Very few of Fall Guys' skins are available without a little hard work, of course, and the Kena: Bridge of Spirits costumes are no exception. Each costume – which comes in two halves – will cost you 10 crowns; 5 for the top and 5 for the bottom.
Even though it's only just celebrated its first birthday, Fall Guys is currently on its fifth season. The latest update introduces a lush jungle theme, which includes the surprising mash-up of Fall Guys and the Jungle Book. The crossover event launched last month and, for a limited time only, introduced skins of Mowgli, Shere Khan, and Baloo, as well as a King Louie costume and other cosmetics, including a new Kaa-themed nameplate and a pattern.
