A popular party game, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, has announced a fun new collaboration with Marvel. The wildly popular Guardians of the Galaxy have now joined the game, starting from November 14, 2024, and players are being offered their favourite character skins while traversing colourful Fall Guys obstacle courses to Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot.
Fall Guys' Crossover Legacy
Since it was released in August last year, Fall Guys has drawn attention for its unique crossovers, where it dresses the iconic "beans" in costumes from big franchises. The game was produced by Tonic Games Group but received a big boost when Epic Games absorbed the studio in 2021, expanding its capabilities to partner with big franchises. Since then, Fall Guys has done crossovers on popular characters of franchises such as Star Wars, Fortnite, and now Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy.
Marvel Collaboration Grows Under Disney’s Influence
Disney's $1.5 billion equity stake in Epic Games this year unlocked more Marvel crossovers, including Spider-Man, Miles Morales, and Gwen Stacy for Fall Guys players, and the addition of Guardians of the Galaxy means that Fall Guys serves as even more of a pop culture stewpot-nature appreciated by Disney and increasing in partnership with Epic Games over time. The result of this strengthened partnership has also culminated in crossovers in titles such as Fortnite, where players briefly experienced a Fall Guys mode in September 2024.

Guardians of the Galaxy Arrive in Style
As great as some of these looks are, the costumes for the Guardians in Fall Guys are taken from cinematic costumes, which gives their look a great deal of recognisability to fans who watch the Marvel movies. This will not only be based off of the blockbuster success of Guardians of the Galaxy but will also give the impression that Fall Guys means business when the company commits to representing the actual characters in their crossovers.
With even more Marvel collaborations in the pipeline, Fall Guys Players can now look forward to even more pop culture icons joining the gamely whimsy world. As Disney and Epic Games continue to strengthen their collaborative efforts, Fall Guys might yet add fresh, unexpected ways to enjoy a favourite here in an entirely new setting. For Fall Guys, Guardians of the Galaxy is just the next in the long list of epic crossovers, meant to bring joy to the players and expand the colourful universe of the game.
