By MecchaGuide Editorial Published Updated · verified v2.7.0

Summary

v2.7.0 is the current public Steam branch (July 12, 2026). Headline additions: the official Egypt map, per-map random lottery toggles, random elements on Penguin Hotel, and a HIKAKIN Museum wall-stuck fix.

Confirm the build string on the title screen matches your lobby. Official wording: Steam news hub.


What changed

1. Official map — Egypt

A new official stage Egypt is available in the base map list. Everyone in the lobby needs v2.7.0 to load it. Full spots guide: Egypt Map Guide.

Browse other bundled stages on the Official Maps hub.

2. Random map lottery — per-map toggles

When playing on random maps, hosts can toggle each map ON or OFF in the lottery pool.

Collaboration maps default to OFF — turn on HIKAKIN Museum (and other collab stages) explicitly if you want them in rotation.

3. Penguin Hotel — random elements

The official Penguin Hotel map gained random elements. Familiar suite and lobby routes may differ round-to-round — retest spots after updating. Full baseline guide: Penguin Hotel.

4. HIKAKIN Museum — wall stuck fix

Fixed players getting stuck too deeply into walls on the HIKAKIN Museum collaboration map (shipped in v2.6.0).

Frequently asked questions

Common player questions — written for search and AI citation.

What changed in Meccha Chameleon v2.7.0?

v2.7.0 adds the official Egypt map, lets hosts toggle each map in/out of the random-map lottery (collaboration maps default OFF), adds random elements to Penguin Hotel, and fixes players getting stuck in HIKAKIN Museum walls.

Is v2.7.0 the current live Steam build?

No — v2.7.0 added Egypt and random-map toggles, but the current public branch is v3.0.0 (Greece map). See /updates/v3-0-0.

How do random map toggles work?

When hosting random maps, you can turn each official map ON or OFF in the lottery. Collaboration maps like HIKAKIN Museum are OFF by default — enable them manually if you want them in rotation.

Did Penguin Hotel change?

Yes — v2.7.0 adds random elements to the official Penguin Hotel stage. Retest favorite spots; see our Penguin Hotel guide for baseline routes.
