Zenless: Patch Cycle Duration Leaked?

Zenless Zone Zero's Extended Patch Cycle: A Leak Reveals Future Updates

Recent leaks suggest a longer-than-anticipated patch cycle for Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ). Instead of mirroring other HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail which concluded their initial cycles at Version 1.6, ZZZ's current cycle is projected to extend to Version 1.7, followed by Version 2.0, then 2.8, and finally 3.0.

This revelation comes from reputable leaker, Flying Flame, who also hinted at a substantial future character roster expansion. With 26 currently playable characters, the addition of 31 more planned units signifies a significant commitment to long-term content.

This extended content roadmap follows a successful first year for ZZZ. The game's popularity continues to grow, marked by its Game Awards nomination and a notable collaboration with McDonald's.

The upcoming Version 1.5 update is highly anticipated, introducing two new S-Rank playable units – Astra Yao and Evelyn – alongside a new area, story chapter, and events. Astra Yao is particularly noteworthy, rumored to be a strong support character. Given previous leaks revealing her ascension materials, players are advised to prepare in advance.

Version 1.4, featuring the powerful Hoshimi Miyabi, recently concluded. While initially met with some player criticism regarding potential censorship, HoYoverse swiftly addressed the issue and provided compensation.

The extended patch cycle, culminating in Version 1.7 before the launch of Version 2.0, promises a substantial amount of new content for players. While Version 1.7 remains months away, the imminent arrival of Version 1.5 offers immediate excitement for ZZZ fans. The extended roadmap suggests a commitment to ongoing development and a significant content pipeline for the future.
