'Zenless Zone Zero Leak Unveils Patch Cycle Details'

Author:Kristen Update:Jan 27,2025

A recent leak suggests Zenless Zone Zero's current patch cycle will extend beyond initial expectations, concluding with Version 1.7 before transitioning to Version 2.0. This contrasts with other HoYoverse titles, like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, which concluded their first cycles at Version 1.6.

This extended cycle, potentially culminating in Version 2.8 before a Version 3.0 launch, hints at a significant content roadmap for Zenless Zone Zero. The leak further indicates a planned roster expansion of 31 new characters, a substantial addition to the current 26 playable units.

The game's successful first year, including a Game Awards nomination and a McDonald's collaboration, underscores its growing popularity. The upcoming Version 1.5 update is highly anticipated, introducing two new S-Rank units, Astra Yao and Evelyn, a new area, and a potential Nicole Demara skin. Astra Yao is rumored to be a strong support character. Players are advised to prepare materials in advance.

Version 1.4, while introducing the powerful Hoshimi Miyabi, faced minor controversy regarding censorship. However, the developers swiftly addressed the issue and compensated players. While Version 1.7 remains months away, the extended patch cycle promises a wealth of future content for Zenless Zone Zero players.

Key Leak Highlights:

  • Extended Patch Cycle: Version 1.7 (end of current cycle) followed by Version 2.0, then Version 2.8 before Version 3.0.
  • Extensive Roster Expansion: 31 new characters planned.
  • Version 1.5 Highlights: Astra Yao and Evelyn (S-Rank units), new area, events, potential Nicole Demara skin.
