Fall Guys is adding a giant hammer named Big Yeetus to “shake things up”

By shake things up, they mean shoot you into the stratosphere.

If you’ve enjoyed Fall Guys but at one point thought you’d enjoy it a lot more if it had a massive hammer that randomly appeared to send you flying, you’re in luck.

As the game’s Twitter account detailed, developer Mediatonic is “working on a little something that we have been calling Big Yeetus,” adding that “Big Yeetus will randomly appear in levels to shake things up.” The attached GIF suggests that Big Yeetus can spawn at the end of Dizzy Heights as a way to catapult you forward, bypassing some of the obstacles.

As much as I love just saying and indeed contemplating the words Big Yeetus, this joking piece of news is actually pretty significant. Up until now, Mediatonic has only made incremental balance changes to Fall Guys stages, or expanded them through new, redux stages like Jump Showdown. Big Yeetus, meanwhile, is a modular obstacle that can seemingly be added to multiple levels at random, which is an exciting direction for the game to explore.
