The beans have new friends in Buzz and Woody, as these two characters arrive in aFall Guys–Toy Storycrossover this week. The officialTwitter pageannounced the news on Monday. Epic Games has provided no specific timing. This comes shortly after the announcement of a price hike of the in-game currency Show-Bucks last week.
It seems likely that thisFall GuysToy Storycrossover may replace thecurrent Fame Pass, which hasFinal Fantasy XIVcharacters running around in this unusual battle royale. If you are reading this on Monday, you still have time to get the Fame Pass and unlock at least some of the characters like the Fat Chocobo.
According toEpic Games, the price of Show-Bucks will be going up on October 27 for the United States and other territories. For example, you’ll need to pay $8.99 for 1,000 Show-Bucks. Thankfully, it seems like thisToy Storypromotion could arrive before that timeframe.
The bump in Show-bucks also arrives in the wake oflayoffs at parent company Epic Games. Last week, it cut 16% of its workforce, around 830 employees.
“For a while now, we’ve been spending way more money than we earn, investing in the next evolution of Epic and growingFortniteas a metaverse-inspired ecosystem for creators,” said Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney in anofficial blog post. “I had long been optimistic that we could power through this transition without layoffs, but in retrospect I see that this was unrealistic.”
Epic Games and Disney have collaborated before
It hasn’t been fully confirmed yet how these layoffs have affected the Mediatonic team. But theFall Guyspublisher Epic Games and Disney have collaborated many times.Fall Guyshas previously featured characters fromEncantoandThe Jungle Book.InFortnite,you’re able to play asStar Warsheroes like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. We’ve also been able to shoot foes as Captain America and The Hulk inFortnite.
Disney continues to keepToy Storyin the limelight. Back in June 2023, the kart racerDisney Speedstormadded Buzz, Woody, Jessie, and Bo Peep in its second season. That game currently hasAladdincharactersyou can unlock.
With all these crossovers, it makes you wonder if we’ll hear more about the fifthToy Storymovie soon.
