Video game development company Epic Games has grown steadily in recent years and it looks like they want to keep doing so. On this occasion Epic Games a adquirido Tonic Games Group, the parent company of Mediatonic, known for developing Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout.

Even though Tonic Games Group is now owned by Epic Games, the new owners have already come forward, they said that Fall Guys is not changing and they will continue to support the title on all platforms where the game is available. Although the game may have a few tweaks, which would add features like what we’ve seen in games like Fortnite or Rocket League before, just to improve Fall Guys gameplay.

Some of the new features that could be added are cross play, account systems, squad versus squad mode … and like other titles, could end up being a free gameAlthough at the moment they are just guesswork and it may be a long time before this becomes a reality or even new game modes never arrive.

Xbox and Nintendo Switch gamers will be able to play Fall Guys this summer

Dave Bailey, co-founder and CEO of Tonic Games, said they often say everyone deserves a game they think was created for them and now they feel like they’ve found a home made for them thanks to Epic. Admit that both companies share the same mission, which consists of creating and supporting games that have a positive impact and that despite time continue to resist.

Likewise, Epic founder and CEO Tim Sweeney said he shares the goals of Tonic Games and that they need a great deal of creative talent to improve games, content and experiences in order to offer the best to their players.

Despite the great success of Fall Guys, the game can now bring about a drastic change that will help push the game even further. While it should also be said that being the most downloaded game on PS Plus and having sold over 11 million copies for PC, it maybe doesn’t need a big change. In addition, it must be taken into account that this summer, the game version will be released on Xbox and Nintendo Switch.
