FALL GUYS

Guys. [...] That’s a big focus for

the team right now: [...] making sure

that we have this constant flow of new

rounds into the game.”

Mediatonic revealed season two’s

Medieval theme during Opening Night

Live at this year’s Gamescom. New

costumes allow you to dress up as a

knight, dragon, mage, or your own

fantastical, pseudo-middle-ages

combination. Your adventurous beans

must drop drawbridges, buffet siege

ramps, and avoid swinging axes in

rounds styled as epic knightly quests.

But, when it comes to the future of

Fall Guys, the age of chivalry is far

from where the story ends.

UNITED WE FALL

Walsh tells us the team are listening

to the community. “People are really

excited about having new ways to play.

So we hear a lot of people just want

to race gauntlets all day, those are

their favourite rounds. We hear people

want to play a squads mode where

you win or lose as teams [....] We

hear that a lot of people would really

love crossplay between PlayStation

and PC. And, you know, we haven’t

got concrete plans in place yet. A lot

of things are in flux, but those are the

types of things that we’re looking at

when we’re looking at the big things

that we can add to Fall Guys to keep

things interesting.”

However, the team will maintain a

focused approach to developing

updates. Walsh explains, “For every

single round in Fall Guys, [you will

find] an army of people who think it’s

the best round [...] and an army of

people who think it’s the worst [...]

and it’s a big learning process as a

team to not immediately jump on

feedback that you see and also to

make sure that you gain a measured,

balanced view of the situation before

you make any drastic changes.”

Proof that OPM readers can be very naughty beans

Lead designer Joe

Walsh admits “I do

the odd finish-line

grab myself,” and

tells us player

shenanigans are

here to stay. On

social media we

asked what’s the

worst thing you’ve

done in a match.

And you said...

“I drop

to the

bottom

of

Hex-A-Gone

and remove as

much as possible

while watching

everyone else fall

through the gaps

I’ve made.”

@ChazzH69

“When

I’m losing

in Fall

Ball and I

know I’m not going

to win due to being

put on an uneven

team, I start

scoring goals in

my own goal.”

@DeejBruce

“Someone grabbed me in the

first round, so I kept trying to

sabotage him/her every round.

[...] Team Tail Tag they were on

my team, See-Saw made them miss out

on the top 20%, Jump Club kept grabbing

them but they survived every time. When

Hex-A-Gone came I just followed, grabbed

and made us both hit the slime first!”

“I AM

LOVING

THIS

GAME.

But the worst

thing I do is not

co-ordinating my

outfit. Cactus

top with a

pigeon bottom?

MONSTER.”

“NEW COSTUMES ALLOW

YOU TO DRESS UP AS A

KNIGHT, DRAGON, OR MAGE.”

The fabulously furry

Big Bad Wolf costume

was only available

during launch week.

Our top tip for Hit Parade: you can see where

the wrecking balls are by their shadows.

“One guy

tried to

grab me

early in

a match on the

moving walls level

so I just grabbed

him back and

doomed us both.”
