Zool Returns on Sega Mega Drive as 33 Games Opens Reservations for Its First Collection

The UK-based boutique physical video game publisher debuts a curated range of physical editions, vinyl soundtracks and archive pieces, with the first editions arriving summer 2026.

[London, UK] — [May 19th 2026] — 33 Games, the UK-based boutique physical video game publisher and premium product studio, has opened reservations for its first collection at 33-games.com, marking the public debut of the 33 Games archive.

Leading the collection is Zool, the iconic Gremlin Interactive character returning in an officially licensed release for the Sega Mega Drive. Developed with authentic physical presentation, considered materials and collector-level detail, Zool represents the first major statement from 33 Games: a physical edition created with care, restraint and permanence.   Alongside Zool, the collection includes A Gremlin in the Stereo, a deluxe gatefold vinyl celebrating the sound and legacy of Gremlin Interactive, plus a curated range of companion pieces designed to sit alongside the headline release.

The launch also confirms 33 Games’ partnership with Beyond the Pixels on Astro Burn, the fast-paced sci-fi cute-’em-up currently available in Early Access. The first release from the collaboration is the Astro Burn synthwave vinyl soundtrack by Venice Bleach, with a premium physical edition and wider collector range now being developed around the game. The debut collection also points toward the wider world 33 Games is building: carefully developed editions for classic game worlds, distinctive independent titles and new collector interpretations of well-known gaming properties. Further projects will be revealed throughout 2026.

33 Games exists to give the right games a physical life beyond the screen — through editions, soundtracks, print and collector pieces created with weight, intent and permanence. Each release is built around carefully produced quantities, considered materials, deliberate packaging and a preservation-minded approach to physical media. Reservations are now open at 33-games.com, with the first editions arriving in summer 2026. The 33 Games archive will continue to expand throughout 2026, with further physical editions and collector-led collaborations to be revealed.
