Ninja and G2 Esports are getting their own Fall Guys skins
They raised US$1M for charity!
After a two-week “bidding war,” a winner has emerged from Mediatonic’s campaign to raise money in exchange for a special, custom-branded skin for Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. Or rather, winners have emerged.
???? BIDDING IS FINISHED ????THE WINNERS ARE:@G2esports@Ninja@AimLab@MrBeastYTWith a combined donation of $1,000,000 for@SpecialEffectProbably the spiciest team up since The Avengers??????https://t.co/Q2G3h9UyDh
Streaming superstar Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, in collaboration with G2 Esports, FPS training game Aim Lab, and YouTuber Jimmy “Mr. Beast” Donaldson, have pooled together US$1 million to donate to Special Effect, the designated beneficiary of the fund drive. Special Effect is a UK-based nonprofit that enables persons with disabilities to play and enjoy video games using customized gaming peripherals.

Ninja, G2 Esports, Aim Lab, and Mr. Beast will each get their own specially designed Fall Guys skin as a reward for their generosity.
Ninja earlier teamed up with Aim Lab to put together a bid of US$420,069. However, bids kept coming in as the donation drive’s August 31 deadline approached, knocking them off the top spot. At the last minute, with thetop bid at US$510,000, Ninja dropped this announcement:
Been thinking… since it is for charity and the goal IS to raise as much as possible for@SpecialEffective decided to team up with@G2esports@MrBeastYTand@aimlabfor a combined donation of $1,000,000 for the@FallGuysGamebid!
There aren’t any final designs yet for the specially branded skins, but Aim Lab and G2 Esports appear to have some ideas:

Aim Lab continues to be in a giving mood, offering US$2,500 for the best design pitch for their branded Fall Guys skin.

And it looks like the sheer joy of playing Fall Guys has inspired the benefactors to give even more. Ninja has announced that a Fall Guys charity stream — featuring himself, G2, Aim Lab, and Mr. Beast — is in the works to raise more money for Special Effect.
