Genshin Impact developer HoYoverse has announced the next «Amplifying Test» for Zenless Zone Zero, giving even more players a chance to try out the studio's new game early. First revealed in 2022, HoYoverse has already given fans plenty of teasers of what to expect from the next game from the Shanghai-based studio. Zenless Zone Zero boasts similar flashy action-oriented combat to Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd, set against a futuristic big city aesthetic. Now, HoYoverse is rolling out the next round of beta tests for the upcoming action RPG.
Throughout the two years since Zenless Zone Zero's reveal, HoYoverse has teased a plethora of information about the game. The developer has released multiple character trailers for Zenless Zone Zero, showing off playable roster members like Anby, Nicole, and Billy among others. Zenless Zone Zero has also run multiple closed beta tests since its initial reveal, allowing select players to try out the game's fast-paced combat early. Now, fans are getting another chance to check out Zenless Zone Zero with HoYoverse announcing a new «Amplifying Test.»
HoYoverse officially revealed its next round of beta tests for Zenless Zone Zero late Saturday night, allowing players to sign up for the new tests. HoYoverse did not reveal any official timelines for the beta test, stating it would announce the closing date for signups and the beta's start «at a later date.» Fans looking to sign up for Zenless Zone Zero's beta test will be asked to complete a short survey about their gameplay experience, as well as the hardware used for testing Zenless Zone Zero. Details were not confirmed about the beta test's contents either, though it is expected new characters will likely be featured.
Though HoYoverse's announcement was light on details about the Zenless Zone Zero beta, the developer has given exciting news for fans of the game in recent months. During Sony's first State of Play broadcast of 2024, Zenless Zone Zero was confirmed to be releasing on PS5, following in the footsteps of Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. The game's official release window was also confirmed, expected to launch at some point during 2024.
The upcoming beta test for Zenless Zone Zero comes as HoYoverse has been especially busy with several of its games. Honkai: Star Rail recently launched its Version 2.0 update, bringing the first new playable world to the game with the debut of Penacony. Honkai Impact 3rd also introduced its massive «Part 2» update at the end of February, whisking players to Mars with major overhauls to the game's combat and a brand-new starring cast. Zenless Zone Zero looks to build on the overwhelming success HoYoverse has seen with its recent games.

Making an informed decision when pulling for Neuvillette or Kazuha in 4.5 can spare players a lot of Primogems, especially if they are already geared up to reach their pity soon. Neuvillette and Kazuha are both rerun characters and not actual debuting units, like Chiori in . Neuvillette made his debut as a playable character in Version 4.1, shortly after the release of Fontaine in 2023. Kazuha, on the other hand, first arrived years ago, back in Version 1.6, which was added to the action RPG right before the release of Inazuma in Version 2.0.
Xiao Luohao, head of the writing team for Genshin Impact, revealed in a recent interview that some of the unanswered plot points from Sumeru are, in fact, future content. Though the main appeal of Genshin Impact has always been its colorful cast of characters, fans also fell in love with the world of Teyvat and its lore. The format of annually traveling to different nations during the player's journey has allowed the developers to cleverly pace out the flow of content, and design character banners focused around each region of Teyvat.
Genshin Impact has officially revealed the second half Event Banners for Version 4.5, and to no one's surprise, Kaveh is once again missing from among the list of 4-Stars. Though Version 4.5 of Genshin Impact could be described as a quiet patch, with no new zones or artifact domains, its Flagship Event «Alchemical Ascension» has been incredibly popular among fans. Not only did it give players a chance to stock up on Primogems for a few extra pulls on Itto and Chiori's banners, but it also introduced a fun mini-game that many fans are hopeful becomes a permanent fixture of Genshin Impact in the future.
Genshin Impact could be switching out one of the currently unreleased Fontaine characters in favor of Sethos, who plays a major role in Cyno's second Story Quest. A fact that has certainly rung true for the region of Fontaine is that Genshin Impact is no stranger to making decisions on the fly, especially when it concerns its gacha system – most notably, the characters that find their way onto its Event Banners. This makes banner leaks especially important to the Genshin Impact community, and players try to keep themselves informed of any emerging changes.
We now officially know Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail developer HoYoverse’s upcoming urban gacha Zenless Zone Zero is coming to PS5, but the title’s third – and, presumably, final – closed beta test will not be available on Sony’s system.

HoYoverse have announced that sign-ups for Zenless Zone Zero's next closed beta test are now available. While the start and end dates of the next closed beta haven't been unveiled just yet, we do know that there's going to be a new character to play, a new faction, new missions, and overhauls to the game's combat and exploration. I'd imagine it's worth a look if you're into Genshin Impact, or are into your anime fights. Either one will suffice.
