Zenless Zone Zero Leak Hints at Open World Exploration in Version 2.0
A new leak suggests *Zenless Zone Zero* will introduce open world exploration in its upcoming Version 2.0 update, marking a major shift in gameplay.
According to well-known leaker Mero, the new Waifei Peninsula area will feature open zones where players can freely explore and engage in real-time combat, a first for the game. This would move *Zenless Zone Zero* closer to the open-world style seen in other HoYoverse titles like *Genshin Impact* and *Honkai Impact 3rd*.
Version 2.0 is also expected to include the game’s largest map expansion yet, with new Chinese-inspired environments and points of interest like Suibian Temple and Lemnian Hollow. Three new characters—Yixuan, Pan Yinhu, and Ju Fufu—will join the roster as part of the new “Yunkui Summit” faction.
Additional leaks point to new skins for Proxies, a possible mahjong mini-game, and more content aimed at celebrating the game’s first anniversary. Version 2.0 is rumoured to launch on June 4.
