- Mewgenics has been released on PS5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch 2
- The game synchronizes saves with the Steam version
- Russian localization has been received and rated 'Amazing'
- The developers are preparing an update and the first DLC expansion
The indie roguelike Mewgenics, created by renowned developer Edmund McMillen and programmer Tyler Glaiel, has officially launched on next-gen consoles. The project, previously available exclusively on PC via the Steam platform, can now be obtained on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch 2. The expansion of platforms allows for a broader audience of gamers who prefer console gameplay.
The developers paid special attention to player convenience when transitioning between platforms. The console versions support save synchronization with the Steam account, making it easy to transfer progress from computer to console and vice versa. Additionally, the authors have provided flexible control options for all types of platforms, adapting the gameplay to the capabilities of each system.
Mewgenics is an unusual roguelike set in an atmospheric Backwater. The core gameplay revolves around breeding and selecting cats with various unique characteristics. Players create increasingly exotic and powerful pets that participate in turn-based tactical battles. The selection system allows for the combination of traits and abilities, creating an almost infinite variety of characters.
The amount of content in the game is impressive in its scale. Completing the main campaign can take about 200 hours. The roguelike features hundreds of unique combat abilities for cats, equipment items, and types of enemies. Such a vast number of game elements generates millions of potential combinations, ensuring that each run will differ from the previous one and offer new strategic solutions.
Localization and future updates
Last week, Mewgenics received several new localizations, including the long-awaited Russian version. This decision makes the game accessible to a significant portion of the gaming audience in the region. Project support does not end with localization — the developers continue to work on improving the game.
Macmillan and Glael are working on an update that is expected to offer a new mode or way to play, as well as add fresh unlockable elements to the game. At the same time, production of the first DLC expansion has started, details of which will be revealed later. The StopGame developer community expressed high praise for the project, awarding Mewgenics a rating of 'Amazing' and including it in the 'Our Choice' selection.
