Zenless Zone Zero 1.0 is just around the corner and the long wait for HoYoverse’s urban fantasy action RPG is basically at an end – we’re so close now that we can finally talk about fine details like at which precise time the game will be unlocked and when you can start preloading.

HoYoverse’s next game will launch simultaneously on PC, PS5, iOS, and Android – a first for the company, but not a challenge it won’t be able to tackle thanks to its vast resources and talent. It has full cross-progression capabilities, so you can choose whichever device you want to start out with and can easily continue playing on a different one.
