The latest Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout update is a major one that brings new course variations and the confirmation of the Big Yeetus' existence.
This update, which was teased as coming soon, is out now and brings many new changes to the game's usual rotation of minigames. Mediatonic says that dozens of new obstacles have been added alongside fresh rotations and even more tumbling fruit.

"With this latest patch, you will quickly start to see that all is not what it seems in The Blunderdome," a blog post about the update reads. "Familiar favorites will have to be tackled in all new ways, with the addition of dozens of obstacles, dizzying random rotations and of course, plenty of tumbling fruit. And what's more, players will have no idea when these changes will occur — no bean's dignity shall be spared!"
Mediatonic said it's leaving most of the changes a mystery for players to discover but teased that door patterns on Gate Crash may "end up all kinds of wavey," and that turntables could "turn the tide in an unpredictable take on Fall Ball." The studio also said that approaches to See-Saw will need to be tweaked and that turnstiles in Hit Parade will behave differently now.
"Since the very beginning, we've been keeping a keen ear out for feedback from the community and implementing hot-fixes and tweaks to improve the Fall Guys experience," the blog post reads. "This major mid-season patch continues this quest! You can expect changes to enhance server stability, nifty VFX improvements and a whole lot more to make Fall Guys just that little bit smoother."

The final piece of this update is the confirmation of the Big Yeetus. Mediatonic said they're aware of the many rumblings across the Fall Guys community about a "certain large and rather aggressive hammer obstacle, rumored to be bringing future physics wildness to Fall Guys." The studio said it can't share all the details yet but that the hammer obstacle is, in fact, called the Big Yeetus.
