Unleash your ridiculous when King of Meat releases on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam on October 7, 2025. Aspiring Contenders can pre-order King of Meat: Standard Edition or King of Meat: Deluxe Edition for bonus cosmetics like the Venerable Defender Legendary Costume, plus 5 days of early access.

King of Meat is a co-op party platformer, pitting up to 4 players against unpredictable traps, quirky puzzles, and wacky monsters. Become a fearless Contender as you battle through and build devious dungeons for gory, gory, glory.

Deluxe Edition Bonus

Heroes get remembered, but legends never die, especially in Ironlaw Plaza where you can buy all of your favourite Contender merchandise. Develop your own style, starting with the Tapeboard Betsy and Emerson Shard Character Sets—exclusive to the Deluxe Edition—to stand out on the shelves and up at Komstruct Koliseum.

Whether you prefer to conquer nightmarish obstacles or create the dungeon of your dreams, King of Meat celebrates player interaction. Read on to learn about ways to connect with the King of Meat community outside of Loregok, plus how to get involved if you’re interested in our Creator program. If you’re passionate about dungeon creation, we also have opportunities for you to join the Komstructor Collective.

Come Die With Me

Four fiendishly ingenious Creators, one spectacular trophy, and seemingly infinite Create Mode ingredients clash in Come Die With Me. Watch the Sidemen compete for the highest score as they serve each other nightmarish dungeons, or clever artistic expressions depending on who you ask. What could possibly go wrong?

Catch the full video and then look forward to playing these levels with your frenemies.

Annals of Agony

Join six-time champion and nine-time intensive care patient, Juliana Spiderhead, as she untangles the Annals of Agony, a tantalizing glimpse into the rich history of the greatest game show in the universe—King of Meat. Throughout this video series, Juliana will provide a never before seen look at the show’s only banned weapon, take us closer than ever to the man inside the Buzzworth Billy costume, and more. Tune into the first episode here and then view the Annals of Agony tapestry for even greater untold King of Meat legends.

Community Platforms

The King of Meat Discord is the best place to reach our team. Say hello, meet other players, and provide feedback on how to make King of Meat better for every type of player. You can also look forward to community events, activities, and more after launch.

Komstructor Collective

All of the dungeons in King of Meat have been made with the same tools that you will use to create your own fiendish playgrounds. If you can play it, you can build it. There will be around 100 levels available for you to play at launch, but that number will quickly grow as the community pushes Create Mode beyond its limits.

The Komstructor Collective is a group of exemplary community members that love making dungeons. If you’d like to join, please submit your dungeons in Discord throughout our Technical Test. If your creations catch our eye, we’ll reach out via Discord. We’ll also host "Build Challenges" for you to show off your creativity and potentially join the Komstructor Collective. There’s no restrictions or requirements for what you can build, we just want to help empower players that love Create Mode.

Komstructor Collector perks include:

  • Featured in-game dungeons and title

  • Exclusive Discord channels

  • Appearance in the game credits for those that join pre-launch

  • Exclusive in-game Contender skin

  • Feedback play sessions

  • And more!
