Zenless Zone Zero's Patch Cycle: A Leak Reveals Future Updates

Recent leaks suggest that Zenless Zone Zero's current patch cycle will extend beyond 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 ended their initial cycles at Version 1.6.

The game, launched less than a year ago, has consistently delivered new content, including characters and features, solidifying its popularity and even securing a collaboration with McDonald's. This success, including a Best Mobile Game nomination at The Game Awards, makes the extended content cycle particularly exciting.

According to reliable leaker Flying Flame, the projected patch cycle breakdown is: Version 1.7, followed by Version 2.0; then Version 2.8, followed by Version 3.0. Furthermore, the leak indicates that a staggering 31 new characters are planned for future releases, significantly expanding the current roster of 26 playable units.

Anticipation is high for the upcoming Version 1.5 update, featuring two highly anticipated S-Rank units: Astra Yao and Evelyn. The update also includes a new main story chapter, a fresh area, and various events. Astra Yao is rumored to be a valuable support character, prompting players to begin material farming in preparation.

Version 1.4, while introducing the powerful Hoshimi Miyabi, faced minor controversy regarding alleged censorship. However, the developers swiftly addressed the issue and compensated players. Version 1.4 is slated to conclude in late January, leaving players eagerly awaiting the next wave of content. The extended patch cycle, if accurate, promises a substantial amount of additional gameplay for Zenless Zone Zero players.
