Fall Guyshas joined Fortnite as one of the most successful free-to-play games due to its accessibility, fun factor and constant use of memorable brands and IPs. The latter allows gamers to come for one of their favorite characters and stay for all the collectible skins that appear and reappear as time goes on.

From Sonic the Hedgehog to Dr. Who, there are collectibles in Fall Guys for all kinds of gamers and entertainment fans in general. However, there are still some opportunities out there for Epic Games and Mediatonic to tap into large entertainment markets to ensure many more years of strong activity and competitive gaming for the frantic game-show battle royale.
10Celeste
Celeste is a fun and challenging speed-running game that has been widely available on many different platforms. This makes for a wonderful potential collaboration for a game that’s all about taking risks and falling to your doom, albeit without the dashing and wall bouncing.
Fall Guys is no stranger to indie game guests collaborations likeShovel Knight, Spelunky, and Cuphead. While Madeleine is the only playable character in Celeste, there are certainly additional ways to flesh out a possible event that could involve games that focus on speed and wall-climbing as well as collecting strawberries to unlock more content.
9BLACKPINK
With KPOP being a globally-popular genre, there are a lot of fans that gravitate toward their favorite Korean music groups. While BLACKPINK has contributed their “Ready for Love"music video for PUBGand a series of emotes for Fortnite, the band itself has yet to appear in a video game.
Fall Guys could take band members Rosé, Jennie, Jisoo, and Lisa and turn them into cute and sassy caricatures. There is certainly more room for more pop divas in Fall Guys, with the only two currently being Bella Poarch and Miku Hatsune.
8Mega Man
With a certain pellet-munching icon soon making his way to Fall Guys, that leaves Mega Man as arguably the last retro non-Nintendo gaming mascot to cross over to the Blunderdome. As the game recently had two different waves of Street Fighter character skins, Capcom certainly is not a company that hoards its IP from others.

Mega Man has gone through many different iterations in the 90s and 2000s that can make for fun skins to both collect and mix and match. There is also potential for accessories like standalone helmets and blasters as well as additional character skins like Zero and Protoman.
7Hanna-Barbera
The legacy of Hanna-Barbera Studios still lives on, and its cartoons have impacted millions of people throughout generations with classics like Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, and The Powerpuff Girls. There is certainly no shortage of characters in the Hanna-Barbera Animated Universe that can work with the light-hearted, slapstick nature of Fall Guys.
While Looney Tunes is arguably Warner Bros. most popular cartoon brand, there are many anthropomorphic Hanna-Barbera characters that could translate well as bean outfits, such as Yogi Bear, Snagglepuss, and Huckleberry Hound. It remains to be seen where WB lies with crossover games and their IP outside of Adult Swim andDC Superheroes.
6One Piece
Considered one of thebest Animesof all time, One Piece has been going on since its first Manga issue in 1997. Recently launching a Fortnite collaboration, there have been many IPs that have appeared in both free-for-all games such as WWE, Tomb Raider, and Tron.
Though One Piece missed out on Season 3: Sunken Secrets, there would be plenty of pirate-y mischief to be found if One Piece content were to officially arrive in the Blunderdome. Possible character skins include Zoro, Nami, and Luffy as well as a separate accessory of his trademark straw hat.
5Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat is certainly the most unique series in its genre. Like Terminator and RoboCop, Mortal Kombat is a brand that’s made for adults, yet people of all ages are familiar with it.
If you went to the arcades as a kid, odds are you were exposed to digitized actors ofScorpion, Sub-Zero, and Liu Kang.
As explained with Hanna-Barbera, it isn’t known if Warner Bros. would be willing to license the IP out for Fall Guys, but it would certainly be a welcome addition after Street Fighter and Fatal Fury characters have entered the fray.
4Transformers
Another recent addition to Fortnite,Transformerswould make for a very curious collaboration with Fall Guys, converting the hulking machines into miniature, cartoony costumes for the beans to motor in. Transformers has had its share of toy and movie fans from around the world since the 80s.
An Autobots and Decepticons pack headlined by Optimus Prime and Megatron, respectively, would be no-brainers for skin bundles. Designing evergreen iterations of popular robots would certainly appeal to all generations of Transformers fans.
3Final Fantasy
Fall Guys runs short of JRPG love, and what better way to spark a relationship with RPG fans than with the best-selling RPG series? Contrary to the internet hearsay, Square Enix is more than pleased to license Final Fantasy characters to other games like LittleBigPlanet 2, Puzzle and Dragons, and Tekken 7.

There are many avenues the studio can go with in terms of which characters to design into skins. While Cloud is the hands-down first character in mind, Mediatonic can either choose to make a Final Fantasy 7 pack with other key characters from the story or go with an “All-Star” pack of Final Fantasy main protagonists.
2Star Wars
While you may’t imagine any IP from Disney being cheap to get a license for, Epic Games seems to be having constant success with Star Wars, Disney movies, and Marvel superheroes. For a game like Fall Guys, there could be a monetary risk for using characters like Darth Vader, but the reward can certainly be worth it.

Besides Vader, there are certainly many different characters from any three trilogies to consider as skins, such as R2-D2, Yoda, and Kylo Ren. Regardless of characters, this would be a much-anticipated arrival for the free-to-play game.
1The Simpsons
In a game that’s colorful and over-the-top, the Simpsons would fit in like a horse to a carriage. The value of the Simpsons brand remains high after being one of the most streamed shows of 2022.
With a sitcom that spans generations and appeals to all ages, there’s little to no risk to be found with a potential crossover, aside from the Disney price tag.
Beans representing a pudgy Homer and his family would make for some entertaining times in the Blunderdome, whether racing to the finish or being thelast bean standing. Any faithful Simpsons fan would be willing to pay up or grind for every piece of Simpsons content available.
After rolling out the family of four, a second wave can be introduced featuring non-Simpsons like Krusty and Mr. Burns.
