Your gameplay isn\u2019t changing and neither is our mission to bring Fall Guys<\/em> to as many players as possible. Each season, we\u2019ll continue to expand the game with new content, features, rounds, and costumes.<\/p>\n
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout<\/em> will remain purchasable on Steam and PlayStation. If you own the game on these platforms, you\u2019ll still be able to play it from there and will receive future updates. We are also still planning to bring Fall Guys to Nintendo Switch and Xbox.<\/p>\n
Fortnite<\/em> and Rocket League<\/em> already have tons of features we\u2019d love to bring to Fall Guys<\/em>\u2014account systems, cross-play, squad vs squad modes, etc\u2026 We\u2019re going to work hard on bringing more of these features to Fall Guys<\/em> too!<\/p>\n

How will this affect the community?<\/strong><\/p>\n
We absolutely love our community and we wouldn\u2019t be in this situation without your continued support.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll stay super close with you, continue to chat with you in the same open and honest way, and continue to take on all of your suggestions and feedback.<\/p>\n
Why did you choose Epic?<\/strong><\/p>\n
We\u2019ve been mutual fans for a while and as we\u2019ve gotten to know the Epic team better, it turns out we have a lot in common and share a lot of the same goals.<\/p>\n
They really love Fall Guys<\/em> and our team at Mediatonic. We\u2019ll continue to be the same team, working on the same game, but we\u2019ll now have the full power of Epic Games to help us take the game to new (dizzying) heights.<\/p>\n
Will you still make the same kind of games in future?<\/strong><\/p>\n
We\u2019re proud of Mediatonic\u2019s creative culture and this is something that Epic really values too. We\u2019re focused on creating games that empower our players, create joy, and bring people together to have fun, and we couldn\u2019t be more excited about the opportunities ahead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAt Tonic Games Group we often say that \u2018everyone deserves a game that feels like it was made for them.\u2019 With Epic, we feel like we have found a home that was made for us. They share our mission to build and support games that have a positive impact, empower others and stand the test of time and we couldn\u2019t be more excited to be joining forces with their team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paul Croft, Tonic Games Group Co-Founder and Chief Games Officer<\/strong><\/p>\n
\u201cBeyond the shared vision among our teams, we see tremendous potential in combining forces with Epic. Whether it\u2019s about making our own games the best they can be or empowering other game developers to take their content from a kernel of an idea to commercial success, we know that together we will be able to reach greater heights.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tim Sweeney, Epic Games Founder and CEO<\/strong><\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s no secret that Epic is invested in building the metaverse and Tonic Games shares this goal. As Epic works to build this virtual future, we need great creative talent who know how to build powerful games, content, and experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n
