Clouded Leopard Entertainment and Mixed Realms Pte have announced that 13Z: The Zodiac Trials, a 3D action roguelike, will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on January 14, 2027.
The announcement confirms the title supports both single-player runs and cooperative play for up to four players and positions the game within a fast-paced, combo-driven hack-and-slash framework.
The announcement frames the game's premise as a celestial competition: animal spirits from across the realms vie to claim the thirteenth seat of the zodiac.
Players take control of warriors imbued with these spirits, confront demons and Guardians inspired by Eastern mythology, and repeatedly refine strategies and builds as they progress through roguelike runs.
The developers describe each run as a fresh climb where upgrades, modifiers, and shifting arenas reshape encounters and player progression.
Gameplay and characters
13Z: The Zodiac Trials is presented as a 3D action roguelike focused on fluid combat and replayability.
Players will master combos, unlock new powers, and configure builds that change how battles play out.
The announcement highlights a cast of animal-spirited characters with distinct combat styles.
Two named examples include Fox, a lightning-fast swordswoman noted for rapid sword strikes, and Raven, a reaper-style fighter who attacks from above with razor-like feathers.
Modes and multiplayer
The game will offer a Solo Mode for players who prefer precision-driven single-player runs, and a Co-op Mode that supports two to four players for shared progression against tougher enemies and bosses.
The announcement also notes cooperative runs introduce additional challenges that test teamwork.
Release and availability
13Z: The Zodiac Trials is scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch 2 on January 14, 2027.
The announcement was accompanied by an official trailer outlining gameplay and tone.
Clouded Leopard Entertainment and Mixed Realms Pte have not disclosed additional distribution details or platform windows beyond the Nintendo Switch 2 launch; further information about retail availability, pricing, and digital storefront listings is expected from the publishers as the release date approaches.
For players tracking upcoming action roguelikes on Nintendo hardware, 13Z: The Zodiac Trials adds a mythologically themed, co-op-focused option to the Switch 2 lineup.
Fans should watch the studios' official channels for updates, patches, and launch-day details.
