The first trailer for The Binding of Isaac devs' next game Mewgenics answers none of the many questions I have

I deliberation if you were to amusement idiosyncratic the trailer for Mewgenics, implicit with cats you-know-whating, a philharmonic number, and a poop joke, they'd astir apt beryllium taken rather aback. However, if you were to archer them that it's from the aforesaid radical that made Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac, I'm definite they'd beryllium capable to recognize overmuch quicker. Aside from coming from immoderate beauteous notable indie devs, determination inactive mightiness beryllium the question of wherefore it's specified a large woody that Mewgenics yet got a trailer, and the reply to that is (kind of) simple: it was announced 13 years ago.

Mewgenics was primitively meant to beryllium a follow-up to Super Meat Boy, but was technically cancelled successful 2016, with 1 of the main devs down it, Edmund McMillen leaving Team Meat soon after. McMillen shared a mates of years aboriginal that helium acquired the rights to Mewgenics, and would beryllium moving connected it with Tyler Glaiel. Now, 7 years aft that, the crippled really has a trailer, and is adjacent owed to travel retired sometime successful 2025.

Now, does this trailer astatine each archer you what the crippled is about? Apart from the information that you'll breed cats, nope! But that's the propulsion of marketing, it gets you to research further. Dig a small deeper (i.e. checking the game's Steam page) confirms that yes, it is successful information an "endless feline breeding RPG", but it's besides a tactical, turn-based roguelike. It benignant of looks similar an incredibly unhinged Into the Breach, but alternatively of mechs you power cats you've bred to person antithetic abilities. A batch to unpack here!

McMillen's idiosyncratic YouTube transmission really has rather a fewer gameplay clips to peruse if the nightmare substance trailer didn't bash it for you. There's a existent Tom Waits vibe to the euphony that I wasn't expecting but americium afloat into, I deliberation I'll beryllium checking this 1 retired whenever it does arrive.
