Super Meat Boy Forever is an upcoming independent video game developed by Team Meat for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, iOS, Android, Microsoft Windows and Linux. Originally planned as a mobile-only version of Super Meat Boy,[2]Super Meat Boy Forever was gradually developed into a full-fledged sequel featuring a new control scheme and randomly generated levels.[3]
Gameplay[edit]
Super Meat Boy Forever expands on Super Meat Boy's challenging gameplay, as well as the main villain Dr. Fetus. Meat Boy and Bandage Girl's child Nugget has been kidnapped by Dr. Fetus and the couple must work together to rescue her. Both characters can kick and punch enemies and must avoid deadly obstacles to save Nugget. The control scheme uses two buttons.[4] Levels are randomly generated based on the player's skill level using premade 'chunks' created by the designers.[5]
Development[edit]
Development for Super Meat Boy Forever was announced in 2014 as mobile-only sequel to the original Super Meat Boy. Team Meat founders Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes originally teased the project as a 'live action stealth game' called A Voyeur for September, but this was later revealed to be an anagram for Super Meat Boy Forever.[2] After a few years of little to no public updates, Edmund McMillen left Team Meat and began focusing on other intellectual property such as The Binding of Isaac and The End Is Nigh. Refenes said to not 'hold your breath' expecting McMillen to come back after Super Meat Boy Forever is released.[6]
In 2017, Refenes restarted the project as full-fledged sequel and several new team members joined Team Meat to help with development. Among the new team members were Kyle Pulver (Offspring Fling, Snapshot), and Temmie Chang who worked on the art for Undertale.[6] Ridiculon, who composed the music for the PlayStation 4 version of Super Meat Boy, returned to compose the sequel's soundtrack.[7] Refenes explains that even though the game is still coming to mobile, this version was developed primarily as a console game.[4] The new version of Super Meat Boy Forever was revealed at PAX Prime 2017. The game was championed by Nintendo during their Nindies Summer 2017 Showcase,[8] and the PAX demo of the game was well received by the media.[4] The game was scheduled for an April 2019 release[9], but was pushed back to a later date on consoles with a late 2020 release for Steam.[10]

Chances are you are fully aware of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice which released back in 2017 from development studio Ninja Theory. The video game focuses on a deep story-driven narrative of a young woman named Senua who travels to great lengths battling her inner demons as she seeks the help of Hela, a goddess that may bring back her dead lover back to life. It’s a very detailed world with hack-and-slash gameplay along with puzzle solving. However, for those that are seeking some more of the game franchise are in luck.
Hellblade: Senua’s Saga was announced during The Game Awards in 2019 with a cinematic trailer. We, unfortunately, we didn’t get any information about what we can expect from the game but it does look to be a next-generation focused title. Of course, with that said, Microsoft has stated that there wouldn’t be an Xbox Series X exclusive for at least two years. This means that we can expect this installment to also a release on the Xbox One platform as well.

Super Meat Boy was a hit when it launched back in 2010. The indie title acted as a fast-paced platformer where players take the role of a red cubed character without any flesh that was on a quest to save his girlfriend, Bandage Girl. Kidnapped by the diabolical Dr. Fetus, players are forced to maneuver around dangerous traps, timing jumps and landing carefully within a safe ground. Now, the game has a sequel coming out in 2020 called Super Meat Boy Forever.
This sequel will play similarly to the original installment but with players having access to two characters. Dr. Fetus is up to no good once again as he has now kidnapped Meat Boy and Bandage Girl’s child, Nugget. The two must once again fight through a series of dangerous landscapes as they attempt to rescue their child.
