Japanese game creator ZOO Games is set to release a new game this month.
ZOO Games announced that they would launch Mystic Gate on February 9. The roguelike dungeon exploration game will be available for PC and Nintendo Switch.
Mystic Gate will also mark ZOO Games' entry into Nintendo. They said the upcoming game would be their first title for Nintendo Switch. It is scheduled for release on the Nintendo eShop this March 9 PST, or a month after its PC launch, ZOO Games confirmed.
An ode to classic roguelike shooter games, Mystic Gate will take players into a pixel art world. The story begins after the gods created a ‘gate’ that connects their world with the mortals on earth. Players must guide the protagonist and his robot companion into exploring the uncharted realm beyond the gate.
According to its creators, Mystic Gate will feature several unique battle mechanics. One of which is a dynamic battlefield that 'keeps players guessing," said ZOO Games. This means that players can expect a different dungeon in every combat.
With changing dungeon layouts, randomly positioned enemies, and loot players get a unique & intense experience that’s never the same twice,developers described. Boss battles also await players in Mystic Gate, they added.
Before revealing the official release date, ZOO Games held two demo events for the game during the Steam Next Festival last October 2022. ZOO Games said Mystic Gate would launch in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish. Developers will also be giving discounts during the game's first first-week release.
ZOO Games is the entertainment and gaming arm of ZOO Corporation. Founded in 1986, ZOO Corporation is a software-developing company based in Ueda city in Nagano, Japan. / ###
