Independent developer One More Game has announced that SWAPMEAT, a co-op roguelite third-person shooter where players swap body parts with bizarre alien enemies to gain their powers, is set to launch this 2025 for PC and macOS via Steam.
The studio also revealed the dates for one of the final playtests, Meat Lab 5, which will run from May 15 to May 22. Players can register on the games official website to try out the game’s uniquely squishy, and surprisingly strategic meat-swapping mechanics.
Players who refer three friends will receive guaranteed access for their entire squad, while supplies last.
This playtest introduces a significant content update, featuring:
