Fall Guys is beyond 'hit' at this point, so I think it's time we upgraded our verbiage to 'phenomenon'. Everyone's talking about it, including Nier Automata director Yoko Taro, and he wants to bring his world of sad androids into the actually-similar-when-you-think-about-it existential terror of Fall Guys.

As part of a Fall Guys stream celebrating the birthday of Square Enix producer Yosuke Saito, Taro says he wants to do a Nier x Fall Guys collaboration. "I think the machine lifeform costume would be really cute," Taro says, as translated by Mediatonic's own Ed Fear. "Or an Emil head!" Since Fear was already in chat as it happened, it looks like the two studios are on the fast track to make this collaboration a reality.
