About
Set decades before the events of F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch, ZOOPUNK expands the beloved Animal Punk universe, chronicling the turbulent origins of Torch City, an animal metropolis on the brink of revolution. Fans familiar with F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch will recognize some familiar yet new details, offering both nostalgia and discovery as they explore this vibrant new story.
ZOOPUNK was one of only a handful of games to debut during the Xbox Partner Preview Showcase. The new trailer illustrated the story arc, offered a first look at gameplay and an introduction of new characters. Watch the extended trailer for a deeper look at the environments, combat, and game design which aims to break away from the typical “Metroidvania” style.
A New Chapter in the Torch City Saga

In ZOOPUNK, players witness the dawn of the First Torch War, when the discovery of the fire seed energy sparks an age of rapid technological progress and catastrophic conflict. As the energy spirals out of control, it awakens mechanical debris into self-aware, unstoppable war machines. Initially created to harness energy, these machines soon adopt violence from their creators, turning against the animals and establishing a mechanical empire bent on domination. With the city in chaos, animals from rival factions must unite to resist this overwhelming force.
The theme of the soul sits at the center of the story. The root of all conflicts between animals and the mechanical army lies in their differing perceptions of the soul. Animals see it as innate and inseparable from life, while the mechanical army believes the soul can be copied and learned.

The World of ZOOPUNK
All atoms on the planet are governed by a vast central network. The Fire Seed acts as the medium through which this planetary network transmits its signal. Any substance touched by the Fire Seed is transformed, reshaped according to the will of the Creator. With such an unstable force at its core, the world of ZOOPUNK has fractured into isolated regions, each moulded by its own geography, resources, and ideology.
Players will traverse a series of immersive, war-torn landscapes, including a nomadic network of mechanics and wanderers, a volcanic industrial fortress, a rare sanctuary of purity amid the chaos, and a crumbling citadel where military order decays into ruin.
Dynamic Combat and Character Diversity
Combat remains at the heart of ZOOPUNK, with gameplay designed around distinct fighting styles inspired by animal traits. Each playable character offers a unique approach to battle, enabling players to craft their own signature combat experience.
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
In the extended trailer, the protagonist, Rayton the Rabbit, is joined by Braton and Trixie to infiltrate the enemy’s heavily fortified domain to seize the Spark, racing to protect the threatened Torch City.
From the world of F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch, a new chapter unfolds. A ZOOPUNK journey of metal, wilds, and will.
