Almost two years after its launch, and a year after the purchase by Epic Games, the company had advanced an important announcement for Fall Guys, with a large event that aimed to mimic the actions of Fortnite. And it is that all the paraphernalia around this “big announcement” seems to have been justified, since Mediatonic has surprised us with the surprise announcement that its popular platform game and Battle Royale will change its model to become a completely free game starting next June 21.
In addition, this re-launch comes with some additional news, which in addition to marking the start of a new season and the arrival of new content, will see the arrival of Fall Guys on Xbox One, Xbos Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch, with full support for cross-play and cross-progression between all platforms.
However, just as it happened with Rocket League, also owned by Epic, although the game will continue to be available and receive all updates, Fall Guys will no longer be available for purchase on Steam once this conversion is done.
As for these new platforms, the Xbox One will have a maximum resolution of 1080p at 30FPS, increased to 1440p at 60FPS for Xbox Series S, and reaching 4K resolution at 60FPS only on Xbox Series X. However, the Switch port will come with a small downgrade to ensure smoother gameplay, limiting the game in handheld mode to 720p 30FPS resolution, increased with docked usage. up to 1080p at 60FPS.
But that is not all. The company also revealed that it is currently in the early stages of developing a level editor, which will offer players the opportunity to create your own wacky levels and share them with the communityin the style of other games like Mario Maker.
Those interested in participating in the re-launch of this game under this new free to play format, will be able to pre-register through Epic Games to receive some extra rewards from day one. Although Mediatonic is also preparing a legacy pack of free content for players who already bought the game initially, as a thank you, with exclusive cosmetics. Lastly, Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will also get some special free costumes.
