If you’ve played any of the Super Meat Boy<\/a> games previously, you might be interested to hear a brand-new 3D game is arriving in 2026.<\/p>\n

In an update this week, developer Sluggerfly and the game’s publisher Headup have now confirmed a Switch 2 version. While Super Meat Boy 3D<\/a> does approach the brutal platforming action from a different perspective, the core gameplay remains intact.<\/p>\n

This includes “brutal, but fair levels”, boss fights, Dark World levels, and a soundtrack with involvement from Steve Marcois of the deathcore band Despised Icon. Here’s a bit more about this meaty new experience, and you can see some extended gameplay footage on Switch 2 in the video below.<\/p>\n

“Super Meat Boy 3D is a brutal platformer that sees you guide a cube of meat on a mission to rescue his bandage-made girlfriend from an evil fetus in a tuxedo jar – IN 3D! You’ll wall-jump past buzz saws, crumbling caves, and flaming forests, dying a million times along the way – IN (you guessed it) 3D. With old-school difficulty, twitchy reflexes, epic bosses, and loads of secrets, it\u2019s Meat Boy like never before – IN (say it with me!) 3D!”<\/p>\n
