Mewgenics, the highly anticipated cat-breeding RPG originally envisioned as a sequel to Super Meat Boy, is officially set for release in 2025. This exciting news comes from a fresh trailer unveiled by IGN and an updated page on Steam, sparking enthusiasm among fans of the genre.
Blending elements of a turn-based RPG with the quirky world of cat simulation, Mewgenics marks the next ambitious project from Team Meat, the acclaimed duo consisting of Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes. Initially teased in 2013, the game faced a hiatus in 2014 as the team shifted focus to complete Super Meat Boy Forever, a mobile sequel that captured the hearts of gamers.
After McMillen departed from Team Meat in 2018 to dedicate his efforts to The Binding of Isaac, Mewgenics transitioned with him, gradually progressing towards its eventual launch. The latest trailer indicates that repeatable turn-based battles are a significant feature of Mewgenics, while maintaining McMillen’s distinctive and often cheeky animation style, which fans have come to adore, along with the vast array of whimsical cat furniture.
For those eager to discover how Mewgenics has evolved since its initial announcement over ten years ago, McMillen and co-developer Tyler Glaiel have been consistently updating their blog on Steam. These posts delve into various aspects of the game’s development. Moreover, gamers can anticipate more exciting updates soon, as the developers announced that IGN will be providing hands-on coverage of Mewgenics in May, promising to showcase further details and gameplay insights.
