Fall Guys – Ver. ??? (Survival Update)

  • Release date: February 27th 2024 (North America, Europe, Japan)
  • Patch notes:
MORE POWER TO YOU!
With great power(ups) comes great responsibeanity…

Invisibility
Beans being seen? The Invisibility power-up will take care of that, allowing devious players to vanish from view. We can’t wait to see (or not see) the Rounds you make with this.

Party Crasher
This projectile Rhino allows players to change the game. Firing our rhino-shaped friend will blast it in a straight line, where it will either detonate after a number of seconds, or explode if a Bean gets too close!

LIKE AND SURVIVE
Build survival rounds with falling floors and prepare for some honest feedback…

Despawning Tiles
Add disappearing hex-a-tiles to your Creative rounds, which will vanish after a set time, or when a clumsy Bean steps on one. They’ll be hex-a-gone!

Elimination Zones
No Round will be safe with the new Elimination Zones. Resizable, rotatable, placeable zones that end the game for any Bean who wanders into them in Survival Game Mode, or respawns the player in a Race Game mode.

Individual Start Points in Survival Rounds
Select where players will be plunked down at the start of a Round!

Survival Rounds
With all these additions, now’s the perfect time to add Survival Rounds into Creative. Build levels that will leave just one Bean standing, or more than one, it’s really up to you!

Likes for Creative Rounds
Fun fact: Beans have thumbs, so we’re putting them to use. Players can now like or dislike Creative Rounds they’ve played. This lets creators know how popular their rounds are!

Blast Balls in Creative Rounds
You heard that right! Our chaotic, fun and explosive Blast Balls are now available in Creative, meaning you can add these ticking time bombs to your own Creative Rounds!

We’re excited to see what chaos you can create with our Survival Update and we may even feature some of your treacherous designs in the future. No tags needed, build your Survival Round, publish and we’ll find it! Slime certainly encouraged!

NEW FASHION WITH THIS FAME PASS
Admire the big teeth of the Granny Wise Wolf Costume, but don’t get too close! Keen to be green? Be a taped-up Tyrannosaur in the Homemade Rex Costume, and we’ve no doubt you’ll grow frond of the Legit Leafage Costume.

We’re not kitting: the Mew Mew Bot Costume is a bionic blasterpiece. There’s more to the Rubber Duckie Costume than a plastic mallard. It comes with a sudsy bath and towel as well.

Wear the glowing Neon Bones Costume and discover that beauty is more than skin deep. And finally, you’ll flip out for the Lobster Tail Wearable. All that plus emotes, celebrations, kudos, Show-Bucks and more!

Make space in your wardrobe! Our new Fame Pass is about to drop, it’ll be available from 10AM GMT 5th March!

  • Primitives: These pleasantly geometric objects—think cones, cubes, and more—are here to give Builder Beans simple additions to their Creative vision.
  • Stickers: Decorate your Creative Rounds with a fun-tastic collection of stickers in a variety of shapes and colours! With size and colour customization, make your mark on your Creative Rounds.

You’ll wow them all with the Gorilla A-Peel Costume. The Gently Giraffey Costume is a towering treat—it’s 50% neck! Kit yourself out with one of two big cat Costumes.

Want to be seen? Pop on the colourful Masterful Morpher Costume and be the most visible chameleon ever! Our Fame Pass freebies are a petting zoo of fun.

  • Release date: November 7th 2023 (North America, Europe, Japan)
  • Patch notes:

The ‘Tool Up’ Update doubles the Fall Guys Creative building budget from 1,000 to 2,000! That means builder Beans can craft far more elaborate Rounds with extra obstacles, additional decorations, and more. If you’ve ever had an idea for a devious design that was just too big for the Blunderdome, well, there’s now way more room for activities!

New Soundtracks in Creative
To help you get a tune out of Fall Guys Creative… We’ve added some music. Players now have a selection of official tracks that they can add to their Creative Rounds!

Object Overlapping
You will now have the option to overlap any obstacle in Creative allowing you to flex your creativity even more whilst building your next masterpiece to share with the Blunderdome!

We have listened to your feedback and prepared a new Shuffle Show except this time you will be playing with others! Jump into the show from today and play through Creative made Rounds with up to 10 other players – good luck!

 

THE FABULOUS FEAST FAME PASS
 
Dress up for some culinary adventures with the Fabulous Feast Fame Pass, a food-themed buffet of Costumes to unlock to suit every palate. The tantalising takeaway is available from 10AM GMT 7th November to 10AM GMT 12th December.The Hot and Fresh Costume is an a-dough-able pizza slice to wear. Toppings include pepperoni and hugs. Cooler heads might like the Melon Slush Costume. It’s a colourful cup with swirls and straw, and looks so tasty!The Sweet or Salty Costume has both flavours of popcorn, in bucket pants or atop your head, so no need to choose!

Guac a load of the Avo-Guy-Do Costume, a ripe outfit that’s a half avocado sliced to the pit. It’s the perfect accompaniment to the Chipper Costume, a full bag of crisps that look good enough to dip.

You won’t spill anything in the Baked Beans Costume, despite being a full can with an open lid. We’re also far too amused with the bean-inspired Toot Emote. Yes, it’s a parp.

Our free Wearables are snack-sized unlocks for everyone. Look pan-tastic in the Stainless Helmet, go head over meals for the Chef Hat, or look a-peel-ing in the Banana Boots.

Fall Guys – Ver. ??? (Fall Force Update)

  • Release date: September 27th 2023 (North America, Europe, Japan)
  • Patch notes:

NEW ITEMS THAT PACK A PUNCH!

 
Throwing you in at the deep end, we’ve got a load of obstacles for you to create with. Builder Beans get some new toys to play with in Fall Guys Creative! We’re particularly pleased about the Carriable Punching Block for obvious reasons. Drumroll please!Buttons and Pressure Plates
Get switched on with the new Buttons and Pressure Plates. Buttons can be pressed to activate items in the level, while Pressure Plates need to be held down. Both can activate Fans, Conveyor Belts, and Bean Barriers. What’s that? We don’t have Bean Barriers?Bean Barriers
We do now. A Bean Barrier can act as a wall or a bridge, depending on the orientation. They can be turned on and off, opening or blocking paths, and create terrifying bridges that can be flicked off.Speed Arches
These Speed Arches will speed up anything that passes through them. Anything. They’ll blast Beans across the level, and if you throw an item into them, like a Carriable Puncher, the fist will go flying.Carriable Punching Block
The handsome, handheld Carriable Puncher is a portable fist capable of booping opponents away and boosting Beans with an uppercut to higher platforms. It’s objectively hilarious.

Background Selector
A Background is the backdrop of the level, an environmental wallpaper that covers the vast sky in the Blunderdome with delightful designs. You now have five to choose from when making your Rounds, using the Background Selector. The designs are:

  • Original
  • Digital
  • Medieval
  • Future
  • Falloween

Go on, get building!

REJOICE! OLD ROUNDS AND NEW!

GET HALLOWEIRD WITH THE TRICK OR YEET FAME PASS!

 
The Trick or Yeet Fame Pass will help pack the Blunderdome with fanciful, fearsome fancy dress.Highlights include the gnawsome Bat-Tastic Costume for bitey Beans. The Buff Guy Costume that adds insta-muscles without the workout. Scary never looked cuter than the Bad Beast or Pawly Repaired Costumes.Rising from the depths is the Clockwork Calamari Costume, while the Squawks Sprockets Costume sees all. Not from above, but with its cool goggles. The Jack-o-Lantern Wearable looks gourdeous, too!With Emotes and more free Wearables, it’s a seasonal bounty of a Pass, available from 10AM GMT 3rd October to 10AM GMT 7th November

A couple of quality of life changes will make lobbies more fun, and the camera more manoeuvrable. No need to keep your emotions in check—we’ve unlocked the ability to emote in the lobby. Kick every Round off with a dance party or pose-a-thon while waiting for the game to begin.We added one of the most requested changes to Fall Guys, the ability to look up!

Challenges

We have also removed Marathon challenges for the foreseeable future.

Duos Changes

Team Rounds will no longer be present in Duos mode, but will remain in Squads.

 
FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS
  • Previously, players were able to exploit FPS on a computer and get “speed boosts” when using drums on levels like Lily Leapers. We have significantly reduced the ability to do this

  • Shortened intro cams on rounds that had the longest intros

  • Fixed instances where the final picture would not display for players in Pixel Perfect
  • Improved instances where Hex tiles would not despawn on all Hex levels

  • Known issues:
  • Key Binding! If you’re finding some weirdness with your controls in the Level Editor (maybe you have a key bound to 2 things, or you’re unable to open the menu, or you have keyboard inputs on console) reset your Key Bindings to default in Controller Settings! This should solve it for you right away. If you had custom settings, you can put them back straight after you reset to default and save.
  • Blank screen after entering and exiting the Level Editor in the main menu. We are investigating this for a fix as soon as we can, but restarting your game should fix this instantly.

Fall Guys – Ver. ???

  • Release date: November 22nd 2022 (North America, Europe) / November 23rd 2022 (Japan)
  • Patch notes:

No patch notes available. This update brings the following:

  • Fixes the following issues:
    • Kraken Slam was missing a Gold Medal description on the loading screen on Let’s Get Kraken
    • Time Attack Shuffle was incorrectly awarding Bronze medals for first place.
  • Known issues:
  • Some players are finding that when they equip an emote & enter a game, the emote defaults to the previously equipped one. We’re fixing this for a future release! To work around this in the meantime, press the “equip” button on a different slot after equipping a new emote!
  • When playing a Time Attack Show, you can restart your attempt at any time! Some players may not see a key bound to it automatically. Check your key bindings in Settings -> Reset Run (Time Attack only)!
  • Nintendo Switch players may find that sometimes when they go to cross the finish line, something invisible blocks them. We are working on a fix for a future release, sorry about this and thank you for your patience!
  • Some players are finding that costumes are loading in with a delay when starting a Show! This is being worked on, but costumes should load fully once the Round starts and a little time has passed. We find it most in Rounds with more than 25 players.

  • Patch notes:
NEW ROUNDS AND OBSTACLES!
Sunken Secrets features 5 brand new Rounds at launch, plus brand new obstacles and Round variations!        

  • Blastlantis: Blastlantis is built from the wrecked ruins of an old obstacle course. Beans will need their sea legs under them to stay afloat the tilting pathways while being pelted with Blast Balls.
  • Hoop Chute: Skifall successor Hoop Chute requires the ultimate belly flop to win! It’s a long flume ride where you Dive Slide down the slick path, weaving through hoops to pile up points. Golden hoops are worth triple!
  • Puzzle Path: Find yourself drawn to mazes? Puzzle Path has four labyrinths for you to navigate, one after the other. Follow the lines, avoid the other Beans, and make it over the finish line. But stay alert! The route isn’t ever the same!
  • Kraken Slam: Rickety rafts are all that keep you from the depths of the ocean in Kraken Slam. Tentacles rise from the depths to smash at you, while fellow contestants stomping across the rafts will cause holes to form underfoot, and allow more tentacles to rise. Avoid a calamari calamity to take the Crown.
