Let’s talk about the new IP, Zenless Zone Zero first. It is a combination of urban fantasy and high-octane action, set in a world where mankind was destroyed by a supernatural calamity called the Hollows. Only New Eridu, a technologically advanced civilisation managed to survive because they learnt how to exploit the Hollows. Players take on the role of a Proxy, who is tasked with revealing information about New Eridu. The title will feature cinematic battles and new enemy types that promise a riveting experience.

Coming to Honkai: Star Rail, the highly awaited entry in the Honkai series, the new trailer did a great job of displaying the game’s diverse set of companions with their own battle styles, and showcasing all the combo skills that will be encountered throughout the game. It also gave a first look at Xianzhou Luofu, an exotic location that will be open for exploration in the future.

Both the games don’t seem to have any concrete launch dates yet. Honkai: Star Rail entered another round of closed betas on May 25th while Zenless Zone Zero should begin its own tests soon enough.
