Mewgenics, the long-in-development infinite cat breeding sport from devs Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, has simply had its launch pencilled in for February tenth, 2026, by a recent trailer. Sure, it’s nonetheless trying very bizarre and nigh not possible to elucidate to a mate in lower than two minutes.
Following on from the trailer it got in April, this newest one roped in essentially the most becoming collab Binding of Isaac developer McMillen and co may have landed, within the type of sinewy surrealism knowledgeable and YouTuber MeatCanyon. We’ve additionally gotten a pleasant overview of the place the devs are at in assembling their bizarre feline with two heads.
As you may watch above, the discharge date trailer featured a cartoon bloke explaining a bit about his cat to an actual bloke who I’m positive is an actual vet. Amongst different issues, the kitty’s obtained a playing dependancy, a conjoined twin, and has been probed by aliens along with having made a take care of the satan. So, simply your common cat with common cat quirks.
In an accompanying Steam dev blog, McMillen defined the choice to push again releasing the “flip primarily based legacy roguelike draft sim” into the wild till subsequent 12 months, moderately than chucking it out of the cat flap earlier than the top of 2025.
“Dude, pay attention. Launching in Nov–Dec is tough,” he wrote, “We would like this sport to get the eye it deserves and don’t wish to compete with holidays and vacation AAA releases. And truthfully, including a number of extra months to dev means launching with an much more closely examined and polished expertise!”
Along with extra basic sprucing and playtesting, the kinds of issues the group says they’ll be specializing in on this additional time embody the addition of customized occasions, extra cutscenes, and ensuring they’ll launch the sport in a number of completely different languages.
McMillen added that Mewgenics’ mysterious closing boss – which I’ve obtained little doubt shall be one thing – is on observe to be completed by the top of this month. The sport’s “huge secret late-game system” is already able to go, and it’ll begin getting some “alt/shiny furnishings” subsequent week. Sit again down in your gleaming throne, I do know you’re enthusiastic about that final half, however persistence is essential right here.
Why does a turn-based RPG/roguelike factor about cats shagging wants glowing sofas, you would possibly surprise. Do not take a look at me, I’ve obtained no concept in any respect, however Mewgenics has undoubtedly captured my curiosity, even when it is simply because it has cats in it.
