Fall Guys Season 5 has just been officially revealed via a livestream, and it looks like another pretty substantial update to the popular battle royale platformer. We already knew the new season would bring with it a jungle theme, and it seems this comes with all kinds of new things to see and do.
As you might expect, Season 5 will introduce a handful of new rounds. Six new levels will be added to the rotation, and they sound pretty great. Treetop Tumble is a new obstacle course with branching paths, while Pegwin Pool Party has you sliding down slopes and trying to grab onto those pesky birds. Stompin' Ground is all about surviving the onslaught of three mechanical rhinos as they charge about. Lily Leapers is a sort of platform challenge about jumping between layers of drums, while Bubble Trouble is all about popping bubbles in a large arena. Lastly, Lost Temple is a new final round in which you must reach the crown at the centre, but the path there is constantly shifting.
In addition to these new stages, Season 5 adds limited time events for the first time. These events offer up rare rewards for completing certain challenges, potentially featuring some "special guests" along the way. Squads mode will also be getting some attention; the team will be trialling duos and trios playlists for limited times during the season. It goes without saying the new season will add all kinds of new cosmetic items to collect, too. Finally, the game will of course be updated with various fixes and improvements to the overall experience.
All this will be coming with Season 5, which gets started tomorrow, on 20th July. Are you jumping back into Fall Guys to check it out? Stumble into the comments section below.

Do people still play this game? Genuinely curious
@Legacy2K
Yes, some, but a helluva lot more would if it didn't require a PS+ subscription and was cross play with Switch and Xbox.
Soon... Soon...
@Legacy2K Yup, lots of people still do. Hence the continuation of new content for it.
@Legacy2K Yeah, I asked my friend and apparently in the UK she's still able to get into a game until 4 am sometimes lol
Finally gonna redownload this since about a month after it's plus release. Can't wait to try all the new stuff.
It now has frogs and I see that as an absolute win 🐸
@Ogbert Continuation of new content doesn't equate to having a playerbase. It can also be used to tempt people back in, like the content updates for Avengers, which has had ridiculously low user counts these days.
@Jayofmaya that’s funny 😆
I stayed up ‘til 4am playing Fall Guys trying to earn enough crowns so my Nephew could get the Sonic Skin. I think that was in season 2.
I stopped playing after that until a few weeks ago and it’s much better now. No where near as Grindy as it was in the earlier seasons.
There are just a few season 2 levels that I really don’t like (Wall Guys and the Tail grabbing one) but there’s a lot more variety in the levels now. Plus, daily challenges to help you level up faster.
I think the level progression they have now is perfect - just the right balance to keep you playing and levelling up without feeling like a grind.
I played a lot of it when it first came out on Plus but now only when there is a new season.
I'm definitely tempted to give it another go later this week.
Here's hoping theirs another glitch for the Infallible trophy. 🤞
For anyone that stopped playing after awhile, I recommend checking back with friends again. Last season's stages were really good, and the new ones look cool as well.
@Legacy2K Yep, I still get full 60 player games often.
@fR_eeBritney I admit I was hooked for a while (not 4 am hooked haha) but it did feel a bit grindy and not varied enough so it's good to hear they've fixed all of that Thanks for the info! ^_^
It feels like somewhere along the way they stopped coming up with simple ideas for new mini-games and just decided to throw in a bunch of lasers, anti-gravity, blowing fans, switches, three mechanical rhinos etc.
What i’m trying to say is I understand there’s only so much ideas they can do with a game like this, but sometimes bigger isn’t always better and it’s a reason why most of the launch mini-games are still enjoyable while I despise some of the newer ones
Jungle is a good idea for a theme. I'll give the new stuff a try.
This will release on the switch soon. I can see it having a massive end of year with all the new players.
@Legacy2K Yeah, it's the go to game for me and my mates, and the main MP game I play by myself.
Running away from those rhinos sounds fun.
@Legacy2K It's the 5th season of content. That's way beyond "we need to entice people back".
Also if I recall the Avengers content was promised up-front, so they are now obliged to create the content regardless.
