In a crossover no one saw coming, Fall Guys has released a costume of its own community manager, and even the game's worst players can purchase the skin thanks to its cheap price in the item shop. The price does not reflect Oliver Hindle's performance on the game's official Twitter account, as his social media prowess is one of the main reasons Fall Guys has seen such great and sustained success.
Oliver Hindle, also known as OliverAge24 on Twitter, has mastered the art of managing a video game's community. Since the game's release in August, various Fall Guys related phrases have made it to the trending page on Twitter. Hindle's down-to-earth approach to community management has garnered thousands of pieces of fan art which have turned into actual game lore. Brands, businesses, and other game developers have flocked to Fall Guys for collaborations. Hindle even started a million-dollar bidding war for charity with the reward being an in-game skin.
To reward Hindle's valiant efforts as the community manager for Fall Guys, Devolver Digital and Mediatonic announced the official OliverAge24 Fall Guys costume. The costume is available in the in-game store for the next 24 hours, and the developers have made it so everyone has a chance to purchase the skin. Usually, when a special skin like this is released it costs a total of 10 Crowns for the entire set, but the OliverAge24 skin can be purchased with Kudos.
Kudos are Fall Guys' easiest form of currency to obtain. A player earns Kudos after every round even if they are the first jelly bean to be eliminated. Additionally, players can purchase Kudos for real money. The accessibility of Kudos makes it easy for every Fall Guys player, even the absolute worst, to purchase the OliverAge24 skin. This also means that every bean for the next week will be donning a luscious head of hair and thick silky beard, but the costume will only be around until tomorrow morning.
While the Oliver skin does come as a surprise, it doesn't feel out of place or offbeat for Mediatonic. Fall Guys' developers have added things like Big Yeetus and Thicc Bonkus to their loveable party game, and OliverAge24 has done his best to promote every silly addition. It's fair to say that Fall Guys' community manager has set the bar for video games community managers, and he is more than deserving of his very own skin... even if everyone will be wearing it.
Fall Guys is available now on PS4 and PC.
