Super Meat Boy Forever will be heading to Nintendo Switch in April 2019. The release window announcement, which was made at the KF Game Showcase, also revealed the game would be coming to PS4, Xbox One, and the Epic Game Store in the same month.

Acting as a sequel to the original Super Meat Boy game, Super Meat Boy Forever sees Dr. Fetus return to reign terror on everyone’s favourite meat-based hero. It’s been a while since the last game, so Meat Boy and Bandage Girl now have a little baby meat-child called Nugget. Unfortunately, a certain someone has become aware of this and a few knocks to the heads later, Meat Boy and Bandage Girl’s baby is whisked away. It’s now up to you to save little Nugget and so the story begins.

Super Meat Boy Forever borrows and adapts on many mechanics from the first title. Players are tasked with navigating their character through a series on hazardous levels to reach the end goal. However, this time around players will run automatically and only have two buttons at their disposal.

Players take on the role of Meat Boy or Bandage Girl and are now able to punch/kick their way through any enemies in their path. Levels are generated from a selection of 40 – 50 “chunks”, that are stitched together to create a complete course. This isn’t completely random though, as Team Meat have developed a system to handle pacing and other elements to ensure levels are presented as intended. To add an additional layer of difficulty, once a level has been completed the game increases the difficulty criteria for future replays.

Super Meat Boy Forever is set to launch on Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and the Epic Game Store on April 2019. If you can’t wait and want to check out some snippets of gameplay, then the latest trailer is available to watch below.
