Glowmade and Amazon Games present:
A co-op combat spectacle filled with the ridiculous!
Tonight at Gamescom, Glowmade and our publishing partners at Amazon Games finally announced King of Meat – a one through four player online co-op combat spectacle, pitching fearless Contenders into battle against a gauntlet of masterpiece dungeons! It’s been such a long time coming, and it’s with unparalleled joy that we unleash our weird little chaos baby into the world!
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, glamour, and media-infatuation of modern day celebrity. And the focus of this obsession is the wildest survival game show imaginable, “KING OF MEAT”.
So what the heck is it about?
Nothing is off the table in King of Meat There’s giant horse hooves, intergalactic black holes, exploding ducks and sausage-meat gym jocks – and that’s without the hundreds of ways to master weapons, customise your Contender, or even build your own dungeons!
Did you say build your own dungeons?! Absolutely I did! Glowmade live to empower people to play creatively: our create mode’s not just a bonus, but a core feature!
With creation tools built into the engine – the exact same ones used by the devs to make all our levels! – if you can imagine it, you can build it! What traps, tricks and trials are hidden in that dastardly brain of yours? Use all your cunning and creativity to build the most fun, outrageous inventive challenges for other King of Meat Contenders to face, and earn rewards from the community. The very best will be famed and celebrated across all of Loregok, and beyond!
King of Meat was unveiled during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, with this oh-so-beautiful trailer right here:
How do the devs describe it?
Whether you want to spend time 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.”

Become The Ultimate Contender
Battle with a team of up to four brave Contenders, and slaughter with finesse 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 utilise weapons, combos and over-the-top Glory Moves to complete dungeons in the most imaginative ways.
Sounds easy? It is, once you’ve got past the the lava pits, ice traps, giant hammers, angry trolls, flying eyeballs and psychotic imps.
Build For Battle As A Dungeon Creator
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 even the most intricate and challenging dungeons with ease, and become the most revered dungeon creator that all of Loregok fears and celebrates!
Stand Up and Stand Out With Customisation
In King of Meat creative self-expression is encouraged, welcomed and rewarded. The deep customisation suite in the game lets you choose outfits, accessories and emotes toshow off your style and creativity.
Want to play as a neon purple squid in heels covered in horns, with a duck on your head? Or perhaps you’d like to be a multicoloured traffic cone gladiator with toxic mushroom 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 customisation suite also contains weapons, attacks and Glory Moves – which will give you and your teammates the ability to run dungeons and celebrate victories in the most chaotic and entertaining ways possible.
