Super Meat Boy 2 is a possibility, according to Team Meat

An official sequel for Super Meat Boy is not something Team Meat is opposed to, the duo has said. In a recent interview with Game Informer, artist Edmund McMillen indicated that Super Meat Boy Forever, an auto-scrolling instalment coming to PC, may not be the last adventure for everyone's favourite chunk of red meat. Indeed, the studio's work on Forever has inspired fresh ideas for a potential sequel.

"What we talked about was possibly working on a sequel, and it's something that I like a lot. There were aspects of Forever that were moves that Meat Boy did...that we were prototyping that felt like they could be better used in a sequel. The future of Meat Boy is definitely up in the air, but a sequel is something that I wouldn't be opposed to doing even though we both said that we wouldn't do it."

Super Meat Boy is one of my favourite games, but I'm not holding my breath for a sequel. If it happens, it's likely to be a while away: Team Meat has a habit of announcing cool stuff and taking aaaages to release it, which is totally fine and acceptable and understandable because they make amazing games, but... oh boy do I want a new Super Meat Boy tomorrow. I need it back in my life.
