Meanwhile, even though the Zenless Zone Zero team hasn't officially announced a release date as yet, it appears that the game will arrive in July.

While the Google Play Store has the game listed simply as "Coming Soon", Apple's App Store on mobile adds the game is "expected" on 4th July here in the UK. The App Store's website, meanwhile, has 3rd July listed.

After an initial tease, HoYoverse - which manages all of miHoYo's global operations outside of China - revealed that Zenless Zone Zero is an action role-playing game and described it as an urban fantasy title and an "attempt to further explore action-oriented gameplay".

Our Jessica took part in a closed beta for Zenless Zone Zero towards the end of last year, stating the game would be "brilliant if it didn't keep wasting your time".

"There's something missing from Zenless Zone Zero. Armed with a deep combat system, new urban setting, and roster of characters easy to love, it seemed like developer miHoYo was teed up for another win after recent successes Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail... and yet after playing its second beta, I'm left more confused than anything else," she wrote in our Zenless Zone Zero preview feature.
