The path to Mewgenics was a long one. It was revealed in 2012—yes, that's 14 years ago—and then delayed, and then cancelled outright. In 2018 Edmund McMillen announced that work had resumed, but instead of working with Team Meat partner Tommy Refenes, he was collaborating with Tyler Glaiel. A bit after that he warned that Mewgenics was still "a few years" away, and, well, eight years later, here we are.

Despite that long haul (or, maybe more likely, because of it), McMillen said in a new AMA on Reddit that finally getting Mewgenics out the door after all these years was a real moment of triumph—and one he never doubted.

"When the game was canceled I was crushed, but what could I do?" he wrote. "I can't force someone to enjoy working on a project only I was excited about. Not being able to work on something like that, something I believed in so much was quite depressing and probably one of the bigger reasons I decided to move on from [Team Meat]."
