Fall Guys mid-season update adds remixed levels and a giant hammerYeet those beans.

Yeet those beans.

Fall Guys, evidently, did not have enough hammers in it. With a few weeks still to go before the game goescastle crashing into its next season, Mediatonic are bringing out the toolkit for a mid-season update. Today’s patch shakes up the bouncy battle royale with remixed levels and the irregular appearance of a colossal spectral mallet called “Big Yeetus”.

Today’s update effectively brings two hammers down onFall Guys' wobbling bean-folk - a well-deserved banhammer for the cheats, and Timmy Mallett’s ghostly gavel for everyone else.

Today’s update doesn’t add any new rounds, but it has brought a few twists to familiar stages. Gauntlets like See Saw and Hit Parade may now arrive with new barriers, rotated platforms, and bowls of fruit tipped over the course. A few other games have been given smaller changes - notably, lowering the minimum player cap for certain rounds and reducing the length of time you’ll be stuck in the rubbish football game.

And then there’s Big Yeetus. Appearing at random across stages, this mysterious, malicious mallet pops out of the air to thwack unwitting beans across the map. The trailer shows this helping out players, punting them over their un-yeeted pals to cross the finish line, but I can’t imagine there won’t be games where the big boy blasts you right off the map.

The update also shored up some networking issues, noting that there should be fewer disconnections between rounds. But really, I’d hope these remixes are enough to offset the repetition mentioned in Matt’sFall Guys review- at least, until Season 2 arrives in October.
