UPDATE (9:30am UK): The official Twitter account has confirmed it is not live "right now" (for us, servers for Season 1 are still going) and starting the game before the new season is available could see certain things not appear.

With Season 1, it was technically live (and for us, fully playable) ahead of an announcement - but whether you want to risk it is up to you. Either way - we're looking at a few hours away yet, and we'd estimate early afternoon UK time (around six hours from now).

Heads up!Season 2 will be live today (but not right now). We don’t post an exact time for our updates, so that we can check for glitches in the system.If you open the game before we announce anything, you may see:? No new challenges? No new show? No store? Raccoons pic.twitter.com/lwWFMabzGG

ORIGINAL REPORT: Fall Guys Season 2 has a release date of Thursday, September 15th on all platforms.

As always, developer Mediatonic doesn't disclose when new seasons go live. Based on the in-game countdown for when the current Satellite Repair event ends, this puts the best estimate at the following release time in these regions:

UK: 10am (BST / UK)Europe: 11am (CEST / West Europe)East Coast US: 5am (EST / East Coast US)West Coast US: 2am (PST / West Coast US)

Additionally, know that Season 1 of Fall Guys went live by 9:30am UK time - half an hour before the above - suggesting this is the expected time when new updates go live.

Things could differ, of course - this is an online game with a significant update, after all - so for those in the Americas, it might be best to wait until the morning local time to be safe.

Before the free-to-play launch, seasons released sometime in the afternoon UK time (around four to six hours after the above) so if it doesn't hit our estimate, we'd certainly expect it by then.

What's new in Season 2: Satellite Scramble?

The second season of Fall Guys has a space-theme, were "the residents of the Blunderdome leaving the relative safety of their planet for the first time, with their hearts hungry for adventure".

Here's what you can expect:

The Satellite Explorers launch event, which has you "repairing, rebuilding and designing" the Fall Guys satellite within new arenas, offering rewards including:Space Bean Nickname (200 Points earned)200 Kudos (300 Points earned)Satellite Explorer Nameplate (500 Points earned)Space Icons Pattern (800 Points earned)Satellite Backpack (1000 Points earned) Eight new and revamped rounds, including Tiptoe Finale ("one wrong step could send you tumbling into the cosmos"), Starchart ("take a leap of faith and walk the invisible paths to the end of the race"), Pixel Painters (which "has you hopping on tiles to spell out the correct patterns"), Cosmic Highway ("players hop across rows of moving platforms") and more. A new Season Pass with over 100 tiers of rewards and unlocks - including costumes for the likes of Xenomorph, Hatsune Miku and Spock. As well as the above, unannounced "improvements, bug fixes and new features", and likely some mid-season surprises.

Good luck with Fall Guys Season 2!
