Mediatonic has delayed Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout for the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch to 2022. The game is now available for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC.
"As this is the last season of 2021, we wanted to say a special thanks to everyone in the Fall Guys community," said Mediatonic. "It’s been a wild year for us Tonics: joining the Epic Games family, exploring new features (Custom Lobbies, Squads Mode, Limited Time Events) each season to make Fall Guys even more fun, working with some of our favorite IPs (Sonic, TRON, Among Us, Godzilla (?!)) and all while we’re still learning how to develop games working from home.
"We are hyped because Season 6 brings us closer to our goal of bringing Fall Guys to as many people as possible, with Epic Game Accounts bringing cross-platform progression and then cross-platform play between PlayStation and PC this season. This will take some testing and learning on our part, as we want to make sure we can deliver the best possible experience to players, no matter which platform they prefer to play on. It's also an important step towards bringing Fall Guys to additional platforms.
"We know everyone’s excited about Fall Guy coming to Nintendo Switch and Xbox, with good reason. There's been a lot of speculation on social media connecting these new console releases to the Season 6 launch and we want to clarify that that's not the case so no one’s left confused looking for the game on these platforms. Thank you for being patient with us, it's one of our top priorities in active development and we can't wait to share more details with you in 2022."

Does anyone here still play this game? It was massive when it launched but now I barely hear anything about it.
Yeah, I play it almost every day. Never have a problem finding a game.
Oh it must still be popular. I just hear a lot less about it than games like Fortnite and Among Us.
I was excited when they announced it for the Switch. Then I kinda forgot about it. They're taking to long.

Fall Guys is a game that is a perfect candidate for Game Pass and it would really got a great Holiday push on Xbox and Switch. Seems like Sony time exclusivity ban hammer strike again.
