The developer duo behind million-seller Mewgenics are already cooking up the plans for its first DLC. Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel's new strategy roguelike is the talk of the town, delivering a deep and replayable test of tactics layered with a bizarre menagerie of feisty felines. But as the pair drop a new set of Mewgenics patch notes and begin work towards the first proper expansion, Glaiel says they are being "pretty careful" about how they respond to community calls for more clarity and detail in its menus.

Sure, we're only seven weeks into the year, but Mewgenics has already established itself as one of this year's breakout success stories. There are those that argue the latest game from the mind behind The Binding of Isaac was always guaranteed to be a hit, and there's a sliver of truth to that. However, seeing it swiftly surpass a million units sold and beat Hades 2's all-time Steam peak player count is a genuine, pleasant surprise. That surprise extends to the developers of the game itself, with Mewgenics' co-creator Tyler Glaiel saying that its huge success has "blindsided" him, greatly exceeding the amount of Steam wishlists it had before launch.

Mewgenics has been a bona fide hit, but then again, who expected anything different? Edmund McMillen is the mind behind Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac, and has been working on this cat-breeding roguelike for 14 years. His long-time collaborator, Tyler Glaiel, has a similarly impressive and varied CV. With the goodwill of all fans in their sails and a cracking game to share with the world, there was no doubt that Mewgenics could rise to the top of 2026's gaming offerings. But nobody expected it to grow quite so big, quite so fast.
