Overview

  • Mewgenics is set to launch on Windows PC on Feb. 10, 2026.
  • The turn-based tactics roguelite from Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel centers on sending cats on combat runs, retiring them, and breeding offspring that inherit traits for future runs.
  • Multiple early reviews highlight substantial systemic depth, with playtime estimates ranging from roughly 100 to 200 hours.
  • Critics describe the crude, gross-out tone and explicit content as polarizing, with in-game settings that can tone down mating animations.
  • The developers opted for a full 1.0 release rather than Early Access and say post-launch player feedback will inform potential DLC, after years of publicly streaming gameplay during development.
