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), potentially extending to Version 1.7 before the launch of Version 2.0. This revelation comes less than a year after ZZZ's successful debut, a year marked by consistent content additions and growing popularity. The game's collaboration with McDonald's further solidified its position in the gaming market.

While the recently released Version 1.4 update introduced Hoshimi Miyabi, a powerful new unit, it also sparked some controversy regarding censorship. However, HoYoverse swiftly addressed the issue, demonstrating their responsiveness to player feedback. Fans are now eagerly anticipating Version 1.5, which promises new playable units, Astra Yao and Evelyn (both S-Rank), a new area, and potentially a new skin for Nicole Demara.

Reliable leaker, Flying Flame, predicts that the current patch cycle will culminate with Version 1.7, followed by Version 2.0, then Version 2.8, and finally Version 3.0. This contrasts with other HoYoverse titles, such as Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, which concluded their initial patch cycles at Version 1.6. This extended cycle, if accurate, would significantly increase the amount of content available to players. Furthermore, another leak from the same source indicates that 31 additional characters are planned for future updates, a substantial addition to the current roster of 26 playable units.

Key takeaways from the leaks:

• Extended Patch Cycle: Versions 1.7, 2.0, 2.8, and 3.0 are anticipated.
• New Units: Astra Yao and Evelyn (S-Rank) are coming in Version 1.5. A total of 31 new characters are reportedly in development.
• Version 1.5 Content: A new main story chapter, a new area, and various events are expected.

Although Version 1.7 remains months away, the upcoming Version 1.5 update offers plenty to keep ZZZ players engaged. The addition of Astra Yao and Evelyn, particularly, is generating significant excitement, with rumors suggesting Astra Yao's strong support capabilities. Players are advised to begin farming necessary materials in anticipation of their arrival. The future of Zenless Zone Zero looks bright, promising a substantial amount of content for players to enjoy.
