Fall Guys developer Mediatonic has been consistent with its updates for the popular battle royale game, and it seems like the studio has made some more fan-requested changes. A new patch for the game that went live last night has made the newest Fall Guys stages more prevalent, something fans have asked for since the beginning of season 2.
Fall Guys’ newest stages include an intense new race called Knight Fever, which has quickly become one of the hardest levels in the game, and the well-designed but frustrating Wall Guys mini-game. Along with Egg Siege and Hoopsie Legends, the four games are designed to shake things up for long-time players. The stages can only succeed in doing that if they are being played, however, so Mediatonic’s new update to make them appear in the rotation more often is a wise one.
Another change within the Fall Guys update sees something tweaked in the opposite way of the medieval maps, as nameplates and nicknames will become less prevalent in the item shop going forward. While the addition of player cards and titles has been well-received, the items were becoming a bit too prevalent within the in-game shop. The new Fall Guys season 2 costumes should be easier for players to acquire now, as nameplates and nicknames should only be seen occasionally as opposed to all the time with the game’s store.
The last major note provided with the update is that the new Fall Guys show Slime Survivors is officially part of the game. While players may initially read the title and think that it only includes slime climb, rest assured that the mode offers a variety of Fall Guys’ survival stages. The final stages offered are Jump Showdown and the game’s most popular level, Hex-A-Gone. With a good lineup of popular stages, Slime Survivors is likely to become a popular show among the game’s fans.
Mediatonic recently promised that there will be many more experimental modes in Fall Guys going forward. Gauntlet Showdown was the first new show to join Fall Guys, with the special mode offering only the game’s races as playable stages. The only downside of the mode is that it has only one final stage in Fall Mountain, an issue Slime Survivors seems to rectify. With no new final showdown being present among season 2’s medieval stages, an experimental mode with only the new stages seems unlikely.
Regardless, players should be climbing castle walls in Fall Guys more often going forward. With Mediatonic also promising auto-spectating and stage redesigns in a Fall Guys update some time down the road, the future seems bright for the adorable collection of party games.
Fall Guys is available now on PC and PlayStation 4.
