Summary

• Version 1.7 will reportedly conclude the current patch cycle.
• Players eagerly anticipate the 1.5 update, featuring new units.

A recent leak regarding Zenless Zone Zero suggests the current patch cycle will end with Version 1.7, paving the way for the 2.0 update. Despite being less than a year old, this action RPG has consistently delivered new content and characters with each patch.

2024 marked a successful launch year for Zenless Zone Zero. The game received a Best Mobile Game nomination at The Game Awards and steadily gained popularity. A collaboration with McDonald's further solidified its presence. While the 1.4 update recently launched, anticipation is high for the upcoming 1.5 update, promising two new playable units, a new area, and a potential Nicole Demara skin. However, a new leak hints at a longer-than-expected current patch cycle.

Reliable leaker, Flying Flame, reports that Version 1.7 will conclude the current cycle, followed by Version 2.0, then Version 2.8, leading to Version 3.0. This contrasts with other HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, which ended their first cycles with Version 1.6. If accurate, this extended cycle would set Zenless Zone Zero apart by offering more substantial content. Furthermore, the same source leaked that 31 new characters are planned, a significant addition to the current roster of 26 playable units (S-Rank and A-Rank).

Zenless Zone Zero Leak: Projected Patch Cycle Duration

• Version 1.7, followed by Version 2.0
• Version 2.8, followed by Version 3.0

Although Version 1.7 remains months away, the upcoming 1.5 update is generating excitement. It will introduce a new main story chapter, a new area, events, and most notably, the addition of S-Rank units Astra Yao and Evelyn. Astra Yao is rumored to be a strong support character. Previous leaks hinted at Astra Yao's ascension materials, encouraging players to prepare.

Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.4, which concluded in late January, introduced the powerful unit Hoshimi Miyabi, but also faced criticism regarding alleged censorship. However, the developers swiftly addressed the issue and compensated players.
