Zenless Zone Zero is the next effort by developers of Genshin Impact

Zero Zenless ZoneThis is the most recent project by Genshin Impact developer miHoYo’s subsidiary, HoYoverse. The extravagant trailer was shown during the Summer Game Fest livestream.

Geoff Keighley presented the trailer, adding a little analysis. ZZZ Offers “the detail of Genshin Impact with a fast-paced action style.” The “futuristic urban action game” as he called it takes place in a city called New Eridu where a vast conspiracy of some sort is running amok. According to the official website, players will “live dual identities” and serve as “Proxies” operating in “a warped reality.” The mercenary lifestyle requires players to explore dungeons, called Hollows, with a squad of other players.

The final game will include many different — and likely highly collectible — playable factions. Gentle House is also called Cunning Hares. This group includes Anby Demara (Nicola Damara), and Billy Kid, the cyborg. Other characters were seen in the trailer fighting against giant robots and heavily-armed soldiers in close-quarters melee combat. A tall, slim fox-man dressed in jet engines and accompanied by calves was the most notable design.
