Here are the latest details, via TiGames:

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. There’s nostalgia for F.I.S.T. fans and plenty of discovery for everyone else, as this new video highlights key moves for the three playable heroes, offers a look at ZOOPUNK‘s worldbuilding, and more.
TiGames will also release an additional five-minute gameplay video on the IGN Show on August 26.
The World of ZOOPUNK

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 continues to shape its 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 all contribute to a deeper conflict.
The trailer captures the breadth of these war-torn landscapes, sweeping from lush forests to high-flying airships – a first taste of the environments players will battle their way through.

Dynamic Combat and Character Diversity
Combat remains at the heart of ZOOPUNK, with gameplay built around distinct fighting styles inspired by animal traits. Each playable character brings a unique approach to battle, letting players craft their own signature combat experience:
Rayton the Rabbit – Agile and fast-paced, specialising in melee combat he uses aerial combos to build energy before unleashing devastating electrically charged attacks.
Braton the Rhino – A powerhouse brawler wielding a massive chainsaw, and offering powerful defensive abilities, making him the team’s frontline anchor.
Trixie the Chipmunk – Nimble and precise, relying on acrobatics and hit-and-run tactics, she combines stylish gun-fu with ammo management.
The Gamescom trailer offers a first glimpse of a mysterious fourth protagonist, a serval whose identity is left for fans to speculate on. Fans can also see the first animal enemy bosses of ZOOPUNK, a departure from the previous animal vs. machine conflict of the first game.
ZOOPUNK is at Gamescom 2026
Beyond the Opening Night Live reveal, ZOOPUNK is on the ground in Cologne throughout Gamescom, where TiGames is being supported by backer Tencent Games with a dedicated space at its booth in the business area (Hall 4.2 – B035).
