Fall Guys adds a special outfit for Valentine's Day thanks to the individual persistence of one dedicated fan, and their love for Red Pandas.

Valentine's Day is all about love, but love comes in many different forms. Though most are probably thinking about the love they feel for their significant others, close family members, or even best friends, Fall Guys is sharing its love for its players. One player in particular, @TinoTheDunce on Twitter, just received a direct gift from Mediatonic in the form of a new skin. This red panda loving player's one wish has come true, as in celebration of Valentine's Day players can now purchase a Red Panda outfit from the Kudos store. The story behind this fiasco is very amusing.

In Fall Guys, the main ways that players can express themselves are through outfits. Players can pick specific patterns for their bean, change the color scheme it uses, and equip costume pieces to make their beans look unique from others. There's also emotes they can use during the game to further show themselves off as originals. One player wasn't satisfied by this, however, as there was no option to dress up as a Red Panda. Through an impressive display of repeatedly pestering the Fall Guys Twitter account, their wish for Red Pandas in Fall Guys was finally granted.

According to the official Fall Guys Twitter account, @TinoTheDunce messaged the page every single day for the last 165 days asking for Red Pandas to be added to the game. That means that, since September 2 of last year, TinoTheDunce has been on point with messaging regularly about this perceived issue. In response to this, and as a way to show the Fall Guys community some love, a Red Panda skin was finally added to the game for Valentine's Day. This skin isn't just for TinoTheDunce, though, as it is available to all players for just 2000 Kudos.

The video that accompanied the introduction of the Red Panda outfit is even more bizarre, as it showcases all 165 messages sent by TinoTheDunce, with many of them being narrated aloud. At the end of the trailer, the Red Panda outfit is revealed, and fans get to see what it looks like. In the comments, people seem to be loving this story, as it is equally wacky and cool. Developers like MediaTonic are able to truly connect with fans in this way, making the game feel more personal and enjoyable as a result.

This Red Panda outfit is found in the Featured Items section of the shop, and is set to cycle out at the end of the day. Fans wanting to get their hands on this Red Panda costume should do so as soon as possible. Of note, despite being cheap and affordable, this outfit is Legendary in quality. That means it will offer Fall Guys trophy hunters a way to get the Headturner and Catwalk Model trophies if they've been struggling to do that. Most Legendary pieces require crowns to purchase, so this is a nice exception.

In other news, it seems like there is also a Koala outfit coming alongside this one, but it isn't available in the shop as of yet. It may cycle in at the end of the day after the Red Panda leaves the shop, but there's no way to know for certain. Fall Guys will certainly continue to add new outfits, color schemes, and patterns to the game as it continues to grow. At the moment, fans are enjoying its mid season 3 update, and season 4 of Fall Guys is just on the horizon.

Fall Guys is available now on PC and PS4.
