If you’ve been keeping an ear pointed at the rumor mill, you probably knew that Amazon was working on multiple new titles – and one of them just got an announcement at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live earlier this week. It’s a Glowmade-developed title publishing under the Amazon label, and it’s called King of Meat, and I am not making that up. It’s another one of these Running Man-esque gameshow games, only this one is super cute and co-op for 1-4 players, with a melange of settings and customizations.
“Amazon Games and Glowmade are proud to present King of Meat, a one through four player hacking, slashing, co-op combat game with UGC dungeon building. Set in the mystical world of Loregok, King of Meat takes you to a place of dragons, trolls, skeletons, and, of course, corporate commercialism – where high fantasy meets the glitz, glamour, and media-infatuation of modern-day celebrity. The focus of this obsession is the wildest survival game show imaginable, ‘KING OF MEAT,’ where YOU are the entertainment.”
Not only are you charging through dungeons (with the audience egging you on), but players will be able to craft their own dungeons and to explore the “deep customization suite” for outfits, emotes, weapons, and “glory moves.”
Release is expected on Steam/PC, PS5, Xbox X|S, and the Switch, with cross-play and cross-progression, though we don’t have a date yet.
