Mediatonic?s Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is all the rage right now. From industry professionals to celebrities and representatives behind high profile brands, the game reportedly has about eight million players hooked on the PlayStation 4 alone. To put it simply, Fall Guys is a hit and publisher Devolver Digital is surely enjoying its immense popularity.
In an interesting Twitter thread, Creative Director Jeff Tanton revealed that Fall Guys was pitched to 10 publishers before Devolver took a chance, and it sure did pay off! The game, which was once known as Fool?s Gauntlet, wasn?t entirely battle royale at first and was partly inspired by Japanese game show, Takeshi?s Castle.
