Zenless Zone Zero unveils new features, with one allowing players to select a 5-star character!
Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) is an upcoming action role-playing gacha game (ARPG) with an urban fantasy theme. The game is developed by miHoYo, and worldwide publishing will be done by HoYoverse. It’s speculated that it will be released in 2024 for PC, mobile, and PlayStation 5.
Players take on the role of a Proxy who guides people through their exploration of the Hollows, which are supernatural disasters that appear out of air. This is where the monsters called Ethereal roam.
The game entered its third closed beta test (CBT3) “Amplifying Test” on April 18, 2024. This revealed that players can pick any Standard 5-Star characters after 300 pulls, similar to the Stellar Warp in Honkai: Star Rail.
The characters that can be selected are (from left to right): Grace Howard, Alexandrina, Koleda Belobog, Nekomiya Mana, Soldier 11, and Von Lycaon. It states on the selection menu, “After a total of 300 Signal Searches on the Stable Channel, you may recruit an additional S-Rank Agent from the Stable Channel” with the player’s progress on the lower right.
Some players are displeased that there’s only one male character in the selection choices, and those who wished that the required number of pulls was lower. There were HoYo fans who rejoiced that a non-Honkai game like Zenless Zone Zero was getting “treated fairly,” and many of them commenting that “Genshin could never.”
Unlike in Genshin Impact where there is a “beginner banner” with discounted pulls, Zenless Zone Zero will have 50 discounted pulls in the standard banner and counts towards the 300-pulls 5-star selector.
Apart from the exciting free 5-Star and discounted pulls, several changes and new features were added in the third closed beta test. This includes the ability to have multiplayer co-op against weekly bosses, stamina is not required in the story, skip all option (except for animations), the stamina was bumped up to 240, and a lot more.
The free 5-Star character selection after 300 pulls is definitely exciting, and the changes and new features are something to look forward to. Make sure to stay updated on the news and guides for Zenless Zone Zero, here on Level Push!
