Zenless Zone Zero: Upcoming Updates and Extended Patch Cycle
New 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 updates, increased popularity, and a notable collaboration with McDonald's.
The current Version 1.4 update, which introduced the powerful Hoshimi Miyabi, briefly faced criticism regarding censorship. However, the developers swiftly addressed the issue and compensated players. Fans are now eagerly anticipating Version 1.5, scheduled to introduce two highly anticipated S-Rank units: Astra Yao and Evelyn, alongside a new area, events, and a potential skin for Nicole Demara. Early leaks suggest players should begin farming Astra Yao's materials.
According to reliable leaker Flying Flame, the current patch cycle will culminate in Version 1.7, followed by Version 2.0, then Version 2.8, and finally 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. If accurate, this extended cycle would provide a significant amount of additional content. Further fueling excitement, another leak from the same source indicates that 31 new characters are planned for future updates, a substantial addition to the current roster of 26.
Key takeaways from the leaks:
- Extended Patch Cycle: Versions 1.7 and 2.0, followed by 2.8 and 3.0.
- Version 1.5 Highlights: Astra Yao and Evelyn (S-Rank units), new area, events.
- Future Content: A massive 31 new characters planned.
While Version 1.7 remains months away, the upcoming Version 1.5 update promises exciting additions for Zenless Zone Zero players. The extended patch cycle hints at a substantial amount of future content, setting Zenless Zone Zero apart from its sister titles.
