Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout flings hordes of contestants together online in a mad dash through round after round of escalating chaos until one victor remains!

Battle bizarre obstacles, shove through unruly competitors, and overcome the unbending laws of physics as you stumble towards greatness. Leave your dignity at the door and prepare for hilarious failure in your quest to claim the crown!

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout’s broad appeal comes from not taking itself too seriously. In the game, dozens of contestants play together online in a mad dash through round after round of escalating chaos until one victor remains. Contestants compete as colorful little jelly beans as they battle bizarre obstacles, shove through unruly competitors, and overcome the unbending laws of physics as they stumble towards greatness.

Mediatonic has revealed that it will not be able to make its  Summer 2021 timeframe for the Nintendo Switch and Xbox versions, but sweetens the deal by confirming Cross-play is being worked on.

Hello bean fans!

Since day one, we've been dreaming and scheming about ways to make Fall Guys as awesome as it possibly can be. There's a bunch of additions and features we've long felt could elevate our beans to the next level that just haven't been possible… yet! Top of our 'want' list has been crossplay.

As you probably know, Mediatonic recently became part of the Epic Games family. This is something we're super thrilled about, as it now gives our team access to a whole host of new tools to enhance the experience of those who are down with the Crown; from the Blunderdome vets to the first-time stumblers, no matter where you play.

With so many new opportunities now in our hands, we've realised that our previously announced Summer 2021 Switch and Xbox release schedule is unfortunately just too soon for us to include all of the tasty new features we're working on. 

While we want to launch on these platforms as quickly as possible, we believe the Switch and Xbox releases are really going to be worth waiting for and we’re super grateful for your patience. This delay gives our team some time to add features like crossplay, so when we add new platforms, players will be able to stumble in harmony with their pals, regardless of their platform of choice.

Fall Guys will keep rolling out new Seasonal content releases, fresh Shows, Costumes, Rounds and all the other delicious things you know and love. The rapidly approaching Season 4.5 update is no exception, with 2 fiendish new Rounds heading your way, plus delicious Fall fashion for your Season 4 wardrobe.

We don’t have a new date to share right now, but we’re here and we’ll be communicating any updates as soon as we can.

Key Features:

  • Massive Online Pandemonium: Dive into a series of ridiculous challenges and wild obstacle courses with masses of other competitors online, all with the hopes of making the cut and advancing to the next round of mayhem.
  • Competitive & Cooperative: Shift between brutally competitive free-for-alls and cooperative challenges where only the winning team advance to the next round!
  • Comically Physical: Watch in delight as your fellow competitors bend, bounce, and bash their way to hilarious, physics-based failure!
  • Delightfully Customizable: Fail in style with everything from fashionable pineapple couture to the latest in bunny hats available to customize your look in Fall Guys.

Currently available for PS4 and PC, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is coming to Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One in Summer 2021.
