EXPLAINED: Zenless zone zero coming to steam later this year | Rare Historical Photos

Zenless Zone Zero Nicole build - Nicole flipping a coin.

Zenless Zone Zero, a game I primarily associate with the neologism "gooner 9/11," is finally en route to PC's biggest digital storefront. This game produced a headline on this very website containing the phrases "divine domain," "jiggle physics," and "cat balls" all one right after the other. It got a glamorous 55% from reviewer Kerry Brunskill, who called it a "shallow, polished front for a relentless online store." In other words, it'll fit right in.

You can take a look at the game's new Steam page, which reveals a release window: Q2 2026. Prospective players can sign up for pre-release tests and secure exclusive rewards for the full launch. A "milestone event" will let the whole community unlock rewards by getting the game's wishlist numbers up, with the final goal being 300,000 wishlists. I can't say developer MiHoYo doesn't have this stuff down to a science.
