The Beans join the Jedi Order ]]>Many Star Wars fans celebrate May 4, and it’s no surprise that several related announcements are made on this day. This time, Epic and developer Mediatonic have announced a Star Wars collaboration for the multiplayer competitive game Fall Guys.
As part of the collaboration, which runs from May 7 through May 20, players can customize their Beans with outfits worn by iconic characters from the Star Wars franchise. This includes a Han Solo skin that shows him riding on the top of a Millennium Falcon, Chewbacca, Boba Fett’s Mandalorian armor, and a white Stormtrooper outfit. You know, all the classics.

Bean waiting a while already. ]]>The arrival of Fall Guys in Fortnite has been pushed back to the summer as the beans “need more time to cook” before their big debut.
Fortnite‘s addition of Fall Guys was announced in March and provisionally set for a May release, but Epic Games confirmed a delay.

You can have both. ]]>While official plans of its collaboration with Fortnite are still intact, the popular platform battle royale Fall Guys will continue to be available as an independent free-to-play experience as it is right now, an Epic Games spokesperson confirmed on March 20.
First reported by Eurogamer, officials have confirmed that Mediatonic and Epic Games will not stop supporting Fall Guys as a standalone game anytime soon. This announcement comes after Epic revealed its plan to inject the game’s adorable and bouncy beans into Fortnite’s diverse community via the Creative (UEFN) mode.

Let's see Suigi speedrun these.]]>From rhinos on wheels to anti-gravity zones, I thought I’d seen it all in Fall Guys. But I didn’t expect to be playing Bob-omb Battlefield as a bean.
This bizarre mash-up is the product of the Fall Guys Creative community, which uses the game’s Creative mode as a level editor to produce fun and wacky obstacle courses. These particular courses have been a part of an ongoing project for months to reimagine levels from the iconic platformer, Super Mario 64, in the Fall Guys engine.

The game could see some serious changes coming in the future. ]]>Epic Games is laying off a huge chunk of its workforce today as part of a massive internal move to save money and Fall Guys developer Mediatonic is among the most affected. According to multiple reports and several of the impacted employees, Mediatonic has been “decimated” by this cut.
On Twitter and other social media platforms, developers who have spent years working on the game-show battle royale title and other projects at Mediatonic have confirmed they have been laid off by Epic, who acquired the London-based studio in March 2021.

Cowabunga, bean-dudes!]]>Everyone’s favorite amphibious, youthful, non-human martial artists are coming to an Epic Games Store near you in the latest Fall Guys collaboration.
That’s right, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are invading the last-bean-standing party game with some exclusive new cosmetics that will only be available for a limited time, starting on Aug. 17.

These titles took up the most cumulative hard drive space.]]>With 2022 all wrapped up, the releases of both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 dominated the download charts for paid and free-to-play games for PS5 and PS4 worldwide, according to the “PlayStation Store’s top downloads of 2022” blog post.
While CoD didn’t achieve full domination by locking down the No. 1 spot on each and every list, its presence at the top of each list (except for VR games) is indicative of how massive the franchise still is.

Please don't let this be the end.]]>The #SaveFallGuys hashtag has started trending, with numerous tweets coming out in support of the Fall Guys game and asking Mediatonic to fix numerous problems including, but not limited to, skill-based matchmaking.
When it comes to the issue of skill-based matchmaking, or SBMM, the complaints fielded by Fall Guys players are similar to those made in other titles. Namely, players don’t want to be playing a highly competitive or “sweaty” game each time they play because they are always queued against similarly skilled opponents. Other multiplayer games have somewhat solved the issue with a ranked mode while leaving its casual mode free of SBMM, but Fall Guys doesn’t have a ranked or competitive mode.

Get ready for crossovers, Guardian.]]>During Destiny 2’s Lightfall reveal event, Bungie also made the announcement that the game is coming to the Epic Games Store. And to celebrate the Bungie title joining forces with some of the most popular multiplayer games on the market, crossovers are coming to Destiny 2, Fortnite, and Fall Guys.
The collaboration between the three games will see crossover cosmetics released in all of them at different points throughout August and September.
