HoYoverse announced the start of sign-ups for the new round of closed beta test of its forthcoming urban fantasy ARPG Zenless Zone Zero on PC, iOS, and Android. The upcoming beta, known as the Amplifying Test, will introduce significant changes to the combat and Hollow exploration systems, improving their flow and pacing. It will also showcase a new character, a new faction, brand-new Bangboo mechanics, the combat challenge — Shiyu Defense, and more.
In this post-apocalyptic adventure, contemporary civilization has been destroyed by a supernatural disaster known as the Hollows. Amidst this overwhelming calamity, the city of New Eridu has risen against all odds and evolved into the last bastion of modern civilization. Players will take on the role of a Proxy and embark on a mission to defeat unknown enemies and unravel the mysteries behind New Eridu.
The Amplifying Test will showcase a brand-new character, Zhu Yuan, and a new faction — New Eridu Public Security’s Criminal Investigation Special Response Team. The latest Bangboo models are also on their way to the battlefield with their newly developed combat technique — Bangboo chain attacks. In addition, the combat challenge known as Shiyu Defense, along with a series of combat missions, will be available for players through the upgraded Hollow Deep Dive System (HDD). This updated system allows players to dive straight into challenging boss battles without any additional steps.
The upcoming closed beta test is expected to bring about significant improvements to the game’s overall gameplay experience. After several iterations, combat design is now more dynamic, maximizing excitement for both newcomers and hardcore players, especially in Rally Missions and Hollow Zero. Finally, New Eridu offers more urban life events and city guidance to provide its “citizens” with an immersive residential experience.
Sign-up for the Amplifying Test on PC, iOS, and Android is now available via: https://zenless.hoyoverse.com/.
Please note that the Amplifying Test test is only available on PC & Mobile.
