Zenless Zone Zero: Upcoming Updates and Extended Patch Cycle
Recent leaks suggest a longer-than-anticipated patch cycle for Zenless Zone Zero, potentially extending to Version 1.7 before the launch of Version 2.0. This contrasts with other HoYoverse titles, like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, which concluded their initial cycles at Version 1.6.
This news follows a successful first year for the game, including a Best Mobile Game nomination at The Game Awards and a collaboration with McDonald's. The game's consistent addition of new content, including characters and features, has fueled its growing popularity.
The upcoming Version 1.5 update is highly anticipated, introducing two new S-Rank playable units, Astra Yao and Evelyn, alongside a new area and potential skins. Astra Yao is rumored to be a strong support character, prompting players to begin farming her materials in advance.
Projected Patch Cycle:
- Version 1.7 (end of current cycle)
- Version 2.0
- Version 2.8
- Version 3.0
Furthermore, leaks indicate that a substantial 31 new characters are planned for future releases, adding significantly to the current roster of 26.
The recently released Version 1.4, featuring the powerful Hoshimi Miyabi, experienced minor controversy regarding censorship. However, developers swiftly addressed the issue and provided player compensation. Version 1.4 is slated to conclude in late January.
While Version 1.7 remains months away, the imminent Version 1.5 update, with its new story chapter, area, events, and highly anticipated characters, promises exciting content for Zenless Zone Zero players.
