HoYoverse has announced that their upcoming urban-themed action RPG Zenless Zone Zero is in development for the PlayStation 5. The announcement came via the latest Sony State of Play livestream as part of a stylish trailer. Check it out below!
Zenless Zone Zero is the next major gacha game project on deck for the company responsible for Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. It features the concrete-laden setting of New Eridu, a city acting as the last bastion of humanity amid calamitous events known as the Hollows. Players will take on the role of a Proxy, one who shepherds enterprising people known as Agents through the Hollows.
Throughout those adventures, players will explore the Hollows with a customisable party of three Agents in semi-randomised dungeons to collect resources, renown, and treasure. It features a real-time combat system replete with the stylish candor and combos HoYoverse has become known for in the free-to-play space. Beyond that, players will be able to explore the metropolis of New Eridu, interacting with its inhabitants, forging relationships with its factions, and, funnily, managing a video store.
