If you’re unfamiliar with this one, it’s a 3D take on a platformer that went pretty hard back in the day. It stars Meat Boy, who was (and still is) on a desperate mission to save his beloved from a grisly fate. Unfortunately, the game’s challenging platforming loop will likely have you meeting your demise more often than not, although those who like their games to fight back are certainly going to welcome this one with open arms.

Super Meat Boy 3D appears to retain everything that made the original so endearing many years ago. Of course, there are plenty of touches to ensure it continues to frustrate its players while being very rewarding for those who persevere. The trailer shows off some of that gameplay, and you can see that Meat Boy is clearly in over his head as he navigates some very dangerous levels and takes on imposing bosses.

Super Meat Boy 3D is available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.

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. It’s published by Headup and GCORES Publishing.
