With the release right around the corner, the title\u2019s producer Zhenyu Li has revealed some of the inspirations behind the brand-new IP.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Zenless Zone Zero TGA 2023 Announcement Video\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Yu6l8GNX6NI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In a recent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.famitsu.com\/article\/202406\/8314\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Famitsu<\/a>, Li says that the initial pitch for Zenless Zone Zero out of his passion for action games, his favorites being soulslike titles such as the Dark Souls trilogy, as well as the Devil May Cry series and Monster Hunter games. Aware of action games\u2019 reputation of being challenging and hard to learn, Li has been especially conscious of designing Zenless Zone Zero to be approachable for a wider audience. However, it seems this was not executed by merely lowering the game\u2019s difficulty.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Li, Zenless Zone Zero is designed to get players accustomed to its action mechanics gradually \u2013 starting out with getting the player to learn attack controls and then easing into defense mechanics such as dodging and parrying. The philosophy of the game is not to present the player with anything too difficult until they have a firm grasp of the controls, which is why veteran players may find the game insufficiently challenging in its early stages. However, this sounds like it will make Zenless Zone Zero a more approachable game for novice players.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Li says that he owes his understanding of the \u201cprocess of improving at a game\u201d to fighting games \u2013 particularly the Street Fighter series. The creator has apparently accumulated over 2000 hours playing Street Fighter games, which has helped him acquire a feeling for how long it takes to learn a game based on the complexity of its action mechanics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an aside, Li also mentions being inspired by Vanillaware\u2019s games, particularly Muramasa: The Demon Blade and Odin Sphere.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"954\" height=\"537\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240619-32706-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240619-32706-001.jpg 954w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240619-32706-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240619-32706-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240619-32706-001-600x338.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zenless.hoyoverse.com\/en-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Zenless Zone Zero<\/strong><\/a> is scheduled to launch on July 4 for PC, PS5, iOS and Android.
