Fall Guys beta nears with release of new gameplay trailer

Sure, this year has already given us our fair share of blockbuster bangers such as DOOM Eternal and Final Fantasy VII Remake. However, with even bigger, AAA…er games on the horizon, Fall Guys has stumbled into our most wanted 2020 shortlist.

Devolver Digital and Mediatonic have just released a brand new trailer for the cheeky, vibrant battle royale title showcasing various modes as well as some of the quirky costumes you can use to dress up your own Fall Guy.

They also teased some new information regarding the upcoming public beta. According to this latest update there will be a series of tests in which players will get a chance to sample a spread of frantic game modes, being thrown into the mix with 59 other contenders.

Currently, there is no date on these beta tests though you can sing up now for a chance to get an early invite via the official Fall Guy website. Game modes will include Door Dash, Tip Toe, Hex-A-Gone, Tail Tag, Hit Parade, Egg Hunt and Fall Mountain.

We went hands on with Fall Guys at Gamescom 2019 – make sure you check out our meaty preview.

In the meantime here’s a handy summary of what to expect:

  • Massive Online Pandemonium: Dive into a series of ridiculous challenges and wild obstacle courses with masses of other competitors online, all with the hopes of making the cut and advancing to the next round of mayhem.
  • Competitive & Cooperative: Shift between competitive free-for-alls and cooperative challenges where the losing team all get eliminated!
  • Comically Physical: Watch in delight as your fellow competitors bend, bounce, and bash their way to hilarious, physics-based failure!
  • Delightfully Customizable: Fail in style with everything from fashionable pineapple couture to the latest in bunny hats available to customize your look in Fall Guys.

Devolver Digital have yet to confirm a launch date for Fall Guys though it will be arriving on PlayStation 4 and PC some time this summer.
