A new extended gameplay trailer for Zoopunk, showcased at the Xbox Partner Preview, reveals the action RPG prequel to F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch.

The Animal Punk universe is heading back in time. Revealed during the Xbox Partner Preview, a fresh extended gameplay trailer for Zoopunk gives players a deeper look at the action RPG prequel to F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch. Developed as an ambitious expansion of the beloved setting, the game drops players into Torch City decades before the original title, capturing a turbulent era on the absolute brink of revolution. IGN South Africa covered the reveal, highlighting how the upcoming release bridges narrative gaps for fans of the franchise while setting up a massive new playground for action RPG enthusiasts.
Set during the dawn of the First Torch War, the story kicks off when the discovery of fire seed energy triggers a wave of rapid technological growth followed immediately by catastrophic conflict. That energy spins wildly out of control, waking up mechanical debris and turning it into self-aware war machines. These creations quickly absorb the worst traits of their makers, turning against the animal populace to build an iron-fisted mechanical empire. Players will watch rival animal factions forced to put aside their differences and unite if they want any hope of surviving the onslaught.
When it launches, Zoopunk is slated to hit a wide net of platforms, covering PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and even the PlayStation 5 Pro. For cross-platform players and action game fans who love deep lore paired with high-tempo combat, this prequel looks like a world worth keeping on the radar. As developer updates roll out and we get closer to release, we will keep an eye on how these factions and combat systems shape up.
