The latest Fall Guys going free-to-play and rather belatedly arriving on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox consoles, the game's developers at Mediatonic have already run a few events during the game's rebooted Season 1 to give new players some cosmetics to wear.
Fall Guys was immensely popular when it first launched in 2020, offering players a different take on the battle royale genre. Up to 60 players can compete against each other in a series of mini-games inspired by game shows such as Wipeout and Takeshi's Castle, with fewer and fewer players qualifying past each round until only one jellybean is left victorious. As a result, players can find themselves running through gauntlet-style race rounds, engaging in team sports, and trying to survive a barrage of obstacles while running down the clock in order to survive. In addition, the game has a long history of adding special cosmetics based on well-known video game heroes, with Halo's Master Chief ing Fall Guys, following on the heels of other gaming icons such as Among Us' bean-shaped astronauts, Ratchet and Clank, and Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn.
Some Assassin's Creed-themed items have already made it into Fall Guys, with the game's season featuring the Assassin Ezio as a costume and a Leap of Faith victory celebration. In addition, Odin and Assassin's Creed Valhalla protagonist Eivor are both available in the Fall Guys store, but sadly all of these items require the player to pay to unlock them. However, the Abstergo's Challenge event is free for all players and has a few cosmetics Assassin's Creed fans might want to get their hands on.
How To Complete The Abstergo's Challenge Event in Fall Guys
Unlike some previous Fall Guys limited-time events, the challenges included in the Abstergo's Challenge event can only be completed in Fall Guys' special Sweet Thieves game mode. Sweet Thieves splits 12 players into two teams: Guardians and Thieves, with the Guardians defending stockpiles of candy and trying to catch the Thieves, whose objective is to steal pieces of candy and drop them into holes. In addition, thieves can turn invisible by moving slowly, making this a fitting game mode for an Assassin's Creed-themed event. Abstergo's Challenge features ten challenges:
- Play as a Thief 3 times
- Win as a Thief.
- Play as a Guardian.
- Win as a Guardian
- Carry candy for 30 seconds.
- Carry candy for 75 seconds.
- Grab 5 Thieves.
- Grab 20 Thieves
- Press the button as a Thief
- Win Sweet Thieves 10 times
Much like previous events such as , Abstergo's Challenge is somewhat difficult to complete, even though the event runs until July 11th. The Challenge to win ten games of Sweet Thieves is sure to frustrate a few players, as is the requirement to play as a Thief three times, given that the player is assigned to a team at random. Each completed Challenge gives the player 100 points, with cosmetics available at regular intervals:
- 100 Points – Animus Trainee Nickname
- 300 Points – 200 Kudos
- 500 Points – Apple of Eden Nameplate
- 700 Points – Animus Synchronizing Pattern
- 1000 Points – Apple of Eden Costume Piece
Unfortunately, the player has to complete all ten challenges to get the 1000 points needed for the Apple of Eden Costume. Luckily, players can still get free cosmetics for Fall Guys via Prime Gaming, assuming they have Amazon Prime, and other great costumes are also available for purchase using the game's Kudos currency.
Fall Guys is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, and Nintendo Switch.
