Fall Guys Lets Players Craft Their Own Mayhem With New Creative Mode

Summary

  • Fall Guys Season 4 launches today, introducing Creative Mode for all players
  • Build custom levels with a robust suite of tools and share them with the community
  • Learn more about Creative Mode in an exclusive Q&A with Miguel Rafael, Lead Designer on Fall Guys Creative

Alongside the launch of Season 4, Fall Guys has introduced Creative Mode, giving players all the tools they need to create custom stages to play and share, and it’s available today!

Xbox Wire was lucky enough to take a peek at Creative Mode in action ahead of launch, and it looks like brilliant fun indeed. The tools are intuitive; you don’t have to be a master architect to build a challenging and chaotic level. Simply place a starting point and a finishing line, and then fill out the course with bouncy obstacles, steep ramps, and other wacky objects for your beans to overcome.

We also had the opportunity to speak to Miguel Rafael, Lead Designer on Fall Guys Creative, to learn more about how Creative Mode was built to be accessible without restrictions. If you do see Miguel in a lobby with you, make sure you definitely DON’T grab him, he’s let us know that he has a hard time getting Crowns as it is…

Now, onto the Creative stuff!

Xbox Wire: Why did bringing Fall Guys Creative to Fall Guys feel like a great idea?

Miguel Rafael: Players are hungry for Fall Guys content, and we felt that the best way to satisfy that voracious appetite was to release Creative into the wild. It is all about putting the power to shape the Fall Guys experience and universe directly into players’ hands.

How is Creative designed to grant players freedom, while respecting the limitations of a working level?

MR: We allow players to mix and match obstacles at will, place them where they want, rotate them as they wish, and change various attributes such as speed, strength, and size. As for respecting the limitations of a working level, our goal is to break free of them!

We want to expand the editor in ways that allow players to redefine what a Fall Guys level is all about! So stay tuned for updates. We are bringing some never-before-seen Fall Guys treats to Creative!

What kind of things have been made internally with the tool? Have any of the creations surprised you?

RM: All of the Rounds for the new season have been created by our level design team in Creative! This is the most levels we have ever shipped in a season. And yes, during every playtest, the team would say, “Wait, what? You can do that in Creative?!” There are some really unbelievable races this season.

Could a player’s mode become so popular that it gets added to the main game?

RM: Yes! Players’ levels selected by our team will make their way into the Show Selector! For more information on how your Round can get featured, check out the Fall Guys Creative FAQ!

Can you run us through the types of items that will be available in Creative, examples of what is included, and how to use them?

RM: In Fall Guys there’s only one item type that matters: OBSTACLES. Luckily, we’ve added plenty of them, including classic obstacles, fan favorites, and a brand new one for the season launch. Feel free to use them to your heart’s content – there’s no wrong way to be creative!

Can players add their own flair with custom palettes/changing the color and look of objects?

RM: You can change the colors of most obstacles and building blocks. In the future, we hope to expand the color selection to give creators even more freedom.

What can players look forward to in terms of ongoing updates?

RM: Are you trying to get me to spill top-secret information?

We will, of course, be bringing more classic obstacles to Creative as well as brand new ones. The same goes for Round types! That’s all I can say about that for now, but we can’t wait to show everyone the endless possibilities with Fall Guys Creative!

It’s time to get Creative!

You’ll be glad to hear that Fall Guys Creative is available to play now, and there’s even more goodies to enjoy as part of Season 4.

To keep up with all things Fall Guys, including updates on store items, collaborations and Limited Time events, check out the official Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Never stumble alone and join the shenanigans on the official Fall Guys Discord. Make sure you use #FallGuysCreative when posting videos or screenshots of your level⁠—as this is a great way to get your Rounds seen and played by the community!

The Lamplighters League Blends Stealth, XCOM Combat, and a Ritzy 1930’s Aesthetic

After Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope and Marvel’s Midnight Suns last year, I’m champing at the bit for more of the fantastic and challenging turn-based tactics that not enough games offer. So when I recently went hands-on with Shadowrun developer Hairbrained Schemes’ The Lamplighters League, it was like stepping into a warm bath. The alternate-history 1930’s setting evokes an Indiana Jones-like adventurer’s charm filled with fedoras and tommy guns, and that felt like the perfect backdrop for the mix of diabolical stealth and strategic combat I overwhelmingly enjoyed in this admittedly small taste.

The Lamplighters League’s killer feature is how it blends realtime stealth hijinks with turn-based combat in the same vein as XCOM. Before fists and lead start flying, characters can move freely to gather recon, collect items, and take out enemies undetected, but once I was inevitably spotted, the action switched to the cover-based tactical combat you’d find in the likes of Gears Tactics. The advantage of this hybrid model is that I was allowed to sneak around, feeling like a roguish ne’er-do-well as I scouted ahead and set myself up for success in the upcoming bout. Then, by the time the turn-based shenanigans began, I was armed with the knowledge and tools I needed to win the day.

Another advantage of Lamplighters League’s realtime/turn-based hybrid model is that, because I was returned to infiltration mode after each fight, it gave me a chance to catch my breath before the next section, which meant levels were longer than your typical tactics game. It’s always bothered me that the levels in tactics games are far too short, and just when I’m getting into it I suddenly find myself back at base, customizing my squad to prepare for the next mission. By stringing together what amounts to a bunch of mini XCOM levels together with stealth sequences in between, I was able to enjoy missions for longer and spend less time looking at menus.

The Lamplighters League’s killer feature is how it blends realtime stealth hijinks with turn-based combat in the same vein as XCOM.

The tactics combat itself is about what you’d expect from genre peers, where moving from cover to cover, using special abilities, and sweating at the odds you have of landing a hit when attacking is the name of the game. A number of distinct heroes are available to rotate in and out of your party. Ingrid is a close-quarters bruiser who can kick enemies to the ground, causing them to skip their next turn, while Eddie carries two pistols and excels at controlling the battlefield from mid-range with a hail of gunfire. Meanwhile, Lateef, who is quite squishy and much more useful during the infiltration stage, can place a decoy on the battlefield to distract his attackers.

During infiltration mode, all characters switch over to a different set of skills than the ones used in combat. Lateef, who struggles in combat, suddenly becomes the MVP with the best sneaking skills and an ability that lets him knock enemies out silently before battle begins, sometimes avoiding it altogether. Meanwhile, Ingrid can punch through walls and help take out enemies not-so-silently before combat begins, and Eddie can lockpick doors and use shock mines to lure unsuspecting enemies into traps. While infiltration mode mostly serves as a break between combat sections where you’re healing up and doing recon, there’s some genuinely interesting stuff you can do during these intermissions as well, and it’s definitely satisfying to skip a combat section by setting off a particularly clever series of traps or stealth tactics to give you an edge in later parts of the level.

The charming art style and 1930’s setting is also a welcome change, as it’s something I haven’t seen in the tactics genre before. There’s just something about playing as a dolled-up femme fatale, sneaking through alleys as I prepared to get the jump on some gun-toting goons that feels very right. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a very good impression of the characters beyond their basic introductions, since I only had access to the first two levels, but if it manages to nail the story, The Lamplighters League could be something very special.

Total War: Warhammer 3’s roadmap outlines the next year of expansions and updates

The Forge Of The Chaos Dwarfs expansion is hot out of the oven, but Creative Assembly have already detailed what’s next for Total War: Warhammer 3. A fresh roadmap shares what’s coming in the next twelve months, which includes three paid expansions: Shadows Of Change (Summer 2023), Thrones Of Decay (Winter 2023), and To Be Revealed (which I’m hoping is the official title, coming Spring 2024). Each expansion will be accompanied by a free update that brings Legendary Heroes for everyone, as well as interim patches in between content drops.

Fall Guys Getting Creative Mode and Other New Features Today

Epic Games has announced a creative mode for Fall Guys that lets players build and create their own competitive stages.

Available today, May 10, the mode promises to bring “a comprehensive and full-featured level editor” that puts the developers’ tools into the hands of the players. Fans can sample other players’ creations in a dedicated mode but the most-loved levels will often be included in the main Fall Guys show selector too.

Other changes are coming to the game in the Creative Construction update too, including the Season Pass changing to the Fame Pass. Epic Games this change will bring “more regular and better value content drops” thanks to the new system, as each season now contains multiple consecutive Fame Passes lasting four to seven weeks each. The first Fame Pass will be available from May 10 to June 12.

Fame Passes consist of 40 rewards and still include both a free and paid progression path, with each one seemingly revolving around a certain entertainment franchise collaboration. Hello Kitty is the first Fame Pass star, and a special costume will unlock immediately for all players who purchase the pass.

In our 8/10 review of the game, IGN said: “A collection of exciting minigames and a burst of every colour under the rainbow makes Fall Guys a consistent delight.”
