Super Meat Boy 3D Set for Early 2026 Launch

Super Meat Boy 3D has officially been announced for an early 2026 release during the recent Xbox Games Showcase. This new installment transitions from its classic 2D platforming roots into a full 3D environment, promising fast-paced action and gory gameplay reminiscent of the original series. Players will control Meat Boy as he navigates treacherous obstacle courses filled with deadly machines, showcasing tight jumping mechanics and unique slide physics. The first Super Meat Boy debuted in 2008, created by Edmund McMillen and Jonathan McEntee, becoming a beloved title for its challenging gameplay and quick respawn feature. Although Super Meat Boy Forever was released in 2020 without McMillen’s involvement, it's still unclear if he will be a part of this latest sequel. Notably, a mysterious green Mario warp pipe made an unexpected appearance in the trailer, raising questions about potential cross-overs or hidden nods, despite there being no Nintendo platform announced.

Super Meat Boy 3D is set to release in early 2026 across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC platforms.

The Super Meat Boy franchise originated from indie roots, starting as a Flash game before evolving into a critically acclaimed series known for its challenging levels and humorous gore. The first title left a significant mark on the platforming genre and has inspired numerous developers with its blend of difficulty and creativity. As platformers continue to evolve, Super Meat Boy 3D aims to bring a fresh approach while staying true to the chaotic spirit fans have come to love.
