The studio miHoYo not unemployed, since he is currently on several projects at the same time, like the next Honkai Star Railbut above all the follow-up to his biggest hit, Genshin Impact. That didn’t stop him from teasing a new game this week, with a countdown that gave us an appointment this morning, and which lifted the veil on Zenless Zone Zeroa new action-RPG in line with what the studio has been able to do in the past.
Genshin, but with roguelike?
Exit the turn-based initiated by Honkai Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero wants to be much more focused on its action-packed fights, which we discover in this trailer.
This new license will introduce us to a somewhat futuristic world, with the city of New Eriduwhere we will play the role of a Proxyresponsible for protecting those who venture into the Hollowsdimensional rifts that destroyed modern civilization and hide monsters named Etherals. In all this, political intrigues and evil organizations will also be on the agenda.
Gameplay level, we can see that the title puts the emphasis on action with devastating combos to trigger, and QTEs that will be visibly integrated. We are also told abouta system inspired by the roguelike genre when it comes to exploration, which means that we can expect Hollows to represent kinds of dungeons that we will probably have to get to know well. We also imagine that the gacha aspect will not be very far away, with the many characters to collect.
We should know more very soon sincea closed beta is already availablewith registrations on the game’s official website. Zenless Zone Zero will be available on PC, iOS and Android, but miHoYo also promises the arrival of other platforms, without being more specific.
