After being announced in 2012, being cancelled and then revived in 2018, Mewgenics, the latest from Super Meat Boy creator Edmund McMillen and The End Is Nigh creator, Tyler Glaiel, is finally out, and it’s a roaring success so far.
Launching today on Steam, the blend of tactical turn-based combat and feline breeding has amassed a large player base already, with SteamDB recording an all-time high of over 60,000 concurrent players. That’s one of the largest of the day on Steam, with Mewgenics beating out heavy-hitters such as Overwatch, Battlefield 6, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and Elden Ring Nightreign.
The launch has been so successful that Glaiel has confirmed that all development costs for the roguelite were recouped within three hours of the game being on sale.
