Ziggurat Interactive, the publisher of multiplatform retro and modern games, is bringing back a top-selling title of the Dreamcast era. Made in partnership with the team behind the renowned Devil Engine (Devil May Cry) and featuring the writing talent of Miles Luna, co-creator of RWBY, Slave Zero X is an exciting new entry set in the same world as the original Slave Zero (1999). Today, we’re revealing two accomplished voice actors, Griffin Burns and Jordan Reynolds, lending their talents to this fast-paced, hard-hitting, biopunk action game.
Griffin Burns, known for iconic shows like Devilman Crybaby and Aggretsuko, will be taking up the sword as Shou, the game’s protagonist. Fueled by revenge, Shou will not rest until the SovKhan and the Five Calamities are dead and Isamu’s fate is revealed. By merging with a stolen Slave Unit Prototype, Shou will become a furious Devil in pursuit of killing a false God.
Jordan Reynolds, known for his voice talent in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and Lupin III, will bring life to the deadly assassin Atavaka, one of the Five Calamities. A masked and armored swordsman with a skin of polished alloys, Atavaka is the quintessential assassin. Razor sharpened to the very edge of possibility, he shears effortlessly through whatever SovKhan turns him against.
The newest title in the classic Dreamcast Slave Zero franchise will bring a whole new side-scrolling hack-n-slash experience to fans of the original game. A satisfyingly punishing game, Slave Zero X sees players donning a death-dealing biosuit to do battle against the violent forces of the tyrannical SovKhan. Featuring multiple gameplay modes and a variety of futuristic 2.5D dystopian urban levels to battle through, players will string together brutal combos and fight through waves of genetically enhanced biopunk opponents — all to the tune of a gnarly synth soundtrack.
Slave Zero X is slated to release in 2023 and is available on the wishlist now on Steam.
