Super Meat Boy 3D now has a release date. Announced with a trailer during the recent Xbox Partner Preview 2026 showcase, the title is coming to PC and Xbox Series X/S on March 31st. The trailer, which you can check out below, is quite short, coming in at just shy of a minute in length, and features gameplay footage alongside live-action footage of a man who seems to be losing his mind as he dies in the game’s various levels.
The gameplay parts of the trailer largely focus on showing off all the different ways that players can die as they explore the 3D levels of the fast-paced platformer. As had been evident from the original announcement trailer, Super Meat Boy 3D has maintained much of the frantic gameplay that made the original 2D side-scroller such a hit when it first came out all the way back in 2010.
The announcement trailer focused quite a bit on the new 3D gameplay, emphasizing just how different it will be, while still maintaining the core identity behind the Super Meat Boy franchise. Among the many aspects of the franchise that we will get to see in the upcoming game include the spectacular post-level screens where we get to observe and appreciate all of our attempts through the levels, including the ones that end in the gruesome death of Meat Boy, before we eventually make it through to the end.
Super Meat Boy 3D is being developed by Sluggerfly collaborating with original developer Team Meat, and is being published by Headup and GCORES Publishing.
