Zenless Zone Zero's Extended Patch Cycle: A Leak Reveals Version 1.7 and Beyond
Recent leaks suggest a longer-than-anticipated patch cycle for Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ), potentially extending to Version 1.7 before the launch of Version 2.0. This revelation comes less than a year after the RPG's successful debut, a year marked by consistent content additions and growing popularity, including a noteworthy collaboration with McDonald's.
The current patch cycle, slated to conclude with Version 1.7, will reportedly be followed by Version 2.0, culminating in Version 2.8 before transitioning to Version 3.0. This contrasts with other HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, which concluded their initial cycles at Version 1.6. This extended cycle promises a significant amount of additional content for ZZZ players.
Further fueling anticipation, a separate leak from the same source indicates that 31 new characters are planned for future updates. With the current roster standing at 26 playable units, this suggests a substantial expansion of the game's character pool.
Version 1.5: Astra Yao and Evelyn Arrive
While Version 1.7 remains months away, the upcoming Version 1.5 update offers immediate excitement. This patch introduces two highly anticipated S-Rank units: Astra Yao and Evelyn. Astra Yao is rumored to be a strong support character, making early material farming advisable for players eager to add her to their teams. Version 1.5 also includes a new main story chapter, a new area, and various events.
Version 1.4 Aftermath:
The recent Version 1.4 update, which introduced the powerful Hoshimi Miyabi, faced some initial backlash regarding alleged censorship. However, HoYoverse swiftly addressed the issue, resolving the problem and compensating players.
In Summary:
The leaked information paints a picture of a robust content roadmap for Zenless Zone Zero. The extended patch cycle, coupled with the planned influx of new characters, promises a long and engaging future for this popular RPG. While the specifics remain subject to official announcements, the leaks suggest a significant expansion of ZZZ's content and a departure from the established patch cycle patterns of other HoYoverse games.
