Singapore, March 4 2025 – Mixed Realms, a Singapore-based indie game studio, is thrilled to announce the second global playtest for 13Z: The Zodiac Trials, their highly anticipated hack-and-slash roguelike action adventure. This new playtest introduces multiplayer co-op for up to four players, a new playable character called The Raven, and a host of major improvements to both visuals and gameplay.

During the first global playtest, over 40,000 players braved the Zodiac Trials, with more than 80% rating 13Z 4/5 or higher. Building on that success, this new playtest raises the stakes by allowing friends to join forces and battle side by side.

Other improvements include an upgraded roguelike system, expanded skills, refined combat mechanics and enhanced visuals.
