Star Trek has come to Fall Guys and it’s all thanks to Spock.

Star Trek has seen a pretty big revival in recent years. While it isn’t as popular as it was at the height of its 90s run, this is arguably the second biggest boom period the franchise has ever seen. Games are back, action figures are back, films are (maybe) back, and Star Trek is even bringing back over-saturated shows.

It’s just like the peak of Star Trek all over again.

The one new thing that Star Trek is seemingly doing is more cross-promotion. This isn’t something we’ve seen a lot of from the franchise over the years and now a crossover with the hit video game Fall Guys has brought three of the biggest characters ever to the world of battle royale.

Fans can now purchase Nyota Uhura, Worf, or Spock himself to play as in Fall Guys. You can also purchase a USS Enterprise backpack or a Beam Me Up celebration from the in-game Fall Guys store.

Sadly, Spock won’t be available for direct purchase, you’ll have to get him via the Fall Guy’s season pass, which will also come with a Borg mask.

What is Fall Guys?

Fall Guys is a free-to-play video game where you attempt to survive various obstacles until you’re the last one left. It’s a Battle Royale game but unlike Fall Guys’ brother-game, Fortnite, it’s not a game that involves weapons or battling one another. It’s a game that basically puts you on a digital gameboard and has you do your best to stay on the gameboard without falling off.

It’s a fun affair that may even appeal to older fans.

The game is free to play but you have to purchase the outfits to put your character in. It’s how they make their money, but the game itself is free.
