Available now, the demo drops players into the game’s first wasteland, Doomsday Desert, offering a taste of the chaos to come. Players can experiment with 14 of the game’s 19 total mutations, beginning with five and unlocking nine more as they progress. Each mutation also features a wild “bonkers” form that can be discovered within the demo, giving players an early look at the game’s most unhinged power-ups. Best of all, all progress made in the demo carries over to the full release.

To celebrate the demo’s launch, Acclaim, Inc. has released a new trailer, showcasing the over-the-top action, insane mutations, and cartoonish chaos that await players.

On crafting a game that revolves around the historically important themes of candy-crazed genetic mutations, piñata destruction, and giving birth to a man in a chicken suit, creator Rowan Edmondson summed it up as only he could:

“I worked hard on this nonsense,” said Edmondson.

Those craving mutations and mayhem won’t have to wait much longer to get their hands (or tentacles) on the game. Ground Zero Hero launches on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, Switch 2, and Steam this summer.
