Rumor: Zenless Zone Zero Leak Reveals Duration of Future Patch Cycles

Zenless Zone Zero's Extended Patch Cycle: A Leak Reveals Future Updates

Recent leaks suggest a longer-than-anticipated patch cycle for Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ). Instead of following the pattern of other HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, which concluded their initial cycles with Version 1.6, ZZZ's current cycle is reportedly slated to conclude with Version 1.7, followed by Version 2.0, and subsequently Version 2.8 before transitioning to Version 3.0.

This extended cycle, as reported by reliable leaker Flying Flame, indicates a significant commitment to post-launch content. Launched less than a year ago, ZZZ has already enjoyed a successful first year, including a nomination for Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards and a collaboration with McDonald's. This continued expansion of content solidifies ZZZ's position in the gaming market.

The leak further suggests a robust future character roster. With 31 new characters planned, adding to the existing 26, players can anticipate a substantial increase in playable units, encompassing both S-Rank and A-Rank additions.

Current Patch Cycle (per leak):

• Version 1.7 (end of current cycle)
• Version 2.0
• Version 2.8 (end of next cycle)
• Version 3.0

Anticipation Builds for Version 1.5:

While Version 1.7 remains some time away, players eagerly await the upcoming Version 1.5 update. This update promises a new main story chapter, an expanded game area, engaging events, and most importantly, the addition of two highly anticipated S-Rank units: Astra Yao and Evelyn. Astra Yao is rumored to be a strong support character, prompting players to begin farming necessary materials in advance.

Version 1.4, featuring the powerful Hoshimi Miyabi, recently concluded. While initially met with some player concerns regarding censorship, HoYoverse swiftly addressed the issue and provided compensation.

The extended patch cycle, coupled with the planned influx of new characters, paints a promising picture for the future of Zenless Zone Zero, ensuring a rich and engaging experience for players for months to come.
