The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise may have turned 30 years old last year, but the party is still on. We already know additional Sonic themed outfits are planned for Fall Guys this month, but developer Mediatonic this morning announced details of a collaboration event with Sega’s iconic brand. The event aims to celebrate Sonic the Hedgehog’s 30th anniversary and includes a new Sonic-themed level and new costumes.
The new level is called “Bean Hill Zone” and tasked Fall Guys beans with collecting as many rings as possible to win special rewards. If the player earns 200 points, they will receive a badge named “Bean Hill Zone”. Earning 400 points gets 200 kudos, 600 points gets the Bonus Ring Pattern skin, 800 points gives you 400 kudos, and 1,000 points allows you to use Sonic’s iconic sneakers.
However, that is not the only reward you can win in this event. New skins for Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Super Sonic and Dr. Robotnik is available in the store during the event period. You can also purchase Sonic Foot Tap emoticons.
This is not Sonic’s first appearance in Fall Guys as a costume. Back in 2020, players can choose this Sonic costume. This special Fall Guys event featuring Sonic the Hedgehog begins on Thursday, August 11 and runs through Monday, August 15.
Fall Guys originally launched on PlayStation 4 and PC, where it enjoyed overwhelming success as a fun gameshow in the battle royale genre, in 2020. In 2021, publisher Epic Games has acquired Fall Guys developer Mediatonic. Earlier this summer, Fall Guys changed from a premium model to a free-to-play model and launched on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Switch.
