According to the announcement, Zenless Zone Zero is an entirely new urban fantasy IP focused on action-oriented gameplay that is set in a post-apocalyptic city. Players take on the role of a “Proxy” with different partners to fight enemies in New Eridu, described as “the last shelter for urban civilization.” You can check out the first real trailer for Zenless Zone Zero for yourself embedded below:
“Contemporary civilization has been destroyed by a supernatural disaster known as the ‘Hollows’.
