The popular mobile game Stumble Guys, a battle royale inspired by Fall Guys, is set to make its way to PlayStation consoles. Developed by Scopely, the game has already gained immense popularity on mobile platforms, with over 250 million downloads across iOS and Android.
Stumble Guys takes its inspiration from Fall Guys, a Takeshi's Castle-styled battle royale game that took the gaming world by storm in 2020. Fall Guys was initially released for PlayStation and consoles, and later expanded to Xbox systems. It attracted millions of players and became a huge success with its quirky gameplay and colorful aesthetics.
It's not uncommon for mobile games to replicate the success of popular console games, but it is intriguing to see Stumble Guys making its way to consoles as well. The game's arrival on PlayStation consoles raises questions about its similarities to Fall Guys and whether it could be considered a blatant rip-off.
Stumble Guys has capitalized on its popularity by partnering with well-known media franchises, including Rabbids, Barbie, and Mr Beast, resulting in crossover content that further boosted its appeal. With its success in the mobile gaming space, it will be interesting to see how the game translates to consoles and whether it can attract a new audience.
As for the potential response from Epic Games, the creators of Fall Guys, it remains to be seen whether they will take any action against Scopely. While similarities between the two games are apparent, it's possible that Epic Games may see it as an opportunity to expand their own brand and reach new players.
Ultimately, the release of Stumble Guys on consoles is an exciting development for fans of the battle royale genre. Whether you view it as a rip-off or a clever spin-off, Stumble Guys has proven its appeal in the mobile gaming world and now seeks to conquer the console market as well.
