The first beta test for Zenless Zone Zero is underway, and gameplay has started appearing online giving us a first proper look.
First revealed back in May, Zenless Zone Zero is the next big title from HoYoverse, obviously best known for the insatiably popular Genshin Impact. There’s been tasty morsels of gameplay shown here and there since its announcement, but never anything too substantial. August 5 saw the start of the game’s first beta test however, and so far it’s looking pretty action packed based on gameplay shared online (thanks, PCGamer).
Where Genshin Impact’s genre is obviously fantasy, Zenless Zone Zero is much more modern, with some strong Jet Set Radio and The World Ends With You vibes. It also differs in that it’s a roguelike, where you explore areas called Hollows to take down monsters. It seems that each mission is made up of various screens, in the very literal TV sense, which each contain their own levels.
