The Zebra-Man release date set for January, new trailer

The Zebra-Man announced its release date today, and the game isn’t too far off. Zerouno Games is bringing it to Nintendo Switch on January 30, 2025.

The Zebra-Man was previously funded on Kickstarter. We then received official word that the top-down pixel art action game would appearing on Nintendo Switch almost a year ago.

Here’s an overview of the game:

The Zebra-Man! is a hyper-charged pixel art top-down action game with brutal fist fights and blood spilling in your wake. Get out of impossible situations while unraveling time paradoxes and blasting the enemies you encounter along the way.

It’s the 70s and a group of crazy scientists have been conducting atrocious experiments on you deep in a secret facility. When an unexpected ally in a raccoon mask rescues you in exchange for revenge, shedding your humanity and embracing your animal side might be your only way out.

Who is Alexander Cooper and why does the mysterious Raccoon man want you to kill him? What secrets are contained in this secret facility and what atrocities will you have to do to escape? Soon you’ll be caught up in impossible situations, time travel, time paradoxes, interdimensional portals and enemies who want to see you torn into a million bloody pieces.

With an unmistakable visual style, a groundbreaking soundtrack, live action cutscenes and your savage need for blood, The Zebra-Man! will test your wits and your tenacity through puzzles, fist fights and endless violence. All the information about the game can be found on its website, and its digital launch is scheduled for the 30th of January on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox.
