Zenless Zone Zero is a brand-new Action RPG game from the developers behind Genshin Impact. Here’s everything we know so far about HoYoverse’s upcoming title.

While Genshin Impact continues to prove incredibly popular, HoYoverse shows no signs of slowing down with Honkai Star Rail, and their next release, Zenless Zone Zero. This action RPG features a colorful character roster, a compelling post-apocalyptic world, and interesting roguelike elements.

From its release date to story and gameplay details, this is what we know about Zenless Zone Zero so far.  

Zenless Zone Zero release date & platforms

Zenless Zone Zero will be released on July 4, 2024.

The game will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, Android, and Cloud devices. 

Zenless Zone Zero trailers

The Zenless Zone Zero reveal trailer aired on May 13, 2022. This news was announced via the game’s official teaser website, which originally had a countdown timer and a brief audio recording. 

During the trailer, players get a glimpse of New Eridu — the last shelter for civilization due to the “Hollow” calamity. It’s in these futuristic streets that a number of Zenless Zone Zero characters can be seen engaging mysterious monsters.

A follow-up trailer revealed even more about the title, showing off additional combat details and showcasing various ARPG elements.

Finally, after almost a year of silence, Zenless Zone Zero got some love at Gamescom with a new gameplay trailer.

Another trailer was shared at The Game Awards on December 7, 2023, and it gave fans another look at some of the characters, as well as some action-packed combat.

Zenless Zone Zero gameplay

Zenless Zone Zero features a fluid, cinematic, and action-oriented combat system. Players can take control of different units to unleash electrifying skills and unlimited QTE combos, which give them an edge over their foes.

However, unlike other HoYoverse titles, the game also has roguelike gameplay mechanisms. This means Zenless Zone Zero will have clear differences from Genshin Impact and the turn-based combat seen in Honkai Star Rail.

Zenless Zone Zero story & setting

Zenless Zone Zero takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where civilization has been destroyed by a supernatural disaster known as the “Hollows”. This strange phenomenon has led to dimensions where mysterious monsters dubbed the “Ethereal” roam.

New Eridu is the last urban civilization that survived the apocalypse, but its survival is reliant on the technology and valuable resources that are extracted from the Hollows.

In order to save humanity and uncover the mystery behind the supernatural disaster, players must take on the role of a “Proxy” — a special professional who guides people in their exploration of the Hollows.

It’s here where players need to utilize their characters’ skills, claim valuable data, and progress through Zenless Zone Zero’s story.

So, there you have it, everything we currently know about Zenless Zone Zero. For more on the game, read up on the voice actors, and system requirements.
