Zenless Zone Zero is described as an "urban fantasy action RPG" on the PlayStation blog, and is set in a city called New Eridu. The world has been destroyed by a supernatural disaster known as the Hollows, and players will explore these dangerous areas in search of answers and resources.

Combat is in real-time, as opposed to the turn-based combat in Honkai: Star Rail, and will have a deep focus on dodging, timing, and experimenting with combos.

Zenless Zone Zero held a closed beta in November, and is currently expected to release in 2024.
