The crazy Fall Guys goes under the thumb of Epic Games and at the same time becomes completely free-to-play. Add to that a new season of content and you have the little event at the end of June.
[Mis à jour le 20 juin 2022 à 17h33] With its eleven million copies sold in less than six months, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout has quickly become the small phenomenon of 2020. Developed by Mediatonic and published by Devolver Digital, the friendly “Battle Royale” has established itself in the video game landscape in a sustainable way, attracting the lust of the giant Epic Games. By acquiring Mediatonic in 2021, Epic therefore offered itself the right of ownership to Fall Guys and very recently announced the game’s transition to free-to-play. In concrete terms, don’t buy Fall Guys anymore, you will find it tomorrow for free on the Epic Games Store on PC and on all console stores.
Fall Guys is going totally free
After Epic Games took over Mediatonic a year ago, speculation was rife about the future of Fall Guys. We seriously wondered when it would become completely free-to-play. Because Epic Games has a knack for making essential titles free. We obviously remember the treatment of Rocket League, bought by Epic to be offered exclusively and for free on the Epic Games Store. Well this Monday, Epic Games announced the passage of Fall Guys in free-to-play on June 21. Concretely, the little game will be removed from Steam to be offered exclusively and for free on the Epic Games Store. Reminds you of something?
What if you’ve already purchased Fall Guys?
Mediatonic has of course not forgotten all the players who have already purchased Fall Guys in the past two years. The studio decided to reward them by providing them with an in-game content pack, named Legacy Pack. It will include rare cosmetics and access to the game’s first Season Pass, which will begin with Fall Guys Season One, soon. The game will also keep its free progression system and its currency, the Kudos.
Fall Guys is coming to Nintendo Switch and Xbox consoles
The other announcement that marked Monday evening from Epic Games and Mediatonic was the arrival of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout on Nintendo Switch and Xbox consoles (Xbox One, Series X and Series X) on the 21st. next June. The game will be completely and free of charge accessible from the Xbox Store and the Nintendo Store as soon as it becomes free-to-play. We also know that a version specially designed for the Playstation 5 should soon appear.
