The first trailer of Comix Zero - adventure "comic" from the Ukrainian studio

The Kharkiv studio Bear Games has unveiled the first gameplay trailer for Comix Zero — a video game set within the pages of an interactive comic book.

Players will take control of a character named Zero, who journeys through the comic and breaks through the boundaries of the pages. A key feature of the game is its unique combat system, where the protagonist defeats enemies by stripping them of their colors.

The developers have introduced an unusual mechanic: after each death, the main character loses portions of their memory. This affects dialogues with other characters and alters the storyline, providing a varied gameplay experience.

Bear Games has combined the concept of metroidvania with Elden Ring's approach to level design. Players will be able to explore the world without the need to unlock new abilities — just relying on their own skills. The combat system emphasizes precision and timing over simple button-mashing.

The game will be available on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The release date has not yet been announced by the developers.
