Fall Guys is great and all, but until Season Two hits next month, we'll be playing all the same levels over and over. That's no real problem, as the game is brilliant fun, but it looks like Mediatonic is about to shake things up a little. In lieu of brand new stages, the developer is putting together a dangerous new hazard that could pop up in any of the current rounds.
Big Yeetus.
As explained in the above tweet, Big Yeetus is a spinning hammer you might recognise from certain levels. However, this particular hammer will randomly spawn while you play, and looks to cause all sorts of fresh mayhem. In the above GIF, the player uses Big Yeetus to their advantage to soar across the level, but we imagine the obstacle could just as easily send you flying back.
There's no word on when Big Yeetus will begin popping up in-game, but it's coming.

That looks... Lame.
I like the idea of shaking things up, but adding even more randomness to the game doesn't feel like a good solution to me.
Thought it said yeezus for a second there 😂
@pip_muzz I respectfully disagree. The M.O. of Fall Guys is to be controlled randomness, like a game show. That big hammer looked pretty easy to avoid.
Brilliant. Absolute sheer chaos is what this game needs more of. YEET
@Jeevz Fair enough. I get the randomness being a fun element, but with continued play it becomes more and more irritating. The same reason I can't play Mario Party games for more than a few hours before almost never touching them again. I feel there's a better way to mix games up than dropping a random hammer into games. They may as well have a literal jumping shark next.
@pip_muzz You’ve missed the point of the game. It’s a game show. Game shows aren’t fair, they aren’t reasonable, they’re fun.
@nessisonett I get that. One reason I was so keen and played a lot at launch was purely because of the Takeshi's Castle vibes. That said if I was to play the real version of Takeshis Castle on repeat, I too would tire of the random element over time. To each their own I certainly get why a lot of people enjoy the game continuously.
I would happily see the hammer be added to Perfect Match I should add. Anything to make that round more fun.
Beans will be swarming to it once it spawns if it can projectile you like that!
I don’t understand why they aren’t adding stage remixes or randomization. I’d like to be surprised when the hazards are rearranged every time i play.
@pip_muzz I agree with you about Perfect Match, I honestly haven’t even come close to losing that because it’s just a simple memory game. It needs more obstacles between platforms I think.
I'd like it on Slime Climb, please. Maybe I'll get past this level with a healthy boost!
Of course it could work the other way but best not to think about it.
🤔
@nessisonett Yes that's what I've thought. Either reduce the amount of time to see the squares to invite more errors, or have obstacles as you say between the squares. It's probably the weakest game overall I'd say.
I wish they change the requirements for the Infallible trophy. In a game like this, to ask you to win 5 successive episodes is a huge ask.
Big yeetus....ok
does this game run on 60 frames on the ps4 ?
@SamMR Haha, no idea but for a game like this does that even matter?
😜
@AdamNovice yeah it's a hard ask but not every trophy should be a cake walk. My 10 year old got 4 in a row a couple days ago so it's not out of this world impossible though I highly doubt I ever could lol
I love that it's a play on combining "big chungus" with "yeet." The game still doesn't interest me, though.
Nothing like adding a spinning hammer to spice things up.
Could be bigger with a name like that...
I’m enjoying this game. It’s simple fun and a good test of the platforming skills I honed back in the Megadrive days!
I reckon more random elements is a good move. Some players have mastered the more linear obstacle courses and this could shake things up.
Only criticism is the small number of stages but that will change in time.
YEET YEET YEET!
@SamMR highly likely it does because graphically it’s very simple. But I doubt 60fps is gonna change anything.
VR in the future? Would be hilarious!
>I’ll get my coat<
@playstation_king It would announce it's arrival by blasting out "On Sight"
