Fall Guys isn't going anywhere. While the battle royale game isn't quite the sensation it was in summer 2020, Epic Games (the company behind Fortnite and Unreal Engine) acquired Fall Guys developer Mediatonic in early March 2021. That means that we're likely to see even more resources go into the hit elimination game.

There are two trailers currently out: a cinematic one and a gameplay one.

The big news this season is that the game is getting a surprise Among Us crossover. A red crewmate costume is coming to the game, which will be available on day one. Players will need to hit level 26 to get both the top and bottom parts of the costume.

According to IGN, developer Mediatonic implied that the skin isn’t just a cosmetic. It seems that wearing it grants players a specific perk, though it’s a secret for now.

How does the Epic deal affect Fall Guys Season 4?

"Your gameplay isn’t changing and neither is our mission to bring Fall Guys to as many players as possible," says Mediatonic in a press release. "Each season, we’ll continue to expand the game with new content, features, rounds, and costumes."

The only lingering question is whether or not the game will remain on Steam. Mediatonic assures players that it's not going anywhere, though Epic has been known to snatch exclusives away from the platform, For now, players can expect to access Season 4 on Steam like normal. Mediatonic mentions that it's interested in implementing crossplay soon, so perhaps Steam and Epic Games Store users will be able to live in harmony soon.
