A raw trailer has unveiledZenless Zone Zero , orZZZ , an upcoming free - to - work military action RPG from the studio behindGenshin Impact . While the trailer already teases a telephone number of character and an urban sci - fi setting , Zenless Zone Zerowill need to be more thanGenshin Impactin a science - fiction skin if it truly wants to step out of the shadower of its predecessor . Here ’s everything the new game from HoYoverse ( previously miHoYo ) will need to do for stand out .

It all begin day ago , when acryptic tease forZenless Zone Zeroshowed up online . From the prevue , it bet like player will have a dystopian , urban Earth to explore - something likeCyberpunk 2077meetsScarlet Nexus . intimate HoYoverse figure of speech - like a roll of playable characters , base of dichotomy , and natural action - RPG combat - are all present as well . It should be enough to get just about anyGenshin Impactfan excited - but it could also invoke to those who prefer sci - fi games to gamey fantasy .

While the trailer forZZZlooks fairly nerveless , it also illustrates a trend HoYoverse ’s games have had . FromGenshin ImpacttoHonkai Impact 3rd , there ’s often an overreliance on fresh playable characters and an ever - get roll of recruitable party members . get new characters regularly is a fun part of those games , but trying to keep caterpillar tread of teams in multiple games - many of which play in a similar way - could get tedious . It could mean players have to decide between committing toZenless Zone Zeroor sticking withGenshin Impactinstead .

ZZZ Can Set Itself Apart From Genshin Impact & Other HoYoverse Games

From the armed combat record off in the trailer , it also bet as ifZenless Zone Zerowill have many feature in common withGenshin Impact . However , there seems to be a notable change - players will live dual lives , as characters called Proxies operate around the city of New Eridu after a natural disaster called the Hollows has wipe out most of fellowship . From what ’s been shown so far , it looks as if this Proxy is fundamentally the same asGenshin Impact ’s Traveler , even though gameplay and related to lore will sure as shooting be somewhat different . As withGenshin Impact , players can control a figure of character in the same party to maximise legal injury output against Ethereals , the in - biz enemy ofZenless Zone Zero . A preview can be viewed below :

A " roguelike " gameplay system has been teased , which indicates the gameplay grommet ofZZZwill be dissimilar fromGenshin Impact(although this may be similar to the way field work ) . Still , if HoYoverse ’s young game wants to get out ofGenshin Impact ’s shadow , it ca n’t rely too heavily on what madeGenshinsuch a striking in the first space . or else , Zenless Zone Zerowill need to forge ahead and offer users something completely different - beyond just being a sci - fi version of HoYoverse ’s most popular RPG .
