TiGames made an appearance at this year’s Gamescom with its 3D action-adventure game set in the Animal Punk universe.

Taking place decades before the events of F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch, Zoopunk expands the beloved Animal Punk universe by chronicling the turbulent origins of Torch City, a metropolis of animals on the brink of revolution. This new video highlights key moves for the three playable heroes and offers a look at Zoopunk’s worldbuilding. There’s nostalgia for F.I.S.T. fans and plenty of discovery for everyone else. TiGames will release an additional five-minute gameplay video on the IGN Show on August 26.

Join a diverse cast of animal heroes on a journey through a world where untamed wilderness, advanced machinery, and civilizations shaped by conflict collide. At the center of this changing world is the Spark, a mysterious power that shapes technology, civilizations, and conflicts. The Machine Legion has emerged as a major enemy force, but the struggle in Zoopunk is more complicated than a simple war between animals and machines. Rival animal factions, shifting alliances, and different understandings of life, consciousness, and the soul contribute to a deeper conflict. The trailer showcases the vast war-torn landscapes, ranging from lush forests to high-flying airships — offering players a glimpse of the environments they will navigate.

Combat remains at the heart of Zoopunk, with gameplay built around distinct fighting styles inspired by animal traits. Each playable character has a unique approach to battle, allowing players to craft their own combat experience. For example, Rayton the Rabbit is agile and fast-paced. He specializes in melee combat and uses aerial combos to build energy before unleashing devastating electrically charged attacks. Braton the Rhino is a powerful brawler who wields a massive chainsaw and offers powerful defensive abilities, making him the team’s frontline anchor. Trixie the chipmunk is nimble and precise. She relies on acrobatics and hit-and-run tactics and combines stylish gun-fu with ammo management. The Gamescom trailer offers a first glimpse of a mysterious fourth protagonist: a serval whose identity fans can speculate about. Fans can also see the first animal enemy bosses of Zoopunk, which marks a departure from the animal vs. machine conflict of the previous game.

Zoopunk is currently in development for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC. The release date is still unknown.
