Can Zenless Zone Zero Become Hoyoverse's Third Hit in a Row?
20.12.2023 - 14:23 / mmorpg.com / Zenless Zone Zero
Hoyoverse (MiHoYo) is one of the hottest publishers in the mobile gaming space right now. While its titles like Honkai Impact 3rd and Guns Girl Z were popular in Southeast Asia and China, they never quite broke into the global market like the publisher’s more recent titles.Genshin Impact continues to be a global phenomenon, and Honkai: Star Rail is also reaching similar levels of success and recognition. Star Rail has reportedly crossed USD 1 Billion already.Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) is Hoyoverse’s third major player in the global market, and it is set to release in 2024.
Note: We will not talk about the game’s story at all. All of the opinions listed below are based on the secondClosed Beta Test, and things like progression and monetization are subject to change at release.
ZZZ has a stamina system (Battery Charge) that restricts how much you can play per day. You get 1 Battery Charge per six minutes with a cap of 180 Stamina. You can spend Battery Charge when completing various activities for rewards. During the Closed Beta Test, I was forced to stop playing several times. Story progression being capped by Battery Charge is something I did not expect and I was disappointed by the fact that narrative-driven Commions are locked behind the time-gated resource.
The content of ZZZ can be divided into three categories:
All of the content is accessible
The combat system in Zenless Zone Zero is the most fun in my personal experience. It improves upon Honkai Impact 3rd’s fast-paced combat system and introduces cleaner animations and a better combo system.
ZZZ’s combat system featured perfect dodge, perfect assist, and chain attack mechanics that enable a lot of skill expression. The perfect assist mechanic is an extension of the perfect dodge mechanic seen in games. It involves switching your character at the perfect time to initiate a counterattack.
The combat is by far the most engaging thing about the game. Mastering the combat system will take some time, and with the introduction of new characters that potentially play into these mechanics, ZZZ’s gameplay is stellar for a mobile game. The developers made the dodges fairly forgiving, and you don’t need to have frame-perfect inputs to pull off some fancy moves, which is understandable considering the game is designed to be played on mobile devices primarily.
One of the biggest complaints about Hoyoverse’s other titles is the lack of endgame content. While Honkai: Star Rail tried to introduce its rogue-lite modes (Simulated Universe and Simulated Universe: Swarm), there is very little incentive to play them. Zenless Zone Zero might be the first game from the publisher to offer true replayability. ZZZ has Hollow Exploration, which is a rogue-lite mode that

Meta adamant, but Justin Trudeau says Canada to keep pressure on Facebook to pay for news
Ottawa will keep pushing Meta to comply with a new law requiring large internet companies to pay Canadian news publishers for their content, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday, but the Facebook parent stood by its decision to block news sharing rather than pay. The government on Friday published final regulations for the Online News Act before enforcement starts Dec. 19. The law requires technology companies with 20 million unique monthly users and annual revenues of C$1 billion ($748 million) or more to compensate Canadian news outlets for publishing links to their pages.
