Hoyoverse, the creator of the hit gacha games Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, is about to release Zenless Zone Zero. If you’ve played the other Hoyoverse games, the trailer is already referencing their older games in this new hack-and-slash take on the genre.
Zenless Zone Zero will take place in a world named New Eridu, the last city that has survived the apocalypse. Humanity has mostly been wiped out by the Hollows—the cause of monsters appearing in the world. As a Proxy, players will be guiding those who explore the Hollows.
Although it was announced in 2022, Zenless Zone Zero was finally confirmed to launch in 2024. There is no set release date announced by Hoyoverse yet, but there are already several characters that are confirmed to launch when the game goes live.
