Eivor and Odin are Sneaking into Fall Guys During the Abstergo Challenge Event

Odin the All-Father, Eivor Wolf-Kissed

Fall Guys has been pumping on all cylinders lately. The colourful battle royale recently went free-to-play, leading to a massive influx of players, although the new model has led to some unforeseen progression issues.

Today we learned that a new event is in the offing. It's called the Abstergo Challenge, and it brings back a fan-favourite game mode (Sweet Thieves) and introduces iconic skins from Assassins Creed: Valhalla in the form of Odin the All-Father and protagonist Eivor Wolf-Kissed.

In Sweet Thieves, players are divided into two teams. The Thieves must use stealth, guile, and all manner of chicanery to rob candied treasures from the Guardians, who must attempt to stop them.

You can see how this fits the Assassins Creed schtick, although no stealth kills are allowed. There will be new challenges to complete, skins to unlock, and cosmetics to work towards.

The Abstergo Challenge will run from 7-11 July.

I'm a big fan. Play it as my light end of work day thing. But the new model sucks to a degree. All the good cosmetics are now by show bucks and they take forever to earn or you can purchase them.

Can't win them via finishing in 1st like the old crowns did.

@DrunkenEagle92 That is the biggest problem for me too. Big fan of the game platinum included but the monetization of the game is just too damn aggressive for me and if it wasn't for the fact that they gave us the battle pass and i can complete it without having to play all day (currently lvl 51) i would stop playing, watching a skin i earned with wins in $9 was just too much and now the halo package is $20 as much as the price of the game before going free to play. The days of winning awesome skins like Astrobot and Clank are long gone.

The Master Chief challenges were so disappointing: ‘Here are some meagre rewards (don’t forget to buy the skin in the item shop!)’.

This event will probably be the same and I refuse to spend £7 a pop on Fall Guys skins.

Kudos are pretty much worthless now. I think this will be the last season of Fall Guys I’ll be playing, sadly.

I don't mind that I paid for the game and now it's free to play. But some of the things they did were a slap in the face to long time players. The removal of crowns for costumes was one, downgrading peoples Epic and Legendary items was another. Some of us worked hard to win games to FINALLY be able to have enough crowns to get that sweet Legendary. Now you can just buy them with real $$$. Sqad games are garbage now too. Sometimes you can play 20 games in a row before you make it past the first round because your teammate(s) are horrible. If you're THAT bad of a player, please play solo. No one wants you on their team.
