Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout has become one of the hottest titles in gaming since its recent launch at the beginning of the month. So many brands have gone out of their way to secure a collaboration with the trendy new game. As such, developer Mediatonic announced via the official Twitter handle of the title that because “the thirst for brands is unreal”, it is hosting a virtual bidding war where the highest bidder gets a skin in the game. All proceeds will go to UK-based charity Special Effect, which targets gamers with physical disabilities.
Entitled “Battle of the Brands”, the contestant states that after two weeks, the highest bidder will win their very own costume within the popular video game after completing legal paperwork and completing the donation. “If we decide that your brand is offensive / inappropriate, we will release your banner and choose the next highest,” the developers assured their community, ensuring Fall Guys gamers maintain a healthy fanbase.
The makers of Warframe were high bidders at $ 20,000 USD before Bisect Hosting raised the bet to $ 38,880 USD. The highest bidder so far is G2 Esports at $ 130,003 USD. Steelseries also said it would reach out to Special Effects and make a donation of its own. Other brands so far mentioned were Wendy’s, Domino’s Pizza, Walmart, en KFC, the latter of which also submitted their own mock-ups designs.
Now look at the ongoing thread.
