Publisher Headup and developer Sluggerfly have announced 3D platformer Super Meat Boy 3D for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store). It will launch in early 2026. It will also be available via Game Pass.
“Team Meat and Headup have worked together for years and Sluggerfly made us laugh, so we knew that we could give them enough creative freedom to put their own stamp on a Meat Boy game and still make it feel like Meat Boy,” said Team Meat’s Tommy Refenes. “It’s not easy to convert a 2D hard core platformer into 3D but they’ve nailed it.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Team Meat:
About
Super Meat Boy 3D is a tough as nails platformer where you play as an animated cube of meat who’s trying to save his girlfriend (who happens to be made of bandages) from an evil fetus in a jar wearing a tux—IN 3D! Our meaty hero will leap from walls, over seas of buzz saws, through crumbling caves and pools of old trash sacrificing his own well-being to save his damsel in distress—IN 3D. Super Meat Boy 3D brings the old school difficulty of classic retro titles we all know and love and streamlines them down to the essential no bull straight forward twitch reflex platforming. Ramping up in difficulty from hard to soul crushing Meat Boy will brave lush (but also on fire) forests, vast dumps filled with the waste of mankind, and high-tech forges producing the very traps that will inevitably kill Meat Boy over and over and over—IN 3D! And if a bunch of levels weren’t enough, we also have epic boss fights and tons of unlockable secrets—IN 3D!
