Zenless Zone Zero Leak: Future Patch Cycle Duration Revealed

A recent leak from the reliable source, Flying Flame, has sparked excitement and speculation among the Zenless Zone Zero community. The leak suggests that the current patch cycle of the popular RPG will conclude with Version 1.7, paving the way for the highly anticipated Version 2.0 update. This news comes less than a year after Zenless Zone Zero's initial release, a period during which the game has consistently enriched its content with new features and characters in each patch.

2024 marked a triumphant debut year for Zenless Zone Zero. The game not only earned a nomination for Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards but also saw a steady rise in popularity among players with every new release. The game's collaboration with McDonald's to offer exclusive merchandise further highlighted its growing influence in the gaming world. Although the recently released Version 1.4 update introduced fans to new content, the anticipation for the upcoming patches is palpable, especially with the promise of two new playable units, a new area, and a potential skin for Nicole Demara in the next update.

Zenless Zone Zero Leak Suggests Next Patch Cycle Duration

While Version 1.7 might still be months away, Zenless Zone Zero enthusiasts have much to look forward to with the imminent Version 1.5 update. This patch promises to deliver a new main story chapter, an additional area, engaging events, and the introduction of two S-Rank characters, Astra Yao and Evelyn. Astra Yao is rumored to excel as a support character, making her a valuable addition to team compositions. Players eager to add her to their roster may want to start farming her materials early, as hinted by earlier leaks.

Version 1.4, set to conclude in late January, brought the powerful unit Hoshimi Miyabi into the game but was not without its controversies. Alleged censorship issues prompted swift action from the developers, who fixed the bug within a day and compensated affected players. This quick response underscores the dedication of the Zenless Zone Zero team to maintaining a high-quality gaming experience for its community.

If the leaks hold true, Zenless Zone Zero's patch cycle ending at Version 1.7 would distinguish it from other HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, which ended their first cycles at Version 1.6. This extended cycle could mean more content and a richer experience for players. Moreover, another leak from Flying Flame revealed that the developers have plans for 31 new characters, expanding the current roster of 26 playable characters across S-Rank and A-Rank units.
