_TiGames brings its F.I.S.T. prequel to one of gaming’s biggest stages, showcasing
the combat styles of three playable heroes, striking new worlds, and a first glimpse
of a mysterious fourth character_

SHANGHAI, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TiGames today unveiled a brand new trailer
for its third-person Action RPG [ZOOPUNK](https://playzoopunk.com/) during gamescom
Opening Night Live, one of the industry’s most-watched showcases. The trailer gave
a global audience an early look at this ambitious prequel to F.I.S.T.: Forged in
Shadow Torch, introducing its three playable heroes, showcasing a range of striking
environments from lush forests to flying airships, and teasing a mysterious fourth
character for the very first time. ZOOPUNK will launch on PC and console.

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.

See the new trailer [here](https://youtu.be/UM-fS6u89vI) for a deeper look at the
characters, combat, and worlds of Torch City.

TiGames will also release an additional five-minute gameplay video on the IGN Show,
Wednesday 26th.

**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). From there, the team 
is sharing the game’s latest build with media through behind-closed-doors demos.

To showcase the game at its best and deliver a smooth, immersive demo, the stations
in the Business Area are powered by GeForce RTX 5080 PCs built by ALTERNATE and 
NVIDIA, and completed with premium Razer gaming peripherals, including the Razer
Wolverine controller and Razer BlackShark headset.

ZOOPUNK will launch on PC and Console, with additional details set to be announced
in the near future.
