Knight Fever is split into sections like some othermad dash courses inFall Guys. Players will need to travel uphill while dodging swinging axes on narrow platforms and anyone who can get beyond that will be rewarded with a chance to walk across a log that is covered in spikes rotating around it. From there, it’s a downhill slide through a field of axes looking to throw players side to side before they must cross a dangerous bridge that features holes in the floor and swinging logs attempting to ruin a run. Lastly, players will need to cross drawbridges that open and close at different intervals.
Mediatonic, the studio responsible forFall Guys, has been looking at different ways to challenge players since the game released in August. While the developer has been adding different courses to keep the game fresh, it has also added new obstacles to existing courses. During a mid-season update,Mediatonic added in Big Yeetus toFall Guys, which was a new challenge players would have to deal with throughout courses that they had already mastered. Although Big Yeetus was added to introduce a new challenge, some players took advantage of the giant hammer to cover extra distance.
While Mediatonic is adding in new ways to challenge players, the studio is also throwing a bone to players feeling the grind ofFall Guys’battle pass. Last week, Lead Designer Joe Walsh replied to a comment thread on Reddit that mentioned how frustrating it was to grind out the Season 1 battle pass inFall Guys. Walsh mentioned that the team had heard the community about this issue and that thebattle pass forFall GuysSeason 2 would be easier to fully complete.
Fall Guys Season 2is scheduled to launch on October 8 on PC and PlayStation 4.
