Now that Fall Guys has announced a crossover with Among Us for its Season 4, it has restarted a conversation about how similar the characters in each game appear. This was a big debate when Among Us skyrocketed in popularity late last year and dethroned Fall Guys on Steam, since the two games looked very similar to people who haven't played both.
Among Us and Fall Guys were two of the biggest games of 2020, and a crossover between the two had been speculated and rumored for a while. Now, thankfully, fans' dreams are coming true since Fall Guys' Among Us crossover will happen in Season 4. The crossover event will include crewmate costumes from Among Us, and devs at Mediatonic - the developer of Fall Guys - have hinted that there's more to come.
Now that the two games are once again in the spotlight together, fans are bringing up just how much the characters in Among Us and Fall Guys look alike. Last year, when the two games first rose in popularity, there were some noticeable things Among Us and Fall Guys had in common. Namely, it's the brightly colored characters with rounded edges. Otherwise, the two games play very differently and aren't very similar at all. However, given the similarities in appearances, does that mean Among Us and Fall Guys have the same characters?
Among Us & Fall Guys Character Similarities Explained
In appearance, the avatars in Among Us and Fall Guys look a lot alike. Among Us' characters wear brightly colored astronaut suits with visors hiding their faces. Fall Guys features brightly colored characters with plain, white faces. The figures are shaped similarly as well - with rounded heads and hands and feet. Additionally, costumes are a major part of each game, since players can dress up their characters in numerous ways.
Those similarities aside, the characters in Fall Guys and Among Us are not the same. The games are made by two different companies - Mediatonic makes Fall Guys and InnerSloth created Among Us - and are therefore completely separate IPs. While fans may like to theorize the characters from both games are connected, that's not really the case. The gameplay, world, and core mechanics of Fall Guys and Among Us are inherently different, and there's certainly no canonical story connecting the two games.
So, while Fall Guys and Among Us may have similar-looking characters, they're completely different. Still, the upcoming Among Us crossover in Fall Guys is still really exciting, and it should please fans of both games.
