Fall Guys source code accidentally ends up on a new update

Recently, Fall Guys accidentally revealed the game’s source code in an accidental Steam update. Following the update, SteamDB creator Pavel Djundik tweeted about the developer adding in files not meant to be part of the update.

Soon after, Mediatonic removed the update from the platform, but by then, many of them had already known about its existence through Pavel’s tweet. Along with that, fans couldn’t help but laugh at the company after the tweet revealed some hilarious information about the files and its directory.

Mediatonic releases files that clearly stated that it shouldn’t ship with the game

Following the update, fans noticed something odd about the files from the source code. It was revealed that these files came from a directory titled, “FallGuys_client_BackUpThisFolder_ButDontShipItWithYourGame”.

Community members and players joked about this hilarious mistake of Mediatonic shipping the one file that it shouldn’t have.

Along with that, a Reddit post even showcased the contents of the leaked files from the directory. The directory contained 728 files, and it isn’t exactly the original source code written in Unity. Other than that, the post also mentioned that these files appeared in the technical beta a few weeks ago.

Mediatonic hasn’t addressed the situation about the leaked files. With a very suspicious directory name, fans believe that developers may have planned a leak like this. But if the leak was indeed accidental, then Mediatonic takes the cake for the most hilarious fail of the year so far.
