The Fall Guys: Ultimate knockout mid-season update is now available. Season 4.5 adds two new rounds to the title, the Cloud Slime Scraper and the Key Hammerer.
In the cloud slime scraper, players have to run away from the slime over several levels, key hammer lets players compete against each other in several small arenas.
The new update also brings 55 small variations for a total of twelve existing rounds. For example, there is now a very low gravity version of Hex-a-gone and Thin Ice. Players can also play with their friends in custom lobbies and cross-play between PlayStation 4 and PC is now also possible.
In addition, a report function has been introduced with which you can now report players in-game. Of course, some improvements and bug fixes are also included in the new update.
What was also included in the update, but most likely not planned by Mediatonic: The source code of your game. The name of the folder that was released with the patch was: “BackUpThisFolder_ButDontShipItWithYourGame”.
This folder is generated automatically by Unity and contains, among other things, data for debugging. What sounds funny to us, was probably more of a moment of horror for Mediatonic.
The folder has of course been deleted since access to the source code makes it a lot easier to develop cheats for the title. Fall Guys has struggled with cheaters in the past, which probably makes this leak a bit of a catastrophe. During the next update, the developers will probably look at the names of their folders several times.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is currently available for PC and PlayStation. The title was also due to hit Xbox and Nintendo Switch this summer, but has been postponed indefinitely for those platforms.
