Have you seen the new trailer for the upcoming Super Meat Boy? If not, definitely do so, as it’s a wild, action-packed adventure! Team Meat’s 2008 flash game is finally getting a modern release, allowing long-time fans to enjoy it in a much faster and even more epic interpretation. Here’s what we know!
Super Meat Boy 3D: First Gameplay Trailer Reveals Wall-Running and Pure Platforming Mayhem
Unveiled at this year’s Games Forged in Germany, SMB has finally received its 3D evolution, which has already captivated players with its incredibly dynamic gameplay. Thanks to the collaboration between Team Meat and Sluggerfly, this classic indie game will launch in early 2026 on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
As Dominik Plaßmann, studio’s co-founder, shared on Xbox Wire, “We at Sluggerfly, Headup, and Team Meat really hope you enjoy this new version of what you’ve come to know and love from previous Meat Boy games. With Super Meat Boy 3D, we’ve poured our hearts into honoring the legacy of the franchise while pushing it into bold new territory – we can’t wait for you to play it and see where Meat Boy lands next.”
This team’s passion for the classic title shows, and nothing proves it better than the new trailer. On the way to save his girlfriend, Meat Boy will run through many colorful levels and try not to die in the process. And let’s be honest, he will die a lot! Since each level will become even harder to beat than the previous one, players can prepare for a truly challenging experience in the style of classic platformers.
As we can see in the 3D Platformer 2025 trailer, the developers have put a lot of effort into incorporating our beloved vertical and horizontal wall jumps enriched with mid-air dash mechanics into this upcoming platforming mayhem. Beware, as this game features an accessible start and an unimaginably brutal ride for 100% completionists! And since it’s finally in 3D, overcoming all those deadly obstacles gets even more complicated.
Nevertheless, fans on r/Games are already absolutely hyped for this wall running platformer, sharing thoughts like, “This is somehow the first I’ve heard of it, but based on the trailer, I’m cautiously optimistic. It really does feel like a meatboy movement translated into 3D.”
