FALL GUYS
Battle Royale Obstacle Course Game
Fall Guys (formerly known as Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout) is a
free-to-play platform battle royale game developed by Mediatonic and
published by Epic Games. The game involves up to 40 players who control
jellybean-like characters and compete against each other in a series of
randomly selected mini-games such as obstacle courses or soccer. Players
are eliminated as the rounds progress until, eventually, the last
remaining player is crowned the winner. The game draws inspiration from
game shows like Takeshi's Castle, It's a Knockout, Total Wipeout, and
playground games like tag and British Bulldog.
The game was released by Devolver Digital for PlayStation 4 and Windows
on 4 August 2020. Following their acquisition of Mediatonic, the
publishing rights were transferred to Epic Games. Subsequently, the game
was made free-to-play on 21 June 2022 and released on additional
platforms including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox
Series X/S, with full cross-platform play support among all platforms.
As part of the transition, the game adapted a seasonal battle pass
system for its monetization, offering avatar customizations to players.
