The Quest to Become the 13th Zodiac Guardian

13Z introduces players to a perilous journey of becoming the legendary 13th Zodiac Guardian. Unlike anything in the traditional zodiac, this new guardian represents a fresh twist in the mythical narrative. Players will face monster-infested stages, battle the established Zodiac Guardians, and explore varied combat styles. Each playthrough is designed to be unique, offering new challenges and opportunities that ensure no two gaming experiences are the same.

A Living, Breathing World

Slated for a 2026 launch, 13Z also features a dynamic village hub that evolves with player progression. After each run, players return to this village where they can interact with villagers, upgrade their skills, and prep for the next challenge. The village grows and thrives with each player victory, reflecting their progress and achievements in the game.


Upcoming Events and Playtests

Excitingly, 13Z will be showcased at the GFusion & Tokyo Game Show later this month, offering attendees a first-hand experience through a global playtest. Gamers interested in early access and updates can wishlist 13Z on Steam today to ensure they're among the first to trial the Zodiac Guardians.

Key Features to Anticipate

  • Ascend to Zodiac Stardom: Challenge the 12 established Zodiac Guardians and claim your place as the 13th.
  • Diverse Cast of Characters: From a swift Fox swordswoman to a cunning Cat ninja, choose your avatar from a lineup of characters each offering distinct abilities.
  • Roguelike Replayability: Every run is different with customizable abilities and strategic decisions that reshape your gameplay experience.
  • Solo or Co-op Play: Brave the trials alone or join forces with friends in cooperative gameplay that adapts to your team size.
