This free game is sure to be a success and is coming to PlayStation 5! This action RPG is talked about in the same way as other software from the same studio.
On the occasion of its latest State of Play, Sony managed to surprise by announcing the immediate availability of a free game: Silent Hill: The Short Message. An experience to which all lovers of the genre flocked, and that will undoubtedly also be the case with this next free-to-play that has confirmed its arrival on PS5.
Zenless Zone Zero confirmed for PS5
HoYoverse has accustomed us to success with its various games. Firstly with Honkai Impact, which achieved notable success in Asia, but especially with Genshin Impact, which revolutionized gacha around the world. We still talk about Genshin-like to talk about the genre. Most recently, with Honkai Star Rail, the studio proved that it wasn’t just a coincidence. Like Genshin last year, the app won the award for best mobile game of the year at the Game Awards 2023. Now it’s the turn of a brand new game and it’s coming to PS5, it’s confirmed and still free to play.
This time, following the fantasy of Genshin and the futurism of the Honkai games, Hoyoverse offers us a post-apocalyptic urban environment with Zenless Zone Zero. The old world has been decimated by a natural disaster and all the cities are nothing more than Hollows, ruined areas haunted by mysterious creatures. Fortunately, one city has managed to survive and thrive in this hostile universe: New Eridu. However, in order to continue to exist and develop, the residents need valuable resources from the Hollows. This is where you come in, you play as proxies, the only people authorized to visit these remnants of another era.
A gameplay à la Hoyoverse
This next free PS5 game then takes the form of an action RPG adventure where your goal is to provide for the needs of New Eridu on behalf of an agent. Apparently, according to Gacha, your team consists of several deputies who combine their forces to defeat the threat lurking in the various rubble. As far as gameplay goes, it’s like this: you have to create a synergy between your characters’ abilities to get the most power possible. Combat will also focus on dodging and timing.
Exploration will not only be about confrontations, but it will also be possible to find secrets in labyrinthine maps. We can imagine that, like in Genshin, certain characters have abilities that they can use outside of combat to make your expeditions easier. Lots of activities can also be expected in New Eridu, the last inhabited city. In the program, the developers talk about a reputation system among residents, but also about secondary goals, such as acquiring bonuses in the video club. However, we don’t have any further information about the release date, except that Zenless Zone Zero will be released on PS5 and PC in 2024.
