Super Meat Boy 3D is coming to Xbox Series X, PS5, and PC in early 2026, giving one of th𒆙e best 2D platformers ever made a glow-up and a third dimenౠsion.

Announced at today's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Games Showcase 2025 live, Super Meat Boy 3D brings back the series's brutal-cute cast and tone, but lathers it in a lush 3Dꦇ aesthetic.

Levels look to be a mix of true 3D and flatter 2.5D segments, with some paths overlapping and sprawling, and others presenting more linear left-to-right segments typical of Meat Bo🌃y. There's a lot of verticality on 🗹display, too, with Meat Boy now navigating spiraling towers of horrible buzz saws instead of, you know, straight towers. That's the power of 3D, baby.

Some 15 years since Super Meat Boy, which is still widely r🦂egarded as the peak of the IP, fans have reacted to Super Meat Boy 3D with a mix of excitement and relief. It's an exciting and ambitious version of Meat Boy, and very importantly, it's also not an auto-runner like the lukewarmly received Super Meat Boy Forever.

Super Meat Boy 3D will be available vi✤a Xbox Game Pass at launch, and will support Xbox Play Aܫnywhere cloud streaming.

It's been a good show for unexpected follow-ups so far: Obsidian is making Grounded 2, and it's launching into Steam Earl💜y Access and Xbox Game Preview next month.

Pokemon developer Game Freak's new "one-person, one-dog action RPG" looks like Nier and Sekiro had a gorgeous baby, and it's coming next year to PC, Xbox, and PS5.
