About

ZOOPUNK takes place decades before the events of F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch and delves into the beginnings of Torch City, a bustling animal city on the verge of an uprising. While building on the world of Animal Punk, the game offers a fresh story with both familiar elements for fans of F.I.S.T. and exciting new discoveries.

ZOOPUNK was a standout game featured at the Xbox Partner Preview Showcase. The new trailer revealed the game’s story, showed off gameplay for the first time, and introduced players to its characters. The extended trailer provides a closer look at the game’s unique environments, exciting combat, and design, which offers a fresh take on the Metroidvania genre.

A New Chapter in the Torch City Saga

In the world of ZOOPUNK, players experience the beginning of the First Torch War. This conflict erupts when a powerful new energy source, the fire seed, leads to both incredible technological advancements and devastating war. As this energy grows unstable, it brings discarded machines to life, turning them into powerful, independent war machines. Originally built to control energy, these machines learn violence from their creators and turn against the animal population, establishing a mechanical empire with a desire for control. With their city thrown into chaos, animals from opposing groups must join forces to fight back against this overwhelming threat.

The story revolves around the concept of the soul. The central conflict between the animals and the robots stems from how they view it. Animals naturally believe every living thing possesses a soul, while the robots think it’s something that can be replicated or acquired.

The World of ZOOPUNK

Everything on the planet is connected by a huge, hidden network of energy. The Fire Seed is like the central hub of this network, sending out a powerful signal. When something touches the Fire Seed, it’s completely changed, reshaped by the planet’s original creator. Because this energy is so unpredictable, the world of ZOOPUNK has broken apart into separate areas, each with its own unique landscape, resources, and beliefs.

Players will journey through a variety of detailed and war-ravaged environments. These include a roaming community of mechanics and travelers, a heavily industrialized fortress built around a volcano, a peaceful haven untouched by the surrounding conflict, and a decaying city where the military has lost control.

Dynamic Combat and Character Diversity

ZOOPUNK’s gameplay centers around exciting combat, where each character fights using moves inspired by different animals. This allows players to develop their own personal fighting style and create a truly unique experience in battle.

  • Braton the Rhino – A powerhouse brawler wielding a massive flame sword
  • Rayton the Rabbit – Agile and fast-paced, specialising in melee combat
  • Trixie the Chipmunk–  Nimble and precise, relying on acrobatics and hit-and-run tactics

The latest trailer shows Rayton the Rabbit teaming up with Braton and Trixie on a dangerous mission: sneaking into the enemy’s stronghold to steal the Spark and save Torch City.

A new story begins in the world of F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch. It’s a thrilling adventure—a ZOOPUNK tale filled with metal, untamed nature, and unwavering determination.
