14 years after it was first revealed (sure, 14 years), The Binding of Isaac and Tremendous Meat Boy co-creator Edmund McMillen lastly launched Mewgenics final week. This turn-based tactical roguelike the place you breed cats has been an enormous hit on Steam, promoting over 500,000 copies and taking the crown for the best concurrent participant depend for a roguelike of all-time ever from Hades II.
Naturally, need for a console port has solely grown since launch, however McMillen has reassured followers on social media that the crew is “engaged on” a console launch (through Eurogamer).
That certainly consists of both Change 1 or Change 2, and because of some digging by Nintenduo, Change 2 is completely in consideration, relying on the writer.
On r/SteamDeck, McMillen held an AMA proper earlier than the sport’s tenth February launch date, and when somebody requested a couple of PlayStation 4 or 5 model, the developer confirmed “we’re deciding on a writer now and defer to them in the case of what they really feel is price growing for”.
However of all of the consoles out proper now, McMillen thinks that “Change 2 looks like the entrance runner proper now”.
That sounds extraordinarily promising, however as talked about, it actually does rely upon who the writer is and what they advocate. Regardless, it is not going to be an excellent fast progress, however we hope Mewgenics makes it to one in every of Nintendo’s hybrid consoles.
And we expect it is fairly possible on condition that McMillen’s different video games are already accessible on Change. Mewgenics is at the moment the highest-rated recreation of 2026 on OpenCritic and Metacritic, so getting it on much more eyes looks like a no brainer.
