Press release:
The Seattle-based (Washington, the US) indie games developer One More Game today announced with great delight and thrill that their  Co-op roguelite third-person shooter “SWAPMEAT” (a game where you swap body parts with the alien weirdos you fight to steal their abilities), is coming to PC via Steam in 2025.

The developer also shared the dates for what will be one of the final Meat Lab playtests for the game prior to launch. Running from May 15 through 22, players can sign up for Meat Lab 5 access at playSWAPMEAT.com to experience the game’s delightfully squishy – and surprisingly deep – meat-swapping gameplay mechanic. Aspiring Meat Scientists are encouraged to add SWAPMEAT to their Steam wishlist today.

The Meat Lab 5 open playtest will run from May 15 at 10 a.m. PT through May 22 at 5 p.m. PT. Players who refer three friends will get guaranteed access for their entire squad (while supplies last).

The latest updates and improvements in the beefy new Meat Lab 5 build include:

Welcome to Solar System 2
Take on an all-new Mutant Boss for the Mutant Space Wrestlers in Space Federation Championship Edition Belt
One new biome and three new planets
A fancy new-and-improved HUD
Spicy new combat changes
Weapon Switching
In-Run Weapon Upgrades
Updated Active Reload system
Elemental Damage & Status Effect revamp
Improvements to many Abilities’ overall feel
Lots of Ability, Weapon, Mutation, and Artifact balance
Gathering – You’ll now encounter Fish Rifts, Mineral Veins, and Ancient Technology that can be harvested to unlock and upgrade things on your ship. Careful, though, you will need to successfully extract from the planet if you intend to keep your haul
Materials Trader – Trader Mike will join you on your ship early on in Solar System 1 to offer you deals, purchase your extra goods, and ASK ABOUT YOUR EXPENSES

About SWAPMEAT:
In SWAPMEAT, players step into the boots of Meat Scientists working for the multi-galactic corporation Rangus Meats. Your mission? Raid the weirdest worlds in the cosmos, engage in exhilarating third-person combat, harvest DNA samples from the locals, and extract the planets’ meat cores. Whether solo or with a four-player co-op squad, you’ll battle alien weirdos and beefy bosses for their meaty trophies.

As you loot body parts – from heads and legs to torsos – you’ll enhance your character with game-changing abilities, switching up playstyles on the fly using Rangus Meats’ patented Smart Meat technology.

About One More Game
Founded by veteran developers behind genre-defining franchises like Warcraft, Diablo, League of Legends, and Guild Wars, One More Game is on a mission to help players have more fun. Started in 2019 by Patrick Wyatt and Jamie Stormbreaker, the Seattle-based (but fully remote) studio believes that involving players early in the development process is paramount to creating ground-breaking games.

One More Game is currently developing SWAPMEAT, a roguelite third-person shooter where you raid the weirdest worlds and angriest aliens in the universe…for their meat.

The title has won awards including the ‘Creative Overkill’ award at the 2024 devcom Indie Awards and most recently indieRift’s ‘Best Roguelike’ award at PAX East 2025. To learn more, visit www.onemoregame.com.
