A new crossover with Assassin's Creed Valhalla will see main character Eivor, as well as the All-Father Odin, come to Fall Guys in the form of new skins.

This new announcement comes after the colorful, quirky take on the battle royale genre became free to play. According to PushSquare, the Odin and Eivor skins will be part of the aptly named Abstergo Challenge. This limited-time event will bring back the Sweet Thieves game mode, which was a fan-favorite mode for a while. The challenge itself will run from July 7-11.
Here is the announcement trailer for the new Assassin's Creed Valhalla-Fall Guys crossover skins:
For the unaware, Sweet Thieves is a game mode where two teams of players fight to either steal treasure or prevent it from being stolen. Those who will be tasked to rob the candy-like treasure from their Guardian protectors will have to be stealthy and cunning - two qualities that you'd expect an assassin to have. The only difference is that there will be no stealthy stabby action.
Here's the official description of the limited-time event from its announcement trailer:
"Complete Abstergo's Challenges to unlock some goodies, including the Apple Of Eden backpack and more. You'll also have the chance to buy the iconic Eivor and Odin in the Fall Guys store. Strap into the Animus and show your stealth skills in the Abstergo's Challenge event, we'll see you in the Blunderdome!"
This Assassin's Creed Valhalla-themed crossover is just the latest out of a series for Fall Guys, who's likely giving Fortnite a run for its money with all the collaborations they sign a deal with. It also likely serves as proof that the latest iteration of Ubisoft's historical stab-a-thon is perhaps its most successful in a long while.
As for Fall Guys, the game itself continues to be a hit. It recently hit 20 million players within days of switching to free-to-play, with developer Mediatonic celebrating the milestone on Twitter:

A Look At Other Great Fall Guys Skins
As previously mentioned, Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Eivor and All-Father Odin are far from the only external characters to be represented within Fall Guys. In fact, they're not even the first ones from Ubisoft's long-running franchise to make an appearance.
Before the Wolf-Kissed and Odin came along, there was already fan darling Ezio Auditore. The Ezio skin was given away for free for everyone on the first day of Fall Guys going free-to-play, writes GamingIntel. Players can get the Ezio skin from the game's premium season pass, where it costs 950 Show-Bucks. Get the season pass, and you'll gain access to everyone's favorite assassin.
A few other great crossover skins came over to Fall Guys, and they're equally as awesome (via Gaming Intel). This includes PlayStation icons Ratchet & Clank, who came with the release of Season 5. There's also a Sonic the Hedgehog skin (released Season 2), the Doomguy/Doomslayer skin (released Season 3), and Ghost Of Tsushima's Jin Sakai (released Season 6) who actually came in two flavors: his base outfit and his outfit as the titular Ghost.
