It’s Fall Guys Vs. Among Us In This Ridiculous Star Wars Battlefront 2 Mod
Two of this year’s biggest surprises might not be directly trying to take each other out, but in this Star Wars Battlefront II mod, it’s all about the intergalactic struggle between Fall Guys and Among Us.
The mod transforms the Rebel Alliance fighters with the colorful bean bodies of the contestants from Fall Guys, while the Imperial forces are all replaced with stretched out and frankly uncomfortable models from Among Us. You can see the forces waging war in the gameplay below, which somehow works despite the clashing art styles.
The mod was seemingly commissioned by YouTuber ToastedShoes (and developed by NoTengoTortuga) who showcased the gameplay above nearly a month ago. The mod wasn’t public then, but you can grab it from Nexus Mods now. It’s two separate downloads for each of the teams, and you will need an additional Fall Guys Hero Overhaul mod to get those characters working.

On this week’s episode of GameSpot After Dark Jake and Kallie are away, which means the Yakuza fans are out to play. Specifically, Lucy, Michael, Jean-Luc, and Tamoor sit down to have a nice long chat about Yakuza: Like A Dragon, an exciting new entry for the beloved franchise that does a few new things.
Of course, longtime listeners might point out that we talk about Yakuza a whole bunch regardless of whether Jake and Kallie are on and, to those people we say, yes, but this time we’re talking for an extra long time about Yakuza, because it’s one of the major releases for Xbox Series X and S, and because it’s just a fantastic game.
But, alongside that, we’ve also got a bit of chat on Final Fantasy XIV (we can’t have Michael Higham on and not talk about that game–it’s basically the GameSpot law at this point.) We also cover the recent mumblings about a battle royale mode for Halo Infinite and the rather bombastic end to the latest Fortnite event.
PlayStation Boss Stresses That Japan Is Still “Incredibly Important To Us”
PlayStation boss Jim Ryan has insisted that Japan remains incredibly important to the company, slamming reports suggesting otherwise as “inaccurate”.
Ryan, speaking to Edge (via GamesRadar) in its latest December issue, stresses that PlayStation has not been as excited to work with Japanese developers for some years. The executive was also quick to point out the many Japanese-produced titles that appeared on the two PS5 streams ahead of the console’s launch.
“In our two launch shows – which featured a reasonable amount of games, but not a huge number of games – there were eight Japanese-developed titles there, many of which are the subject of collaboration and partnership between PlayStation and the Japanese publishing community,” Ryan explained.
