Fall Guys season 5 release date confirmed: Six new rounds and gameplay footage revealed
Get ready for a Jungle Adventure in Fall Guys season five.
Fall Guys season five is very nearly upon us, with the developers from Mediatonic revealing - using a special trailer - that 'Jungle Adventure' is the theme for the new season.
This, of course, is a major change in tone when you consider that the previous season was set in the distant future... It's nice to see the Fall Guys developers mixing it up in a big way.
The team behind this gameshow-inspired gaming phenomenon have promised that this new season comes "fully-equipped with an adventurous new theme featuring giant swinging logs, a mysterious Lost Temple and… mechanical Rhinos?!"
There will be six new rounds in Fall Guys season five, alongside the addition of limited-time events (which will be a very familiar concept to fans of Fortnite) that will include Duos and Trios. And so, to get the full lowdown on this new season, read on.
When is the Fall Guys season 5 release date?
As the official announcement declares it, players should "Get ready for some jam-packed jungle action" because "Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout season five is stumbling onto Steam and Playstation on July 20th". If you're playing on PS4, PS5 or PC, then, you should be able to jump into Fall Guys season five very soon. (As an aside, there's still no sign of the Xbox or Nintendo Switch versions of the game.)
What are the new rounds in Fall Guys season 5?
Mediatonic has handily provided some official descriptions for the new rounds! So if you want to know what the developers are saying about season five's new rounds, this is the information you seek:
Treetop Tumble
"Take branching routes in a scramble to the finish. Filled with perilous Log Swings and Expanding Frogs (yes, seriously). Who knows where your choices will take you?"
Stompin’ Ground

How do Fall Guys limited-time events work?
Mediatonic has stated that Fall Guys season five will add limited-time events to the game, "bringing a whole new way to conquer the Blunderdome that’s packed with limited-time challenges and unique rewards.
"Each event brings a treasure-laden pathway to untold riches (well… rare costumes, emotes, nameplates, patterns and other desirable treats). And who knows, maybe we’ll be inviting some special guests along to help out?"
There will even be limited-time Duos and Trios shows occurring during Fall Guys season five, which will allow you to team up with your multiplayer mates in brand-new ways!
