Summary
- Update 1.7 is reportedly set to conclude the current patch cycle.
- Players are eagerly anticipating the 1.5 update featuring new playable units.
A recent leak about Zenless Zone Zero has revealed potential details about future update cycles, indicating that the game's current cycle will wrap up with Version 1.7 before moving on to Version 2.0. Though Zenless Zone Zero launched less than a year ago, the RPG has consistently delivered new features and characters with each update.
2024 marked a successful debut year for Zenless Zone Zero. Not only did the RPG earn a nomination for Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards, but it also continued to grow its player base with every new release. The game even collaborated with McDonald's to release exclusive merchandise—a notable achievement for a relatively new title. Zenless Zone Zero’s 1.4 update recently went live, but players are already excited for the upcoming patch, which promises two new playable characters, a brand-new area, and a potential outfit for Nicole Demara. Now, this latest leak hints that the ongoing patch cycle may extend longer than originally expected.
According to reliable leaker Flying Flame, Zenless Zone Zero’s current update cycle is expected to end with Version 1.7. The report also states that the game will then follow up with Version 2.0, and this next cycle will finish with Version 2.8 before advancing to Version 3.0. In comparison, other HoYoverse titles such as Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail wrapped up their first major patch cycles at Version 1.6. If the leak proves accurate, Zenless Zone Zero could distinguish itself by offering an extended content schedule. Additionally, the same source disclosed that developers already have plans for 31 new characters in future updates. Currently, Zenless Zone Zero features 26 playable units between S-Rank and A-Rank, indicating that the roster will expand significantly.
Zenless Zone Zero Leak Hints at Duration of Next Patch Cycle
- Version 1.7 will lead into Version 2.0
- Version 2.8 will be followed by Version 3.0
Although Version 1.7 is likely still several months away, players can look forward to the game’s next update, Version 1.5. This patch will include a new main story chapter, a fresh explorable area, in-game events, and more. What’s likely generating the most excitement, however, is the introduction of two new S-Rank characters: Astra Yao and Evelyn. Early rumors suggest Astra Yao could serve as a strong support unit, and earlier Zenless Zone Zero leaks revealed some of her upgrade materials, giving players a head start on farming before her release.
Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.4 is anticipated to conclude in late January. While the update added Hoshimi Miyabi—an incredibly powerful unit—it also prompted some concern among players due to reports of unintended censorship. Fortunately, the developers quickly addressed the issue and compensated the community for the inconvenience.
