King Of Meat is a hacking, slashing online co-op spectacle for one through four players, stepping into the role of fearless contenders battling through ridiculous dungeons.

Are you hell-bent on destruction? Or a creator-of-chaos? The most-watched, sometimes controversial but always talked-about survival game show, King Of Meat, is waiting for Contenders, Builders and Creatives. Jump in and battle for gold and glory together with friends and fellow Contenders.

Set in the mystical world of Loregok, King of Meat takes players to a place of dragons, trolls, skeletons, and, of course, corporate commercialism - where high fantasy meets the glitz, glamor, and media-infatuation of modern-day celebrity. The focus of this obsession is the wildest survival game show imaginable, “King of Meat”.

In the Komstruct Koliseum, YOU are the entertainment; a contender desperately seeking glory, gold and fame. Race through chaotic, unhinged dungeons battling all manner of monsters, all while trying to impress the bloodthirsty crowd with your combat skills and showmanship. But that’s not all! Dare to imagine lava filled rooms, spinning blades, flaming balls of fire, rotating spikes... and that’s still not all! There’s giant horse hooves, inter-dimensional black holes, exploding ducks and sausage-meat gym jocks. Nothing is off the table in King Of Meat, and whether you’re crowned victorious or you perish anonymously, you’ll need to play with style to satisfy your audience.

Think that’s all, now? Think again! Further glory awaits those who create their own devious dungeons. What traps, tricks and trials are hidden in that dastardly brain of yours? Use all your cunning and creativity to build the most fun and outrageous dungeons for other King Of Meat contenders to face, and the best will be famed and celebrated across all of Loregok.

Ready for action, mayhem, gold and glory? Join us on the King Of Meat stage, to get famous or die trying!

We're excited about the variety of ways players can express themselves through creative co-op gameplay and dungeon creation, and we're looking forward to King of Meat captivating players around the world at launch and beyond.”

King Of Meat, a one through four player hacking, slashing co-op combat game with UGC dungeon building, will be available for purchase digitally, launching on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam and Nintendo Switch. 

King of Meat is developed by Glowmade, an independent studio based in the vibrant video game community of Guildford in southern England founded by Jonny Hopper, Mike Green and Adam Sibbick, who met while working together at Lionhead Studios, and have built the studio around the core principles of inclusivity, player creativity, exploration and community.

“I like to sum up Glowmade’s approach as joyful creativity”, says Jonny Hopper, Glowmade’s co-founder and Studio Head. “King of Meat perfectly embodies this ethos, giving players so many weird and wonderful ways to have fun and express themselves. Whether you want to spend time in Create Mode building the most bonkers dungeon you can, dress up like a squid-headed bird person in Cuban heels, or just enjoy the surprise and belly laughs of exploring and beating dungeons with friends, King of Meat has got something for you. We’ve had so much fun making this game and I’m just so excited the world is going to experience it soon. I truly can’t wait to see our community flex their creative muscles and bring King of Meat to life.“

As a contender, battle through joyfully unhinged dungeons with a team of up to four, to be crowned victorious. As you progress and your fame rises, unlock new leagues, new environments, traps and challenges to beat. But don’t forget that you have an audience to impress, so you must utilize weapons, combos and over-the-top Glory Moves to complete dungeons in the most imaginative ways. Sounds easy? It is, once you’ve gotten past the lava pits, ice traps, giant hammers, angry trolls, flying eyeballs and psychotic imps.

Take dungeon creation into your own hands in King of Meat's Create Mode, where you are given the tools to create the dungeons of your dreams — and someone else's nightmares. All the dungeons in King of Meat have been created with the same tools that you will use to create your own dungeons, so if you can play it, you can build it. The intuitive tools mean that you can curate the most intricate and challenging dungeons with ease, and become the most revered dungeon creator that all of Loregok fears and celebrates!

In King of Meat creative self-expression is encouraged, welcomed and rewarded. The deep customization suite in the game lets you choose outfits, accessories and emotes to show off your style and creativity. Want to play as a flaming eagle covered in horns with a duck on your head? Or perhaps you’d like to be a multicoloured urban gladiator with honeycomb boots and a sausage hammer? Whatever your style, we got you. But it’s not just about what you look like, after all, you’re on a survival game show with a demanding audience waiting to be entertained. The customization suite also contains weapons, attacks and Glory Moves which will give you and your team mates the ability to run the dungeons, and celebrate your victories, in the most chaotic and entertaining ways possible.

King Of Meat will be available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch.
