Zenless Zone Zero Patch Cycle Length Leaked

Summary

Version 1.7 will reportedly conclude the current patch cycle.
Anticipation builds for the 1.5 update, introducing new playable characters.

A recent leak concerning Zenless Zone Zero suggests the current patch cycle will extend to Version 1.7 before transitioning to Version 2.0. Despite being less than a year old, the RPG has consistently delivered new content and characters with each update.

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, fans eagerly await Version 1.5, promising two new playable units, a fresh area, and a potential Nicole Demara skin. A new leak now indicates a longer-than-anticipated 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, culminating in Version 3.0. This contrasts with other HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, which concluded their first cycles with Version 1.6. If accurate, this extended cycle would differentiate Zenless Zone Zero and provide players with significantly more content. Furthermore, the same source leaked plans for 31 additional characters, a substantial addition to the current roster of 26 playable units.

Although Version 1.7 remains months away, players anticipate the upcoming 1.5 update. This update includes a new main story chapter, a new area, events, and most notably, the addition of Astra Yao and Evelyn as playable S-Rank units. Astra Yao is rumored to be a strong support character. Previous leaks hinted at Astra Yao's material requirements, encouraging players to prepare in advance.

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