In case you haven’t heard, Fall Guys is gearing up for Season 2 and will be introducing a slew of new game rounds, cosmetic items, and features. This follows the game’s launch back in August and its subsequent skyrocketing popularity, becoming the most downloaded PlayStation Plus game EVER.
Announced back in August, Fall Guys developer Mediatonic announced that the game’s second season would rock a medieval theme so expect plenty of knights, castles, and dragons. The studio have since confirmed that it will be launching later this week on October 8th.
For those confused by a previous in-game message stating that Fall Guys Season 1 would end on October 5th, Mediatonic have since clarified in the following tweet:
To hopefully answer some of your questions around dates:
? The countdown in the game says Season 1 will end 5th October. We’re changing this.
? Season 1 will now end 8th October.
? Season 2 will start 8th October.
? From 5th October until 8th October – Double fame points!— Fall Guys ? (@FallGuysGame) October 4, 2020
We’ve yet to get a full list of everything that will be introduced when Fall Guys Season 2 touches down on October 8th though here’s an official sneak peak:
Fall Guys Season 2 will bring the dragon fire with feudal fortresses, knockout knights and pugilistic paladins among new additions coming this October. A full season of new costumes, emotes and more will reward players as they lay siege to the Middle Ages.
7 Fall Guys tips & tricks to help you win more Crowns
Some bonus features we’ve learned of in the build up to Season 2 are the inclusions of customisable nametags, randomised costumes/skins, and more Crowns being added as season rewards. Crowns are used to purchase some of the rarer items in Fall Guys – you’ll get one for each episode (match) you win. This makes them pretty hard to come by, so Mediatonic will be slipping some into the game’s battle pass.
Some Fall Guys fans may be worrying that any locked rewards from Season 1 will be lost forever. Here’s the dev’s official response:
There’s a chance they’ll come back one day – but for now, better to assume they will be gone forever ?

It seems very likely that these rewards will return at some point, perhaps being added to the in-game shop. This is a common occurrence in online games which have a similar battle pass system of unlocks.
