MECCHA CHAMELEON Update 3.3.0 Adds the Plump Body Type

What the v3.3.0 patch changes, how it fits the v3.x timeline, and how to confirm you are on the current build.

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.

VersionDateMain change
v3.3.0Jul 27, 2026Added the Plump body type.
v3.2.0Jul 25, 2026Added 12 emotes and removed the eyedropper button from the color palette.
v3.1.0Jul 25, 2026Added 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.
v3.0.0Jul 20, 2026Added the Greece map; an EOS maintenance notice warned of temporary service downtime.
v2.9.0Jul 19, 2026Added 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 If a control tip references the old palette button, it is out of date.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.

Fully close MECCHA CHAMELEON and restart Steam so the download queues and installs.
Launch the game and read the version label on the title screen. It should show v3.3.0.
If a friend cannot join your room right after the patch, have every player repeat the restart and compare title-screen versions. A version mismatch is the most common reason a lobby fails after an update, and all players must be on the same build to connect.

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.
