Epic Games announced they acquired Tonic Games Group, the studio behind a recent bestseller Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout.

The announcement states that "gameplay isn’t changing and Epic will continue to invest in making the game a great experience for players across platforms." They also noted that the game will soon be released for Nintendo Switch and Xbox. 

"At Tonic Games Group we often say that ‘everyone deserves a game that feels like it was made for them.’ With Epic, we feel like we have found a home that was made for us. They share our mission to build and support games that have a positive impact, empower others and stand the test of time and we couldn’t be more excited to be joining forces with their team," said Dave Bailey, Tonic Games Group Co-Founder and CEO.

"Beyond the shared vision among our teams, we see tremendous potential in combining forces with Epic. Whether it’s about making our own games the best they can be or empowering other game developers to take their content from a kernel of an idea to commercial success, we know that together we will be able to reach greater heights," added Paul Croft, Tonic Games Group, Co-Founder and Chief Games Officer.

"It’s no secret that Epic is invested in building the metaverse and Tonic Games shares this goal. As Epic works to build this virtual future, we need great creative talent who know how to build powerful games, content and experiences," said Tim Sweeney, Epic Games Founder and CEO.
