Super Meat Boy is now available for free on the Epic Games Store
Team Meat, the developers of Super Meat Boy, have confirmed that the game’s Sequel, Super Meat Boy Forever, will release in 2019 as an Epic Games Store timed exclusive, with the developer planning to release the game on Steam sometime in 2020. The game will also be released on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
To redeem the game PC users require a free Epic Games Store account, with the free promotion ending on January 10th. After this offer ends a new game will be available for free on the storefront, though this game has not been announced at this time.
