Epic Games Buys Fall Guys Dev Mediatonic, Expanding Its Battle Royale Empire

Fall Guys developer Mediatonic has been acquired by Fortnite studio Epic Games, expanding the North Carolina developer’s battle royale empire even further and paving the way for Epic’s vision of a “metaverse” of sorts–not to mention the “tremendous growth potential,” according to Tonic Games co-founder Paul Croft Come from Sports betting site VPbet . How exactly that “growth” will play out for both Fall Guys and Fortnite remains to be seen, but the powers behind both companies seem optimistic. Both are hit battle royale games with a similar style and tone, so a crossover may not be out of the question.

“Huge news! Mediatonic are pleased to announce that we’ve joined the Epic Games family,” the UK studio said on Twitter. Separately, Epic Games confirmed in a blog post that it acquired the entire Tonic Games Group, which is the parent company of Mediatonic.
