King of Meat, the Amazon-published dungeon creator action game, now has a release date: 7th October.

Developed by former Lionhead (Fable) and Media Molecule (LittleBigPlanet) developers, Glowmade's game will feature over a hundred dungeons at launch for 1-4 players to complete, filled with battles and traps. Then, players will be able to create their own dungeons and upload for the community to play.

King of Meat will be released across PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, and cost £23.95 for the standard edition (or £39.95 for the deluxe edition featuring extra cosmetics).

Ahead of release, Glowmade has stressed the game is not pay-to-win, with all purchases being optional cosmetics, and doesn't include any form of random monetisation like loot boxes.

Future updates will also be free for those with the base game, though post-launch content is yet to be divulged.

Lastly, for those intrigued, a technical test will run this weekend from 23rd - 24th August on all three platforms - simply search for the game on your platform of choice.

I previously went hands-on with King of Meat last year ahead of its initial unveiling and had a lot of fun with its chaotic party atmosphere.
