This is the first official confirmation of a mobile version of Fall Guys. There’s no word of a mobile version heading to the west at this time and the mobile version mentioned will only be published in China.
The demand and fame of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is apparent with it being the most viewed game on Twitch and a top seller on Steam since it debuted this month. Let’s not also forget that every PS Plus subscriber on the PS4 gets a free copy of the game this August, which you can still pick up until August 31 if you haven’t secured a copy yet.
A mobile version this early shows that many are scrambling to meet the demand, to a point that Mediatonic had to remind the public via Twitter that there is no official mobile version currently available.

b) There's literally a mouse cursor on the screen
c) I don't want to live on this planet anymore

Animal Well is a paragon of the art form, a game that simply must be experienced.
