Rumor: Zenless Zone Zero Leak Reveals Duration of Future Patch Cycles
Zenless Zone Zero's Patch Cycle: A Leak Reveals Version 1.7 and Beyond
Recent leaks suggest that Zenless Zone Zero's current patch cycle will extend to Version 1.7, concluding before the launch of Version 2.0. This revelation comes less than a year after the RPG's successful debut, a year that saw not only a Best Mobile Game nomination at The Game Awards, but also a growing player base and a high-profile collaboration with McDonald's.
Following the recent 1.4 update (which, despite introducing the powerful Hoshimi Miyabi, faced minor controversy regarding censorship quickly resolved by the developers), anticipation is building for the upcoming 1.5 update. This update promises two new S-Rank playable characters – Astra Yao (rumored to be a strong support unit) and Evelyn – along with a new area, events, and potentially a new skin for Nicole Demara. Players are advised to begin farming Astra Yao's materials in advance.
A reliable leaker, Flying Flame, predicts the following patch cycle structure: Version 1.7 will conclude the current cycle, followed by Version 2.0, then Version 2.8, culminating in Version 3.0. This surpasses the 1.6 cycle observed in other HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, potentially signifying a greater content offering for Zenless Zone Zero players. Further fueling excitement, the same leaker claims that 31 new characters are planned for future updates, a significant addition to the current roster of 26.
The extended patch cycle, while still months away from Version 1.7's release, provides a promising outlook for the game's future. The substantial content pipeline, including new characters, areas, and events, ensures a continued engaging experience for Zenless Zone Zero's dedicated player base.
