Zenless Zone Zero Patch Schedule Leaked
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 revelation follows the game's successful first year, marked by consistent content additions and growing popularity.
The game's 2024 debut was a resounding success, including a nomination for Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards and a successful collaboration with McDonald's. Following the recent 1.4 update, anticipation is high for the upcoming 1.5 update, which promises two new playable units (Astra Yao and Evelyn), a fresh area, and a potential new skin.
According to reliable leaker Flying Flame, the current patch cycle will culminate with Version 1.7, subsequently followed by Version 2.0, and later Version 2.8 before transitioning to Version 3.0. This differs from other HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, which concluded their initial cycles with Version 1.6. This extended cycle could mean significantly more content for players. Further fueling excitement, the same leaker revealed plans for 31 additional characters, a substantial addition to the current roster of 26.
Projected Patch Cycle:
- Version 1.7, followed by Version 2.0
- Version 2.8, followed by Version 3.0
While Version 1.7 remains some months away, the imminent Version 1.5 update offers much to look forward to: a new story chapter, a new area, events, and the highly anticipated addition of S-Rank units Astra Yao and Evelyn. Early preparation for Astra Yao's materials is advised for players planning to acquire her.
The recently concluded Version 1.4 update, despite introducing the powerful Hoshimi Miyabi, faced criticism regarding censorship. However, HoYoverse swiftly addressed these concerns, resolving the issue and compensating players.
