This week has already been one of Fortnite's most eventful ever after the Paradigm goof in the item shop and the changes to battle pass exclusivity . And there's still more excitement to come. We have a big timer on the battle royale map counting down to something on Saturday, which will be followed by a major presentation about the future of Disney's collaborations with Fortnite from D23 later in the evening, With everything going on, it can be easy to forget that Fall Guys finally entered the Fortnite ecosystem this week.
And to be fair, this is only the early stages of Fall Guys' integration into Fortnite--it would be more accurate to say that you can play Fall Guys-style mini-games in Fortnite, at least for now. The most noticeable aspect of this being the limited-timeFall Guys obstacle course in the sky above Classy Courts in the battle royale map. You drop near the Courts, interact with the bean statue, and play a Fall Guys course for loot.
But you're racing the clock, not the other players--the faster you get through it, the better your loot will be when you return to the island. When other players are around, you do get some classic Fall Guys shenanigans, but it's not the same as a direct competition against other people, like the real Fall Guys offers. Likewise, the creative maps that have been put together by Fall Guys developers at Mediatonic are approximations of Fall Guys games that have been re-imagined in a Fortnite way.
Tumbly Towers, for example, is just anot.
