Developer Mediatonic has announced some new details about Fall Guys Season 2, including when it will launch, a small extension of Season 1, and a new look at the medieval-themed season.
Fall Guys Season 2 has been a long time coming. After the game blew up back in August 2020, the developers were quick to announce what they had planned for the future at Gamescom Opening Night. Mediatonic promised a medieval-themed season, with knights, dragon, witches, and more making their way into the battle royale game.
Now, Season 2 is almost upon us, but up until this point we didn’t have a ton of official fine-tuned details about the new stream of content and how the game would transition over to that season. Now, however, that’s all changed.

In addition to a brand new piece of artwork from the upcoming season, developer Mediatonic also officially announced that Season 2 of Fall Guys will be dropping in less than a week, on October 8 – which is two days after what fans previously expected based on the in-game Season 1 end date.
In addition, the developers also confirmed that Season 1 will be officially extended in order to correlate with the new date, giving fans an extra two days to earn some fame points, the game’s version of XP.
On monday!

Speaking of XP, the developer confirmed that they will be enabling double fame points starting on October 5 in order to help fans put in one last grind.
In a recent Reddit post, Joe Walsh from Mediatonic confirmed that fans won’t be able to earn Season 1 rewards after it’s over, at least for a while that is, so this a great opportunity to finish up that content stream.
All in all, it’ll be interesting to see just how much content the developer adds to the game during the update. Here’s hoping we learn more about it soon, including how levels and costumes it is adding, in addition to the official patch notes.
