Feline Strategy Sensation Mewgenics Surpasses One Million Sales in First Week
Mewgenics has enjoyed a phenomenal debut. Following a protracted, decade-long development cycle, the cat-breeding strategy epic finally arrived on February 10 to immediate acclaim. The game’s financial success was instantaneous, recouping its entire development budget in a mere three hours. One week later, the title has officially joined the prestigious million-seller club.
Project co-creator Tyler Glaiel announced the milestone via social media, confirming that Mewgenics reached one million copies sold in just seven days. This achievement is particularly striking considering the game is currently exclusive to the Steam platform.
Born from the creative minds of Edmund McMillen (The Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy) and Tyler Glaiel (The End is Nigh), Mewgenics is a deep, roguelike turn-based strategy experience. Players are tasked with breeding unique feline parties to navigate high-stakes, ever-evolving tactical battles. The gaming community has enthusiastically embraced the title’s immense scale—which offers upwards of 200 hours of content—resulting in a “Very Positive” rating on Steam and an impressive 89 Metascore.
