With two playtests already concluded, this Amplifying Test will be the most complete form of Zenless Zone Zero yet. Some community members even speculate this will be the final beta test before release.

What is Zenless Zone Zero?

Zenless Zone Zero is the latest game by HoYoverse, the studio behind the massively popular Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. The action RPG features a lively anime-inspired aesthetic paired with a groovy soundtrack reminiscent of the Persona series and a wide-ranging cast of exciting characters.

Welcome to New Eridu

The game is set in the vibrant, urban city of New Eridu, the last stronghold against the destructive mysteries known as the Hollows. These are seemingly random disasters that appear around the city and spawn monsters, known as Ethereals, keen on destroying it.

However, the resilient citizens of New Eridu have made a life for themselves extracting resources from the various Hollows that pop up around their beloved city. Over time, they’ve even industrialized the process, incorporating Hollows into their capitalistic society.

Successfully doing so allows you to earn riches, discover more about the mysterious calamities, and get to know your fellow party members.

Device Requirements

If you’ve been lucky enough to receive an invite, make sure that your device(s) of choice meet the device requirements HoYoverse has outlined for this beta test.

HoYoverse states in theirServer Opening Announcementthat “your Test Qualification will be tied to the first device you log in with on each platform.” Accounts that switch devices on a given platform during the test (ie: iPhone to iPad) will be instantly banned. For this reason, it’s best not to waste your invite on an underpowered device.
