In the world of online gaming, speculation is rife about the future of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, following the discovery of content for future years hidden within the game's files. Despite the excitement, developers Mediatonic, now owned by Epic Games, have remained tight-lipped about their long-term plans for the popular multiplayer game.

Recently, eagle-eyed gamers have uncovered mentions of content that will unlock over the next year, causing a stir among fans. This discovery has left many feeling uneasy about the game's future, with theories ranging from a potential shutdown if profits aren't sufficient, to integration as a new large-scale mode in Fortnite.

However, it's important to note that no official confirmation has been given about these possibilities. The developers have not confirmed whether Fall Guys is shifting to "autopilot" mode, where servers would continue to run but no major updates are expected. Similarly, there's no official word on Fall Guys potentially being integrated into Fortnite or being shut down.

The latest update, Slime Factory, released on September 16, 2021, has brought changes to the pool of available maps in the game. But fears about the game's future could be unfounded, as developers have promised to reveal something "significant" on September 18, 2021, in their social media channels. Fans would be thrilled if this "significant" announcement is an announcement for a sequel to Fall Guys.

On the other hand, some fans have theories about the game's future beyond 2026. The end of full support for the original Fall Guys might seem like a natural transition to a sequel if one is announced. As of now, there are no announcements or confirmed developments of new activities, updates, or a sequel for Fall Guys in the year 2026 by the game developers.

In an "autopilot" scenario, servers would continue to run, but no major updates are expected. Developers would only need to fix bugs and activate existing content in the files. However, without official confirmation, these theories remain just that - theories.

As the September 18 announcement approaches, fans are eagerly waiting for any news about the future of their favourite game. Whether it's a sequel, integration into Fortnite, or continued support for the original game, one thing is certain - the future of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is shrouded in mystery.
