New Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Game ZPF Gets A Brand New Lore Trailer & Prospective Launch Date

ZPF lore trailer announcement

Don’t worry, you haven’t gone back in time. This is still 2025 and you’re still the same age you were when you woke up this morning, but we do have a new 16-bit cartridge coming our way thanks to Mega Cat Studios. Not content with bringing us a new game for the NES featuring The Angry Video Game nerd, they’re back with more physical media for nostalgia lovers with ZPF, the hotly anticipated 16-bit shoot-em-up game that took Kickstarter by storm!

A new Lore Trailer has released to help you get hooked on the story of ZPF, all accompanied by some incredible artwork of characters and locations key to the plot. Check out the video below and immerse yourself in some glorious retro action!

ZPF raised over 1000% of its funding goal on Kickstarter in July 2024, which I think we can all agree is a massive success story! Development on the game is pretty much complete with finishing touches being made to get it ready for a prospective launch this May.

‘We know this is a bit later than expected and that delays for any reason are frustrating,’ say Mega Cat Studios, ‘and we truly appreciate your understanding as we work through these final details to make the ZPF campaign fulfillment the very best it can be. That said, if the materials we’re waiting on arrive sooner, we’ll absolutely make sure to get them into your hands as quickly as possible. We’ll be taking advantage of this extra time by focusing on further playtesting and QA so we can catch any sneaky bugs we might’ve missed, and guarantee a smoother and more enjoyable experience for everyone.’

If screens filled to the brim with bosses and insane levels with high-energy chiptune tracks to get you pumped up are your bag (sign me up!), then head to Mega Cat Studios for more information!
