Zenless Zone Zerois finally arriving for Xbox consoles this month, and I can’t wait to play the game on its new platform. Also known asZZZ, the game is another of the many under developer HoYoverse’s belt.While it’s set in a different universe, the title joins the ranks of games likeGenshin ImpactandHonkai: Star Railas a gacha game. Thestory ofZenless Zone Zerosets it apart from the other games in the developer’s roster, but in a good way.
In addition to how its story differs from its siblings, it also offers a unique type of gameplay, despite still being an RPG at its core.ZZZis an action RPG that allows players to obtain new playable units from the gacha banners and build teams based on the activities they will face. Here, however, players have to build teams of three characters. The game also has some open-world map areas, though this is what leads to activities, which are set in fixed instances, makingZenless Zone Zeromore likeHonkai Impact 3rd, for example.
Zenless Zone Zero Comes To Xbox On June 6
HoYoverse’s Action RPG Arrives On Microsoft’s Consoles Along With Version 2.0
Now, the game is set to arrive on Microsoft’s line of current-gen consoles. As has already been announced by developer HoYoverse,ZZZwill arrive for Xbox Series consoles on June 6. The game is F2P (free-to-play) with the possibility of in-game microtransactions that increase your odds of obtaining new characters and W-Engines, the title’s equivalent of weapons. Of course, players will still need to beat thepull rates inZenless Zone Zeroto obtain them, but it is possible to play it without spending any money whatsoever, as there are free options.
To playZZZon Xbox, players will need to have an internet connection, even if they don’t use any of its multiplayer features.When logging in for the first time, it will be possible to connect your Xbox account to a pre-existing HoYoverse account, so if you’ve playedGenshin Impact, for example, you’ll be able to merge those accounts. The release ofZZZon Xbox on June 6 will coincide with the release ofZenless Zone Zero’s Version 2.0 update, which will kick off a brand-new year of content following the story events that have occurred so far.
Why You Should Give ZZZ A Chance
The Fast-Paced Combat & Combos Are Enticing
ZZZis a fast-paced action RPG with plenty of gameplay possibilities thanks to its ever-growing roster of characters.If you enjoy gameplay features such as attack combos, perfect dodge, parries, and quick movement, this is the game for you. The title is much quicker thanGenshin Impactbecause its battles are more intense. The elemental system in this game is a bit different - instead of reactions, players have to build up Attribute Anomalies andDisorders inZenless Zone Zerofor increased damage output. This requires thinking carefully about team comps.
This is also the perfect moment to start playingZZZ. As was previously mentioned, the game is set to enter Version 2.0 on June 6. This will kick off a new year of content, which will gradually expand with updates every six weeks.For now, it’s completely possible to catch up with the game’s campaign and, soon, start the new story arc introduced with Version 2.0. This will also be a great opportunity for players to attempt to obtain the new characters being added with the Version 2.X updates, which will likely be some of the strongest ones so far.
This is a great opportunity for players to start their adventure through New Eridu, learn more about the Hollows that have destroyed a large portion of civilization, and keep up with the game for years to come. Having to catch up with years of content is whyI can’t recommendGenshin Impactanymore, but withZZZbeing in its early stages, I believe that this is the perfect moment for every action RPG fan with an Xbox to start playingZenless Zone Zero.
