Super Meat Boy will have a new installment, adding a new dimension to its gameplay

During the Xbox Summer Showcase of 2025, Team Meat surprised fans by announcing the return of their iconic platformer game, Super Meat Boy, this time in a three-dimensional format titled Super Meat Boy 3D. This new approach promises not only new challenges but also a vibrant visual experience in isometric perspective, reminiscent of the popular Super Mario 3D World series.

A strong inspiration from Nintendo games… again

The announcement trailer begins with an animated sequence that includes a fun nod to Mario games, featuring a green pipe, before showing the protagonist, Meat Boy, in action. The first revealed gameplay highlights an environment filled with dangers including spikes and circular saws, elements that suggest a return to the challenging difficulty that characterized previous titles in the series.

One of the most notable features of Super Meat Boy 3D is the protagonist’s ability to create clones of himself, a mechanic that is reminiscent of the cherry item in Super Mario 3D World. This innovation will surely add a new layer of strategy and complexity to the game’s missions and levels.

Super Meat Boy 3D is the result of the collaboration between Team Meat, Sluggerfly, and Head Up, marking a new chapter for the series after Super Meat Boy Forever, released in 2020, which received mixed reviews. This new title is scheduled for release in early 2026 and will be available on platforms such as Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, through Xbox PC, Steam, and Epic Games Store. Additionally, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to enjoy it from its first day of release.
