MECCHA CHAMELEON reached version 3.3.0 on July 27, 2026, and it is a focused content patch. The headline change is a new character option, the Plump body type, which joins the game’s existing set of size and shape choices for Hiders.
Quick answer: v3.3.0 adds the Plump body type. It is the current live build, so make sure your title screen reads v3.3.0 before joining a friend’s room.
What v3.3.0 changes
The update introduces the Plump body type as a selectable character shape. Body types matter in a paint-based hide-and-seek game because your silhouette is part of the disguise. A different body shape changes which props and background objects you can convincingly blend into, so the Plump option expands the range of hiding spots you can imitate.
No other gameplay systems were altered in this specific patch. The paint tools, maps, and Seeker mechanics carry over unchanged from the builds released earlier in the week.
Where v3.3.0 sits in the current v3.x timeline
MECCHA CHAMELEON has shipped several v3.x builds in a short span, and v3.3.0 is the newest of them. The table below shows the recent releases and what each one added, so you can tell whether an older tip still applies to your match.
| Version | Date | Main change |
|---|---|---|
| v3.3.0 | Jul 27, 2026 | Added the Plump body type. |
| v3.2.0 | Jul 25, 2026 | Added 12 emotes and removed the eyedropper button from the color palette. |
| v3.1.0 | Jul 25, 2026 | Added Garten of Banban map, non-UI controller gameplay, Medium shadows, GPU and controller-paint fixes, corrected 3D eyedropper sampling, and a MOD-map security patch. |
| v3.0.0 | Jul 20, 2026 | Added the Greece map; an EOS maintenance notice warned of temporary service downtime. |
| v2.9.0 | Jul 19, 2026 | Added glow-in-the-dark paint and improved paint performance. |
Two recent changes are worth remembering because they affect how you play right now. Controller support for non-UI gameplay has been available since v3.1.0, and the eyedropper button was removed from the color palette in v3.2.0. If a control tip references the old palette button, it is out of date.
How to confirm you are on v3.3.0
Steam applies updates automatically, but only when the client refreshes. If you left the game running or the client open, you may still be on an older build.
Context around the July 2026 updates
Alongside the recent patches, the developer’s official Steam post announced 15 million sales and teased a collaboration with a well-known Japanese star. Those two points are confirmed announcements. Separately, players have reported an auto-paint cheat that copies background detail onto Hider models, though no official anti-cheat fix note has been confirmed for that issue.
For now, v3.3.0 and its Plump body type are the live state of the game. Keep your client restarted between sessions so you stay on the current build and avoid the mismatch that blocks friend lobbies.
