Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is an instant hit for developer Mediatonic and publisher Devolver Digital. It’s fame is a bit surreal and it looks like a mobile version of the Takeshi’s Castle-like platformer is now in development in China.
Niko Partners senior analyst Daniel Ahmad revealed through Twitter that “Chinese games and entertainment company Bilibili has secured the right to publish a mobile version of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout in China”.
This is the first official confirmation of a mobile version of Fall Guys. There’s no word of a mobile version heading to the west at this time and the mobile version mentioned will only be published in China.
The demand and fame of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is apparent with it being the most viewed game on Twitch and a top seller on Steam since it debuted this month. Let’s not also forget that every PS Plus subscriber on the PS4 gets a free copy of the game this August, which you can still pick up until August 31 if you haven’t secured a copy yet.
A mobile version this early shows that many are scrambling to meet the demand, to a point that Mediatonic had to remind the public via Twitter that there is no official mobile version currently available.
With the game’s current momentum, this is no surprise as many are trying to ride the fall Guys hype. On that note, It won’t be shocking to see the game expand to other platforms (a Switch version sounds amazing), or spark new projects that are greatly inspired by Fall Guys.
