While the reveal of 2B coming toFall Guysis a welcomed surprise, the meeting of franchises isn’t entirely new. Back in August 2020,NierdesignerYoko Taro showed interest in having aNierandFall Guyscollaboration. At the time, many fans smitten with the idea simply took it as a cute show of love from Taro. Now nearly a year later, the very unlikely crossover is coming this month.
DespiteNier: Automatalaunching back in 2017, the game’s popularity has never waned with fans bringing up its unique storytelling and gameplay often. Another reason for the fanfare is due to 2B herself, a character that is slowly becoming an iconic figure in the gaming world. That easily identifiable outfit is likely a big reason why the character is being immortalized withinFall Guysand is probably going to be a common choice of attire by players. This recentFall Guyscrossover isn’t even the first for the character, as2B was already featured inSoulcalibur 6as a DLC fighter.
While 2B is easily the most recognizable character in the franchise, it does come as a surprise that publisher Square Enix didn’t use the opportunity to market the most recent release in the franchise asNier Replicant launched earlier this year to big salesand widespread acclaim. This release of theNier Replicantremake is actually the first time this version is available in the West as previously onlyNier Gestaltwas released in English speaking countries.
Regardless of whichNiercharacter took to the stage ofFall Guys, it still speaks volumes about the fandom and support for theDrakengardspinoff. As forFall Guys, the massively multiplayer platformer continues to bring in big player numbers thanks in part to the continued support by Mediatonic. The game will likely see a resurgence in players onceFall Guysofficially releases on the Xbox One and Nintendo Switchlater this year.
Fall Guysis available on PC and PS4, with Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch versions in development.
