The new season continues this icy theme into its new levels as well. According to theFall GuysTwitter account, players can expect seven new courses in the update. While some of these levels are wintery renditions ofFall Guysclassics (such as Thin Ice, a slick rendition of Hex-a-Gone), others are completely new. Perhaps one of the most interesting sounding games is Pegwin Pursuit where players will need to chase down the “Pegwin” and hold it to earn points.
The newFall Guysseason will also introduce several new featuresfor players to enjoy. Players will now be able to climb through the Crown Ranks (a ranking system based on crowns won) to earn exclusive rewards.

Select Steam players will also be getting an invitation to try out a Private Streamer Lobby feature that will require a minimum of 40 players to start.
Along with new features, levels, and costumes, players will receive a variety of bug fixes in the Season 3 update. Some notable fixes including removing the invisible platform onRoyal Fumble, and improving the issue on Fall Mountain where grabbing the crown didn’t end the match.
