The gauntlet has been thrown down, and a new champion of chaotic co-op is ready to be crowned in King of Meat.
Amazon Games and Glowmade have today announced that their hilarious party platformer, King of Meat, will be launching on October 7th, 2025.
The game is coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
Revealed with a brand-new release date trailer, this announcement also comes with the news that a Technical Test will be running this weekend, giving players their first chance to dive into its devious dungeons ahead of the full launch.
A Feast of Dungeons and Deviousness
King of Meat is a co-op party platformer that pits up to four players against a series of treacherous dungeons filled with clever puzzles, challenging platforming sections, and a host of ridiculous monsters to fight. The game is built on a foundation of creativity and community, allowing players to not only conquer official dungeons but also to build and share their very own unique and fiendish creations.
You won’t have to wait until October to get your first taste of the action either. You see, a King of Meat Technical Test will run for 24 hours this weekend, from August 23rd, 6 PM BST until August 24th, 6 PM BST.
If you are interested in joining, getting an early look at the game, then go searching for King of Meat – Technical Test on the Xbox Series X|S store. The test will also be available on PlayStation 5 and Steam, and the feedback gathered will be crucial in helping the team deliver the best possible experience at launch.
Pre-Orders, Editions, and Early Access
Pre-orders for King of Meat are now live, with two different editions on offer.
- Standard Edition (£23.95): Includes the base game.
- Deluxe Edition (£39.95): Includes the base game plus the Tapeboard Betsy and Emerson Shard Character Sets.
Both the Standard and Deluxe editions come with some fantastic pre-order bonuses:
- The Venerable Defender Legendary Costume: A fearsome samurai-style outfit, complete with a matching sword, shield, and stickers.
- Up to 5 Days of Early Access: Jump into the full game starting from October 2nd.
King of Meat will launch with over 100 dungeons, many meticulously crafted by Glowmade, but also a selection hand-picked from the next generation of dungeon creators – the players themselves. The number of available dungeons is expected to grow rapidly after launch as the community pushes the game’s “Create Mode” to its absolute limits.
The developers have also confirmed that all future updates to the base game will be free for all players, with new game modes, customisation options, and more planned for the future.
The table is set for a veritable feast of chaotic, creative fun this October. With its deep focus on community creation and a hilarious co-op experience at its core, King of Meat is shaping up to be the perfect game to share with your friends.
The reign of meaty mayhem begins on October 7th.
