Zoopunk Gameplay Showcase Gives Us Our First Real Look at TiGames' Sci-Fi Animal Prequel
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
TiGames revealed new gameplay footage for Zoopunk during the Xbox Partner Showcase, highlighting sci-fi animal combat and its connection to F.I.S.T. ahead of a 2027 launch on PC and consoles.
TiGames is leaning further into animal-centric action with a fresh gameplay trailer for Zoopunk, a third-person sci-fi adventure currently slated for a 2027 release on PC and consoles. Spotted during the latest Xbox Partner Showcase, the footage highlights fast-paced combat and distinct anthropomorphic character designs that immediately stand out in the crowded action space.
If the visual style feels familiar, that is because the studio is crafting Zoopunk as a narrative prequel to its previous metroidvania effort, F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch. While stepping away from strict 2.5D exploration into a fully realized third-person perspective is a massive pivot for the development team, the gritty, dieselpunk-infused aesthetic clearly carries over to this new universe.
We still have a lengthy wait ahead before the game hits our libraries in 2027, but early glimpses of the combat mechanics and world-building suggest TiGames is aiming well beyond a simple genre repeat. As the studio continues to refine its sci-fi sandbox, community interest is already building around how the prequel ties into the wider lore established by their previous titles.
