Epic Games has acquired 'Fall Guys' developer Mediatonic.
The 'Fortnite' and 'Unreal Engine' company now has the studio as part of its acquisition of the Tonic Games Group, and Mediatonic is optimistic for the future.
In a blog post, the latter said: "This is a huge win for 'Fall Guys'. Since 'Fall Guys' broke out in August, we’ve put everything we have into the game, and the 'Fall Guys' team has already grown massively from 35 to 150+.
"Yet, there is so much more we want to build for our players. With our publisher Devolver Digital supporting and championing us along the way with 'Fall Guys', 'Foul Play' and 'Hatoful Boyfriend', we've been able to bring some truly unique experiences to players as an independent studio.
"Joining forces with Epic will accelerate our plans to improve the game and bring Fall Guys to as many players as possible, while continuing to support the community."
'Fall Guys' will still be available via Steam and the PlayStation Store, with the recently announced Xbox and Switch versions coming this summer as planned.
Mediatonic added: "'Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout' will remain purchasable on Steam and PlayStation.
"If you own the game on these platforms, you’ll still be able to play it from there and will receive future updates. We are also still planning to bring 'Fall Guys' to Nintendo Switch and Xbox.
"'Fortnite' and 'Rocket League' already have tons of features we’d love to bring to 'Fall Guys' — account systems, cross-play, squad vs squad modes, etc…We’re going to work hard on bringing more of these features to Fall Guys too!"
