The new finale Thin Ice is a 'spiritual successor' to Hex-A-Gone
The second season of Fall Guys came and went for me, but I'm feeling far more optimistic about tomorrow's update. When Season 3 starts on December 15, it'll bring seven levels – one of which is an all-new finale – along with 30-plus costumes and another progression path called Crown Ranks.
As covered this morning by Mediatonic, there are seven new Season 3 levels:
As for Crown Ranks, they're a new carrot on a stick for high-level players to fuss over. As explained on the PlayStation Blog, your hard-fought crowns will contribute to a rank that rises as you win, and it's retroactive, so your Season 1 and Season 2 crowns will be counted. The higher your Crown Rank, the more exclusive items – colors, patterns, and even "Golden" costumes – you'll be able to unlock. As someone who peaked in Season 1, that sounds like a nice extra incentive to get good and stay good.
The Season 3 update also includes improvements:
Stay up-to-date on Fall Guys news and announcements with the new in-game Bulletin feature
You can now link your Amazon Prime account to Fall Guys for exclusive in-game rewards
The Show Selector will have a clear indicator for when new shows are available
Improved in-game messaging for various errors and connectivity dialogs
Improved performance and visuals of transparency effect when Fall Guys are occluded by geometry
[PC] Early Access release of Private Streamer Lobbies is now available! This is invitation-only for now, and requires 40-60 players to start a custom match
[PS4] The camera sensitivity slider has more degrees of freedom on PS4
And bugfixes:
After wrapping up several story-driven games back-to-back in an effort to freshen up my backlog before the new year, I'm kinda in the mood to goof off in a silly multiplayer game like Fall Guys.
