The titular "guys" in Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout may resemble the characters in Human: Fall Flat or Gang Beasts, but this is a very different game. While the latter two get their challenge from unwieldy controls, the team at Mediatonic wants Fall Guys to control easily, with hilarious ragdoll results when the player attempts the game's many challenges.
There's a battle royale influence here, with 60 players competing for the top spot. Challenges along the way are reminiscent of cult classic TV game shows like Takeshi's Castle, with absurd obstacles designed to eliminate you in the least graceful way possible. Some of these are a free-for-all, like Tail Tag, while others are team based, such as Egg Grab. You can see both of those events, plus one more, in the gameplay video above.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is planned for a summer 2020 release on PS4 and PC. It's one of several games we got hands-on time with at PAX East 2020.
