Fall Guys Season 2 Launches October 8

Season 2 of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout launches next week on Oct. 8. Devolver Digital published Fall Guys on Aug. 4, and it has found much success as a battle-royale that pits 60 players through a number of colorful and fast-paced challenges in a TV game show-esque format. Developer Mediatonic announced Season 2's medieval-themed back in August, but we didn't get a release date at the time of Season 2's announcement. We now know it's coming to PS4 and PC next week. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=fall-guys-season-2-first-look&captions=true"] "BEAN SPILLING POST," a tweet from the official Fall Guys Twitter reads. "Announcing dates always feels like you're cursing things, but it's Halloween month, so let's get cursed! Season 2 launches on Thursday 8th October." Not only is Season 2 coming Oct. 8, but from now until the beginning of Season 2, fame points earned for competing in Fall Guys will be doubled. You earn fame points by advancing through each match's many rounds and by ultimately winning the entire match as the last bean standing. The amount of points accrued is now double what you're used to and it will remain that way until next Thursday.
