As the Zenless Zone Zero’s second closed beta unfolds, the Zenless community is buzzing with excitement and debate over whether the game needs a bit more time in the development oven. The recent news that Zenless Zone Zero has made its debut on the Epic Games Store has ignited fan speculation about the game’s official release date. We’ll take a stroll down memory lane with Honkai: Star Rail, hinting that the game might be making its way home sooner than we thought.

Chinese Authorities have given their thumbs up

HoYoverse, successfully navigated the approval process in late October 2023 as reported by Gamer Braves. Taking a cue from HoYoverse’s previous hit, Honkai: Star Rail, we can draw some insights. After getting the green light in January 2023, Honkai: Star Rail went through its final closed beta before dazzling the gaming world on April 26, 2023 – a roughly four-month journey from approval to release.

Zenless Discovered on the Epic Games Store

Fans have stumbled upon a gem in the Epic Games Store, showcasing the game with a “Coming Soon” date. The catch? As far as we’ve been able to tell, this new piece of information has surfaced in the last 24 hours meaning the game is coming soon or potentially Epic released their Zenless Zone Zero game page earlier than Star Rail. Regardless, the community is abuzz with anticipation, hoping for a big reveal at the upcoming Game Awards 2023 premiering December 7th.

Will we see Zenless Zone Zero released in early 2024?

While we cannot look into a crystal ball and say for sure, the pattern of release for their previous title Honkai: Star Rail along with the new Epic Game Store listing makes us think the game could release as early as February or April 2024.
