Mixed Realms, the Singapore-based studio behind Sairento VR and Gordian Quest, has just revealed a new action-packed trailer for its upcoming roguelike 13Z: The Zodiac Trials during the Southeast Asian Games Showcase: Summer Game Fest Edition.
Drawing from Eastern mythology and the Chinese Zodiac, 13Z is a co-op hack-and-slash where players embody mythical animal spirits battling demons and legendary guardians to earn a place among the celestial elite. The latest trailer showcases never-before-seen footage, intense combat, and the game’s vibrant, stylized aesthetic.
🕹️ The best part? The playtest is now live on Steam—but only for a limited time.
🔥 Fight for Ascension as the 13th Zodiac Guardian
In 13Z: The Zodiac Trials, you’re more than just a warrior—you’re a myth in motion. Whether playing solo or in 2–4 player online co-op, you’ll choose from a roster of animal spirits and dive into randomized dungeons filled with demonic enemies, elemental traps, and fearsome Zodiac bosses. Each run is a chance to rewrite fate and prove your worth as the mysterious 13th Guardian.
