning to a Star Wars game afterwards. Whether its loading up Star Wars Jedi: Survivor again for its first birthday or checking out the new Star Wars x Fortnite collaboration, there’s still plenty of Star Wars gaming content to pass the time until Outlaws release. The latest collaboration announcement that was held off until today is that Star Wars will also be collaborating with Fall Guys.
The official Fall Guys YouTube channel released a trailer showcasing upcoming Star Wars-themed content. The StarWars.com website also announced the new additions, which include four costumes and content from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
Star Wars x Fall Guys Collaboration
According to the Star Wars website:
From next week, don your Battle Beans with Han Solo’s iconic attire as he commandeers the Millennium Falcon alongside his loyal Wookiee companion, Chewbacca, heroes of the Rebellion. Align with the Galactic Empire by donning Boba Fett’s formidable Mandalorian armor or the classic attire of stormtroopers. The collaboration extends to in-game elements, including a Sarlacc Pit escape sequence to devour opponents and a Carbon Freezing Chamber inspired by “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back,” trapping unfortunate Beans in Carbonite.
The highly anticipated Star Wars x Fall Guys collaboration is set to launch on May 7th and conclude on May 20th. Fall Guys, a free-to-play multiplayer royale game, is available on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and the Epic Games Store. The collaboration has garnered significant excitement on social media, with fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of Bean Solos and Beantroopers in the Fall Guys store.
Fall Guys boasts numerous collaborations, both within the game and in external projects. Notably, Fall Guys is set to integrate with Fortnite through the Unreal Editor in Fortnite (UEFN) program. Past collaborations include Toy Story, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Death Stranding, and Tomb Raider. These crossovers showcase the game’s popularity and its ability to attract collaborations with high-profile franchises, including the recent addition of Star Wars characters.
