Morning Save Point: Super Meat Boy Again+, Coffee Stain Buys Chronicles IP

Good morning. Sunday delivers the quiet-before-the-storm energy that only happens when GTA 6 launches in four days. Team17 announced a full Super Meat Boy remaster with new levels and a remixed mode. Coffee Stain bought a medieval city-builder IP for DKK 36.75M. Blizzard slashed WoW raid damage by up to 84%. And Skyrim is still selling for the price of a sandwich. Let’s get into it.

The big one

Team17 and Mega Cat Studios revealed Super Meat Boy Again+, a full remaster of the precision platformer with new levels, a new soundtrack by Danny Baranowsky, and an “Again+” mode that remixes every stage with new hazards. Again+ is a remix mode that rearranges enemy placement, saw positions, and timing windows across all original levels. It’s not a sequel; think Super Meat Boy Forever’s procedural structure applied to the original’s hand-crafted precision platforming. The Steam page is live with a release window of “early 2027.” This is the first major Meat Boy news since Forever in 2020. The Again+ mode suggests Mega Cat wants to give speedrunners and completionists a fresh mountain to climb without reinventing the formula. Our coverage

The Again+ naming is clever: it signals a remix instead of a sequel, which manages expectations while giving the devs room to experiment with level design. If the new soundtrack matches Baranowsky’s original, this could be the definitive version. The remaster also adds a level editor, which Forever lacked, meaning the community can build and share Again+-style remixes indefinitely.

Quick guide: What to play this week

Also happening

Coffee Stain acquires Chronicles: Medieval IP for DKK 36.75M (~$5.3M). The Embracer-owned publisher bought the medieval city-builder IP from the bankrupt Polish studio Frosty Games. Coffee Stain says they’ll “honor the original vision” and target a 2027 release. The acquisition is small by Embracer standards but signals Coffee Stain’s continued push into simulation (they published Satisfactory and Deep Rock Galactic, and now they own a city-builder IP with a dedicated modding community). Our coverage

WoW raid penalties slashed up to 84% in Venomous Abyss. Venomous Abyss is the final boss encounter in the Liberation of Undermine raid. Blizzard’s hotfix yesterday cut the damage from “Penetrating Venom” and “Abyssal Crush” mechanics in the raid’s final phase. The change targets a difficulty spike that was wiping groups at 3% on Mythic. Blizzard called it “a tuning adjustment, not a nerf” (the distinction matters for Hall of Fame eligibility).

Crazy Taxi World Tour adds India as its final World Tour destination. SEGA’s Apple Arcade exclusive (now on Steam) dropped the “Welcome to Mumbai” update with a new map, three licensed tracks, and the first non-Western city in the series. The update is free for existing owners. Our coverage

Out today

Nothing notable releases today, November 15. The next big launch is Crusader Kings III: Silk & Silver on Monday (Nov 17), followed by Grand Theft Auto VI on Thursday (Nov 19).

Deal of the day

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition for $7.99 (80% off, was $39.99) on Steam. Ends November 18 at 12:00 PM CT. This is the version with all three DLCs (Dawnguard, Hearthfire, Dragonborn) and the Creation Club content baked in. If you’ve somehow never played it, or you want the cleanest base for modding, this is the price to grab it. The Anniversary Edition upgrade is separate and not on sale.

One more thing

EA’s marketing team posted a tongue-in-cheek plea on X yesterday begging players not to uninstall Madden NFL 27 to make room for GTA 6’s install size (rumored at 150 GB+ on console). The tweet read: “We put three years into Franchise Mode 2.0. Please don’t delete us for the guy who yells at his TV in a Hawaiian shirt.” It’s funny because it’s true: GTA 6’s pre-load starts Tuesday, and console storage anxiety is about to hit a fever pitch. Rockstar still hasn’t confirmed the exact install size, but the PS5 store listing briefly showed “150 GB minimum” before it was pulled.

What’s the one game you’re clearing space for this week, and what’s getting deleted to make room?
