Zenless Zone Zero: Patch Duration Details Revealed

Zenless Zone Zero: Upcoming Updates and Extended Patch Cycle

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 revelation follows the game's successful first year, marked by consistent updates, rising popularity, and even a collaboration with McDonald's.

The leak, originating from the reliable source Flying Flame, proposes a longer-than-anticipated patch cycle. Unlike other HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, which concluded their first cycles with Version 1.6, Zenless Zone Zero may stretch to Version 1.7, followed by Version 2.0, and subsequently Version 2.8 before reaching Version 3.0. This extended cycle promises a substantial amount of additional content. Further fueling anticipation, the same leaker hints at 31 planned characters for future updates, a significant addition to the current roster of 26.

Version 1.5: New Characters and Content on the Horizon

While Version 1.7 remains some months away, the imminent Version 1.5 update offers much to look forward to. This update introduces two highly anticipated S-Rank units, Astra Yao and Evelyn, alongside a new main story chapter, area, and events. Astra Yao is particularly intriguing, rumored to excel as a support character. Early leaks have revealed her material requirements, prompting players to begin farming in advance.

Version 1.4 Aftermath and Future Outlook

Version 1.4, featuring the powerful Hoshimi Miyabi, recently concluded, though not without some initial controversy regarding censorship. However, developers swiftly addressed the issue and provided player compensation.

The extended patch cycle, coupled with the substantial number of planned characters, paints a picture of a thriving and continuously expanding game. Zenless Zone Zero players can anticipate a rich and lengthy content roadmap ahead.
