Zenless Zone Zero is a new urban fantasy ARPG from Hoyoverse, in which a scourge called Hollows – an unusual spherical dimension that emerges from thin air and devours everything it touches – destroys society. modern. New Eridu, the last remaining metropolis, rose up against this destructive disaster and became a remnant of contemporary civilization. In the game, players will take on the role of Proxy, along with unique characters to explore the Hollow, fight enemies, complete quests, and reveal the mysteries behind New Eridu.

Despite its post-apocalyptic setting, the world of Zenless Zone Zero is filled with compelling stories and dynamic characters.

Furthermore, countless newly designed Bangboos are under your command as companions with unique abilities in battle.
