Even the chaos of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout can begin to feel routine once you've competed in a couple hundred rounds, and while some players have taken it upon themselves to keep things fresh, a new brand of mayhem is brewing at Mediatonic beyond the Season 2 stages lined up for October.
Big Yeetus is the answer to everyone who's asked for more variety in the current levels.
I've got a SPICY LEAK for you all

We're working on a little something that we have been calling...

Big Yeetus will randomly appear in levels - to shake things up

A randomly-appearing hazard with a silly name is on-brand for Fall Guys, that's for sure. And if you've ever passed the time in Team Tail Tag by hurling yourself into a swinging hammer, you'll see the appeal.
The game's jovial Twitter account likes to crack jokes, and the lines are often blurred.
Is Big Yeetus just a bit?
A lot of people are doubting that BIG YEETUS is actually real, so here is the receipt

Can we get BIG YEETUS trending on Twitter? pic.twitter.com/AfGbP6UYYS
"Following a deluge of media inquiries, we would like to confirm that we are not offering official press comment on the existence of this so-called 'Big Yeetus,'" Mediatonic later tweeted.
Either way (for the record, I think Big Yeetus is real and should be), I appreciate the other change shown in the clip: cannon-launched fruit on Dizzy Heights. People are too good at dodging the rolling balls.
There's a balance to strike between comfy familiarity and funky freshness. I hope they pull it off.
