Epic Games is investing in beans. Magic beans! Beans shaped like vaguely humanoid creatures nut you really don’t want to see what the anatomy of these organisms looks like! Mediatonic’s Fall Guys took the world by storm last year, providing a perfect respite from everything else going on in the world at the time.
