It has been one hell of a wait, however Binding of Isaac creator Edmund McMillen’s extraordinarily long-awaited cat breeding sport Mewgenics is nearly upon us. And with a launch looming (comparatively talking, no less than), its first correct trailer is right here – and, wow, is it one thing.
Mewgenics (or Mew-Genics because it was initially identified) first surfaced again in 2012. It was described as a cat-themed “cross between The Sims and Pokémon with a sprinkling of Animal Crossing and a splash of Tamagotchi”, and was purported to be developer Workforce Meat’s long-awaited follow-up to Tremendous Meat Boy – till it was quietly shelved just some years later.
Since then, much more has occurred. After McMillen and Workforce Meat improvement companion Tommy Refenes opted to go their separate methods, McMillen went on to create the vastly profitable The Binding of Isaac Rebirth, plus different acclaimed oddities like The Finish is Nigh and Isaac spin-off The Legend of Bum-bo. In 2018, nonetheless, McMillen revealed he’d determined to resurrect Mewgenics, and improvement has been ticking alongside ever since.
We have had a gradual stream of updates since then, together with affirmation Mewgenics has modified significantly since its authentic inception 13 years in the past. It is now one thing like a cat-themed tactical RPG, break up between breeding and fight, and is at the moment scheduled to launch this yr. However whereas McMillen says there will not be any launch date information simply but, we do have one hell of a live-action trailer to tide us over. It tells the heartwarming story of a struggling couple and the rutting cat-things that introduced them nearer collectively. And there is even some gameplay in there too, however given every little thing else occurring – together with the catchy little music it is all set to – you may want to observe a couple of instances to take all of it in.
Revealing the trailer in a submit on Steam, McMillen supplied a short improvement replace, explaining Mewgenics is at the moment present process a little bit of sprucing forward of a extra thorough exhibiting subsequent month. And as for a launch date? McMillen stated there will be extra information on that subsequent month too. Within the meantime, it is out there to wishlist on PC.
