Ever since Mediatonic released Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout last year, the last-man-standing battle royale game has seen content continuously added. Not only have players gotten new stages and modes, but there have also been a slew of new cosmetics added, many of which are based on other video game franchises. That’s the case with today’s news, as Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout appeared during Summer Game Fest 2021 to debut a new trailer, revealing that 2B from Nier will be getting a skin in the game.

The brief Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout trailer was shown during the Summer Game Fest 2021 livestream and shows an iconic Fall Guys bean character wearing a 2B costume (2Bean anyone?). Fans of 2017’s Nier: Automata will instantly recognize 2B as the protagonist of the action-RPG.

It’s currently unclear how many crowns the 2B Fall Guys skin will cost. That said, players can hit the stage as 2B when the Nier skin comes to Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout on June 18. 2B is just the latest in a long line of popular video game characters to make an appearance in Mediatonic’s battle royale game show. For more of all the announcements made at Summer Game Fest 2021, Shacknews has you taken care of.
