Edmund McMillen, the creator of the hit game “Binding of Isaac,” has released a trailer for his long-awaited cat breeding game, “Mewgenics.” The game was first announced in 2012 as a collaboration between McMillen and Tommy Refenes, known as Team Meat. The trailer features live-action footage of cats engaging in various activities, accompanied by a catchy musical number. It also includes brief glimpses of gameplay footage, showcasing the game’s unique blend of turn-based RPG elements and cat breeding simulation.
“Mewgenics” has undergone a lengthy development process, with the project being postponed in 2014 to focus on completing “Super Meat Boy Forever.” After McMillen left Team Meat in 2018, he continued working on “Mewgenics” alongside co-developer Tyler Glaiel. McMillen has described “Mewgenics” as an “endless cat breeding RPG” that incorporates tactical, turn-based roguelike elements. Players will be able to breed cats with unique abilities and engage in repeatable, turn-based battles.

Throughout the years, McMillen and Glaiel have provided regular updates on the game’s development progress. They have now announced that hands-on coverage of “Mewgenics” will be published in May, offering fans further insights into how the game has evolved over the past decade.
While the trailer may leave some viewers puzzled, fans of McMillen’s work will likely appreciate the game’s eccentric humor and distinctive art style. “Mewgenics” promises to deliver a unique and engaging experience for players who enjoy indie games with a twist. As anticipation builds for the release of “Mewgenics,” fans can look forward to more information and gameplay footage in the coming months.
The game is set to launch later this year, marking a significant milestone for McMillen and his team after years of development.
