A Fall Guys leaker stumbled across code pointing to the eventual arrival of Halo skins for the likes of Master Chief; this also seems to indicate the long-awaited Xbox release isn't too far off. Fall Guys hits PC and PlayStation 4 in August 2020, with developer Mediatonic later scheduling Nintendo Switch and Xbox ports for Summer 2021.
The Switch and Xbox versions of Fall Guys were delayed this spring, however, as the studio wanted to implement extra features that would be ready in time for new platform launches. Unfortunately, this news didn't come with a revised release window, leaving many to wonder when exactly the battle royale title will migrate elsewhere. And though several months have passed since the delay announcement, Mediatonic has yet to share updated information on the matter. Recently leaked details hint that the studio may not remain silent for too much longer, though.
In digging through Fall Guys code, leaker and Twitter user FgPancake (via TheGamer) stumbled across three mentions of Halo skins - one for protagonist Master Chief, another for a Chieftain, and the last for a species of characters commonly referred to as Grunts. The leak bore no mention of when the supposed content will actually go live in the battle royale title. However, this could still point to the indefinite delay on the Xbox version coming to an end in the not-too-distant future. Perhaps, Mediatonic will even announce release plans around the time of Halo Infinite's arrival in December? We'll have to wait and see. The post from the leaker appears below:
As noted by the above tweet's timestamp, the Halo-centric Fall Guys leak first made the rounds over the weekend. Neither Mediatonic nor Microsoft have addressed the leak, however, though that shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.
Master Chief and Company would fit well within the world of Fall Guys. After all, other iconic video game characters have already made the jump, including mascot heroes such as Sonic the Hedgehog, PlayStation's Ratchet and Clank, Bomberman, and even the Doom Slayer. On the Xbox side of things, Master Chief seems the obvious choice, especially given the imminent release of Halo Infinite.
Fall Guys is out now on PC, PS4, and PS5; the Nintendo Switch and Xbox versions still lack a firm release date.
