Epic Games announces it has acquired Tonic Games Group, parent of developer
Mediatonic, the creators of breakout hit
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout.
Epic says this will not change the game or how the studio operates, pointing the
way to
this blog post for specifics on that aspect of this news. There's an
interesting note in the brief FAQ there, as this is the answer to the
question of whether the game will go free-to-play: "Nothing to announce right
now!" Here's more:
This is a huge win for Fall Guys. Since Fall Guys broke
out in August, we’ve put everything we have into the game, and the Fall Guys
team has already grown massively from 35 to 150+. Yet, there is so much more we
want to build for our players. With our publisher Devolver Digital supporting
and championing us along the way with Fall Guys, Foul Play and Hatoful
Boyfriend, we've been able to bring some truly unique experiences to players as
an independent studio.
Joining forces with Epic will accelerate our plans to improve the game and bring
Fall Guys to as many players as possible, while continuing to support the
community.
