What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“M.E.A.T. II: Absolute Zero (MEAT 2) is already fully playable and delivers the core experience we want to build upon as fast-paced FPS combat, arena-based encounters, and a strong blood retro-inspired atmosphere.

We chose Early Access because we believe player feedback is crucial in shaping the final experience. While the current version is stable and enjoyable, there are areas we want to improve before the full release. Early Access gives us the opportunity to grow the game together with the community.

As an indie studio, we are developing multiple projects in parallel, including the online title M.E.A.T. Veterans. Early Access allows us to share our progress with players while continuing to refine and expand both games.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to continue development of M.E.A.T. II: Absolute Zero (MEAT 2) until Q4 2026, alongside the full release of the game.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to significantly expand and improve M.E.A.T. II: Absolute Zero (MEAT 2) throughout the Early Access period.

Our current development goals include:
1) New maps, additional modes, and arenas (several new chapters)
2) Additional objectives and gameplay challenges
3) New weapons and special mechanics
4)Further balance improvements and overall polish

The scope and details of future development may change depending on progress and community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version of M.E.A.T. II: Absolute Zero (MEAT 2) is playable and showcases all core gameplay systems.

Optimization & compatibility is still under development. With every update, we aim to make the game fully playable on all possible devices and screen sizes.

Players currently have access to:
1) The protagonist’s special abilities
2) Fast-paced combat systems and weapon-specific abilities
3) Six full maps (chapters)
4) An additional agility-focused arena level
5) Six boss fights on dedicated arenas

The game already delivers its intended atmosphere, pacing, and brutal combat, which we will continue to expand and refine with each Early Access update.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. We plan to increase the price of the game upon the full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We maintain active collaboration with the community throughout the entire Early Access period. Player feedback, suggestions, and bug reports are a key part of our development process, and our development team reviews every reported issue.

The main place for discussion will be the Steam Community Hub and forums. Players can also share their feedback through our social media channels or directly via email at: feedback@meatrpg.com”

About This Game

M.E.A.T. II: Absolute Zero (MEAT 2) is a brutal, fast-paced boomer shooter where death doesn’t punish you, it teaches you.

Sir Duncan Culligan fears neither blood-soaked walls, grotesque mutants with their organs spilling out, nor death itself. The game throws you straight into chaos and demonic carnage, where your only goal is to conquer the hell created by the occult MBSXII Sect.

M.E.A.T. II is a classic FPS inspired by iconic shooters of the past, enhanced with a modern movement system, powerful special abilities, and relentless combat pace. The world is drenched in dark horror atmosphere, gore, brutal enemies, and absolutely no mercy.

GAMEPLAY (EARLY ACCESS)

  • Fast, aggressive combat under constant enemy pressure

  • 6 full story chapters available in Early Access

  • 6 intense boss fights, each with unique mechanics

  • Additional arena / challenge mode

  • No hand-holding, skill matters

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Master devastating powers to survive against the MBSXII Sect:

Combat is fast, aggressive, and unforgiving.

You will die.
You will learn.
You will play better.

BRUTALITY & CHALLENGE

Enemies will not let you pass until they are destroyed. Mistakes are punished instantly.

Blood covers walls and floors. Limbs fly through the air. Mutants scream and explode.

M.E.A.T. II is made for players who embrace challenge.

Face grotesque mutants, twisted abominations, and the occult MBSXII Sect.

STORY & SERIES CONTINUATION

M.E.A.T. II: Absolute Zero is a direct continuation of the original M.E.A.T. RPG.
This time, the story is told through brutal first-person FPS gameplay.

Once again step into the boots of Sir Duncan H. Culligan, a man broken by tragedy, epidemic, and the collapse of a 19th-century Canadian mining town. Death of loved ones and spreading evil are only the beginning.

The occult MBSXII Sect, using a mysterious substance known as Rock Resin (Telestarion), is preparing a catastrophe far greater than a local apocalypse. Culligan must confront the architects of humanity’s worst nightmares and uncover the true origin of Telestarion - a substance now flowing through his own veins.

This time, the story isn’t told with words... It’s delivered with pure telestarion powered lead.

ATMOSPHERE & VOICE ACTING

  • Dark horror atmosphere with black humor

  • Retro pixel-art 2D visuals combined with 3D environments and modern effects

  • Aggressive, high-energy soundtrack composed by Brainfreezer

  • Voice acting:
    Skits (DOPE D.O.D.) English version
    SŁOŃ (Brain Dead Familia) Polish version
