Gameplay
Zenless Zone Zero is an urban fantasy action role-playing game with roguelike mechanics. The player assumes the role of a Proxy, a character who helps others explore the hostile alternate dimensions called Hollows.[2] As they advance, the Proxy will recruit new members to their party as they continue to fight the Ethereal and other enemies. By combining the abilities of different members, players can deploy greater damage and combos onto enemies.[3][4]
Setting
The game takes place in an
post-apocalyptic futuristic heaven known as New Eridu. Entities known as Ethereal have traveled out into the human world from portals called Hollows. The Ethereal have wreaked havoc on most of humanity, wiping most of them out. However, a select group of survivors have formed a bastion against the invaders called New Eridu, having survived the oncoming onslaught by extracting the Ethereal's technology and resources.[5][6]
Development
HoYoverse revealed the game in May 2022 and began holding
closed beta tests, known as "Tuning Tests", for PC and iOS in August of the same year.[7] A second closed beta test, called an "Equalizing Test", was also held for PC and iOS in November 2023.[8] A third beta test, called an "Amplifying Test", will be held for Android, PC, and iOS, in April 2024.[9]
During PlayStation's State of Play presentation, a PlayStation 5 port of the game was announced. A Technical test will be for the PS5 in April 2024.[10]
