The release date for Genshin Impact maker HoYoverse’s upcoming urban role-playing game, Zenless Zone Zero, might have leaked before its official announcement. The action RPG’s soft “coming soon in 2024” placeholder text may actually mean this summer.
According to Zenless Zone Zero’s Apple App Store page, the anime-inspired third-person action RPG is expected to release on July 3. As of the time of writing, developer HoYoverse has yet to announce an official release date on its official social media accounts. So far, only Zenless Zone Zero’s Apple store page has a listed release date, though the storefront does couch the expected date with supplemental text, saying, “This content may change without notice, and the final product may be different.”
Zenless Zone Zero's seemingly leaked expected release date may hold some water, considering the whoopsie daisy comes weeks after the free-to-play urban fantasy RPG’s official PlayStation 5 technical test sign-up announcement. Prior to Zenless Zone Zero’s PS5 technical test sign-ups — which ended on April 17 — HoYoverse invited players to Amplifying Tests for PC and mobile platforms. Taking all of this into consideration, it wouldn’t be wild to assume the conclusion of ZZZ’s PS5 technical test serves as the action RPG’s final pitstop before its official release. The sooner we’re able to play as a bazooka-wielding grizzly bear, the better.
Zenless Zone Zero was first revealed in May of 2022. In it, players take on the role of mercenaries for hire named Proxys tasked with defending the last vestiges of the post-apocalyptic world of New Eridu from Bleach-esque monsters called Hollows.
Zenless Zone Zero will also be available on Android, PlayStation 5, and PC. Be sure to check out our Zenless Zone Zero guide to get yourself well acquanted with the game's sprawling lore and enemble cast of anime-inspired characters.
