Mediatonic

Mediatonic is a British video game developer founded in 2008 by Dave Bailey and Bob Williams. The company is headquartered in London, England. Mediatonic is known for developing a wide range of games across various platforms, including PC, consoles, and mobile devices.

The studio initially focused on developing games for feature phones and early smartphones before transitioning to more mainstream platforms. Over the years, Mediatonic has worked with numerous publishers and IP holders, creating games based on popular franchises. Their portfolio includes titles in genres such as puzzle, action, and party games.

Mediatonic gained significant global recognition with the release of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout in 2020. This massively multiplayer party royale game, developed in collaboration with Epic Games, became a viral success. Fall Guys features a series of chaotic obstacle courses where players compete to be the last one standing. The game's accessible gameplay and humorous presentation contributed to its widespread appeal.

In 2021, Mediatonic was acquired by Epic Games. This acquisition has allowed Mediatonic to further develop Fall Guys and explore new projects with the support of Epic's resources and expertise. The company continues to operate as a studio within Epic Games, focusing on creating engaging and fun gaming experiences.
