Mega Cat Studios' Lethal Wedding has cleared its initial Kickstarter target and revealed a slate of platform and collaborator stretch goals that bring the project beyond its original Genesis/Mega Drive scope.
The campaign went live June 2, 2026, and by the June 12, 2026 update the project had already hit its $15,000 goal, prompting the studio to publish additional funding milestones tied to ports and special extras.
Background and timeline
Lethal Wedding is a top-down action shooter positioned as a love letter to 16-bit era shooters inspired by Zombies Ate My Neighbours.
Mega Cat originally announced the Genesis/Mega Drive release in 2024 and officially launched the crowdfunding campaign in June 2026 after prior delays.
In a May 7, 2026 statement, the developer explained it had not set a formal release date and that team priorities had shifted between projects; the hands-on reception at MAGFest in January 2026 reinforced the studio’s confidence in the title.
Paraphrased developer statement
Mega Cat Studios said it never announced an official release date for Lethal Wedding and that the team has periodically shifted focus between projects as priorities changed.
The company added it remains enthusiastic about delivering a 16-bit–inspired experience, noting the game was well received during a MAGFest Indie Video Game Showcase in January 2026 and that the team has further announcements planned in the coming weeks.
