We knewFall Guyscontent was heading toFortnite‘s creative mode, but now a unique obstacle course looms over the island inBattle Royale, as the bumbling bean obstacle stages just dropped today. The crossover is ready to reward eager players with loot for their swift Bean parkouring skills.
Players will need to find Golden Bean statues on the island in order to get started. You’ll then be whisked away from the murder and mayhem ofBattle Royalefor a brief run through the obstacle course. Conquer the courses as fast as possible to get better loot to take back to the island! Of course, once The Storm moves in, the course becomes off limits. Completing quests while running the obstacle course can also earn you a uniqueFall Guysback bling and music track.
Looking the part – Fortnite characters get Bean makeovers
The cute thing about this is that your skin will be “Bean’d” when you visit the obstacle course. A large number of theFortniteoriginal characters have been given Bean forms to take into both this fun crossover, and the fullFall Guysislands you can visit elsewhere inFortnite. These operate similarly to the Lego versions of characters, with the results being extremely mixed.
Epic has also added a bunch ofFall GuysIslands that play more like traditional modes ofFall Guys. The team at Mediatonic Labs helped make these, similar to how Psionix helped make theRocket Racinglevels.
So, what’s next for Fall Guys?
As for the future ofFall Guysat large, it’s been an incredibly rough time for the team at Mediatonic. PublisherEpic Games laid off hundredsof employees in 2023, and while an Epic statement toKotakuclarified the entire team at Mediatonic wasn’t laid off, it’s clear the studio was still hit hard.
Given the nature of both games are so compatible here, one would hope Epic values the team over at Mediatonic, and has more plans for theFall Guysfolks going forward.
