The popularity of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout has been a big surprise to everyone, no more so than developer Mediatonic. In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, lead game designer Joe Walsh explains while they expected the game to eventually recoup its development costs, nobody expected it to do so in just four hours. More content is on the way to sate the appetite of players, with season 3.5 due to arrive soon.
The title sold 11 million copies on Steam. No exact PS4 sales figures are available, but the game has totalled more than 8 million players and became the most downloaded PS+ game of all time. There?s no doubt that launching on PlayStation Plus helped the game?s popularity and CEO Dave Bailey says the team is ?definitely glad we took the decision to go to PlayStation Plus.? Walsh says he thought it ?might take six months or a year to break even. Fall Guys did it in about four hours.? The developer?s second biggest game made $10-15 million in lifetime sales. Fall Guys has already beaten that and has added ?some noughts onto that? after just three months.
