Mewgenics – the new roguelike tactical RPG from Tyler Glaiel and Edmund McMillen (creator of Super Meat Boy, The Binding of Isaac, and more) – just hit another player record on Steam, surpassing Hades 2, but its devs are clearly hopeful that they can take down even more all-time roguelike rivals yet.

Yesterday, per SteamDB, Mewgenics hit 115,428 concurrent players on Steam, just under a week after its initial launch. As pointed out in a Twitter post by Glaiel, this means it has now surpassed Hades 2's all-time concurrent player record on Steam by over 2,000 players (it hit 112,947 Steam players shortly after leaving Early Access last September).
