Publisher Headup and developer Sluggerfly announced the 3D platformer, Super Meat Boy 3D, will launch for the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store, and Xbox Game Pass in 2026.
"As a life-long gamer, being involved in the soundtrack of Super Meat Boy 3D was such an honor, albeit a true test of perseverance," said Steve Marcois. "We started working on this song two years ago, and I must say I’m more than happy how it paid off while we were able to capture the emotion of the story. I hope our efforts are felt through the song, and that you’ll enjoy the game as much as I do."

Read details on the game below:
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’s Meat Boy like never before—in (say it with me!) 3D!
Features:
- Tough-as-nails precision platforming action
- Brutal, but fair levels designed to break you.
- Boss. Fights.
- Dark World levels so tough, you’ll scream in the rain at a bus stop.
- A soundtrack that was once described by a Guitar Center employee as, “Hey, either buy the guitars or get out. We’re seriously going to call the cops.”
- …3D!

As someone who really admired the original but prefers 3D platformers to 2D, I can't wait for this game and hope it's just as compelling and content rich.
I loved the original and I'm looking forward to seeing how they add another dimension to the gameplay... literally lol
