Fall Guys Season 4 Is Live With Patch Notes, Takes Place In Year 4041

If you were looking forward to the futuristic Fall Guys Season 4, your wait is over, because the season is now live on all platforms, and we've got the patch notes. This new season features a neon-drenched future '80s theme and adds seven new rounds to the game, as well as a variety of bug fixes and other features.

Besides the new rounds, Season 4's biggest addition to Fall Guys is the introduction of a Squads Mode. In this mode, players can qualify together as a squad of four, and if one of you wins in the final round, all of you win. There's also a new mode called Squad Survival, where squads compete to stay out of sticky slime as team after team is eliminated. This new season also introduces a new currency known as Crown Shards, which players earn through challenges and the new Squad modes. If you have 60 Crown Shards, you can trade them in for a Crown. The new rounds include the hoops-themed Basketfall, the 60-player gauntlet Skyline Stumble, and the battery-powered disco clash Power Trip.

In other news, developer Mediatonic previously announced that Among Us costumes will be coming to Fall Guys in Season 4. The studio was recently acquired by Fortnite developer Epic Games as part of its ongoing attempts to create a battle royale "metaverse." We also learned recently that the bean people of Fall Guys eat through their feet, which is perhaps one detail we didn't need to know.
