Fall Guys, the incredibly popular battle royale game starring over-sized jelly bean characters, is coming toNintendo Switchin 2021.
The news was announced during a lengthy Nintendo Direct presentation, and is sure to please anyone who has been enviously eyeing PlayStation and PC players, who have had access to the game since last year.
It’s not clear if Fall Guys will receive any Nintendo Switch-specific costumes, however we wouldn’t be surprised to see some sort of collaboration between Nintendo and Mediatonic. The brief trailer for the game may have hinted at local co-op, as we saw two bean players each holding aJoy-Con controller, but honestly, it wasn’t clear.
A disclaimer at the bottom of the Fall Guys trailer showed that players will need aNintendo Switch Online subscriptionto play. This isn’t always the case, as online multiplayer brawlerNinjalaproves, so it’s an extra cost to consider if you’re not a subscriber already.
Fall Guys continues to receive new content to keep players entertained, such as Medieval costumes, brand new levels and high-profile outfits from popular games likeDoomand Sonic the Hedgehog. The game has always seemed like the perfect fit for Nintendo’s audience, and it seems like developer Mediatonic agrees.
