The Binding of Isaac creator's new roguelike Mewgenics already has over a third of the achievements of Isaac despite it being 11 years and 3 expansions ahead

Edmund McMillen has posted an image on social media striking fear into the hearts of many – Mewgenics will have 280 achievements on Steam at launch.

After first being announced in 2012, Mewgenics is finally releasing next month on February 10, 2026. The game was cancelled in 2016, but subsequently rebooted back in 2018, and since then McMillen has been hyping it up as his opus, noting that The Binding of Isaac – perhaps the best roguelike game of all time – was only a practise run of a "basic roguelike" to "get my feet in the water" of the genre. McMillen recently said you may just see "a turn-based game with cats fucking," but described Mewgenics as "very D&D."
