Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout Season 5 will take players for a rumble stumble in the jungle, reflecting the rather humid and steamy nature of the weather in many northern hemisphere countries right now. There will be a host of new levels and new features including limited time events, all of which are due to begin with Season 5’s kickoff tomorrow, July 20.As usual, the reveal trailer for the season features an epic quest for that elusive crown. There’s plenty of new costumes on show, including adventurers, mummies, camels, and pirates. There’s also rampaging rhinos and even a few Indiana Jones references thrown in.There will be six new levels introduced with season 5. The first of those is Treetop Tumble that features separate branching routes so up to 60 players can pick what they think is the best way to the finish line, avoiding new obstacles like Log Swings and Expanding Frogs along the way. Then there’s Lily Leapers, another 60 player level that sees players bouncing their way from lily pad to lily pad to the end. The other four are:Stompin’ Ground – Dash, dive and dodge in a hectic escape from three mechanical Rhinos. Good luck!Lost Temple – Navigate the shapeshifting Lost Temple where the elusive path to the Crown is ever-changingBubble Trouble – A five-way arena bout that’s all about rapid-fire beans and bubble poppin’ dreams!Pegwin Pool Party – Zoom down zippy slides and grab those pesky Pegwins.
