Game Overview

Zenless Zone Zero is a new urban fantasy action role-playing game (ARPG) developed by HoYoverse. The game's story is set in a post-apocalyptic world where civilization has been destroyed by a supernatural disaster called the Hollows. In this chaos, the city of New Eridu has emerged as the last hope of humanity by utilizing technology and resources to combat the Hollow disaster. As a Proxy, players will guide people through the Hollows and explore the mysteries behind New Eridu alongside their unique companions.

The game includes a standalone IP and a mixed narrative story-telling. In the latest beta, players can now experience a new story chapter that focuses on Belobog Heavy Industries, one of the major factions in the game. The upcoming beta also features immersive urban gameplay mechanics such as the Inter-Knot Proxy Network, where players can take unusual commissions or play arcade games with friends and pet animals and explore the vibrant Sixth Street.

Zenless Zone Zero has a unique art style and music design that enhances the audio-visual immersion. In the upcoming closed beta, the city of New Eridu will undergo a visual update, and the game's track list will include more modern, vibrant, and groovy music. Additionally, three new characters will join players in New Eridu, each with their unique charm and background.

The game's defining feature is its thrilling action. With improved combat animations and a brand-new Perfect Assist mechanic, the latest version of Zenless Zone Zero is more accessible to action game newcomers. At the same time, the game introduces a newly developed challenge mode called Hollow Zero, which provides a significant setting in the story and promises an exciting combat experience for veteran action game players.
