Zenless Zone Zero is a 3D action RPG developed by miHoYo (HoYoverse) and released in 2024 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, iOS, and Android. Players assemble squads of up to three characters and engage in fast-paced hack-and-slash combat built around Basic Attacks, Special Attacks, dodging, and parrying. The system rewards reading enemy behavior — blocking or evading incoming strikes creates openings, and when an opponent is Stunned, players can follow up with Chain Attacks for significant damage. Enemy variety is a central consideration, as different foes carry distinct traits and weaknesses that inform effective squad composition and tactics. The game blends these layered combat mechanics with an adventure structure in a stylized urban setting, continuing HoYoverse's approach of delivering free-to-play action experiences with a strong emphasis on character-driven team building.
In the near future, a mysterious natural disaster known as "Hollows" has occurred. A new kind of city has emerged in this disaster-ridden world — New Eridu. This last oasis has mastered the technology to co-exist with Hollows and is home to a whole host of chaotic, boisterous, dangerous, and very active factions. As a professional Proxy, you play a crucial role in linking the city and the Hollows. Your story awaits.
