Ziggurat Interactive and Poppy Works have announced Slave Zero X, a 2.5D character action game prequel to 1999’s Slave Zero. This new game is based on the concept drawings of the previous title, and while the original vision for Slave Zero couldn’t come to fruition due to budget and development time, the original vision will be realized here.
Slave Zero X will be a 2D side-scrolling action where players string together brutal combos while traversing a dangerous 2.5D world, where players will don a death-dealing biosuit in order to fight against the forces of the evil SovKhan.
The following will be included.
- Side-Scrolling Hack and Slash: Chain together lethal attack combos with your sword and an array of explosive ordinance while leaping, sprinting, and flipping your way through a grim biopunk world
- Stunning Set Pieces: Conquer mini-bosses and climactic archvillians in unforgettable combat sequences
- Action-Packed Heroic Missions: Battle your way through massive levels, mazes, and boss-rushes in a dynamic 2.5D world
- Epic and Dynamic Ambiance: Immerse yourself in a world of heavy Drum ‘n Bass and industrial tracks that get more intense as the action heats up
Slave Zero X will release on Switch, Pc, Xbox, PS4 and PS5.
