Zenless Zone Zero, MiHoYo's upcoming aRPG, has shown off a brand new pre-release stream filled with highlights and sneak peeks of the upcoming title. With the game's launch coming up hot for July 4th, the version 1.0 livestream gives us perhaps our last chance to get a good look at the game before it hits storefronts on the App Store and Google Play next month.
Set in a post-apocalyptic world devasted by an event called Hollows, you'll play as "Proxy" and explore New Eridu, the last remaining bastion of human civilization. Taking the action of MiHoYo's usual aRPG fare well out of their sci-fi and fantasy comfort zone, Zenless Zone Zero could be the studio's biggest hit yet.
Big expectations?
When Zenless Zone Zero hits storefronts on July 4th, it'll join an already massive lineup of games from MiHoYo. Ever since the release and subsequent explosion of popularity experienced by Genshin Impact, the studio has gone from strength to strength.

Zenless Zone Zero will be distinctive in its setting, diverging from the sci-fi and fantasy settings of the Honkai series and Genshin Impact respectively, and instead opting for a more urban fantasy aesthetic. The emphasis on music is quite apparent from the livestream alone, with a performance leading the showcase of gameplay and new areas.

Is MiHoYo perhaps poised to become the next Supercell, with a portfolio of successful games? Or could Zenless Zone Zero prove to be somewhat overwhelming for some players? We'll have to wait and see.
