Amazon Games and Glowmade have officially announced the highly anticipated release date for King of Meat, a thrilling four-player cooperative party platformer! Mark your calendars, as the game will launch on October 7 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. But Nintendo Switch players will have to wait a little longer, with their version set to release in early 2026.
Excitingly, players who opt for the Deluxe Edition will enjoy early access starting October 2. Both the Standard Edition (£23.95) and Deluxe Edition (£39.95) come packed with the Venerable Defender Legendary Costume—a stunning samurai-inspired outfit complete with a matching sword, shield, and stickers. The Deluxe Edition offers even more with additional character sets to help players kick off their dungeon adventures in style!
King of Meat promises to deliver chaotic fun that’s perfect for friends! Up to four players can explore dungeons brimming with puzzles, challenges, and wild monsters. Whether tackling official dungeons, experimenting with community-built ones, or unleashing creativity in the Create Mode to design and share personal creations, there’s an adventure waiting for everyone. At launch, players can look forward to over 100 dungeons, with more on the horizon as the community contributes!
Prior to the official launch, Glowmade is hosting a Technical Test on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series from August 23 to August 24. This limited-time test allows players to experience the game firsthand and provide feedback to enhance the final product. Additionally, Twitch Drops will be available during this test, offering rewards that will carry over into the full game.
The developers have also clarified their monetization strategy. King of Meat will not feature any pay-to-win elements, ensuring that all purchases are purely cosmetic. Players can expect transparency with no loot boxes or randomized systems, allowing them to know exactly what they are buying. Plus, future updates—including new modes, customization options, and additional dungeons—will be available for free to all players.
With its blend of cooperative gameplay, creative potential, and a fair monetization model, King of Meat is positioned to become an exciting party game that caters to both casual and competitive players alike!
