Zheyu Li, producer of the upcoming city fantasy gacha RPG Zenless Zone Zero, has mentioned he would ultimately prefer to see his sport launched on “all platforms”. The sport is on account of launch on July 4 for PC, PlayStation 5, and cell gadgets.
Zenless Zone Zero’s devs have been coyly hinting at the potential of a Swap port for some time, and certainly it is not the primary HoYoverse sport to generate rumours of additional console releases down the road. Genshin Influence has been vaguely anticipated for different platforms ever since its massively profitable launch on PC, cell, and PS4 in 2020; the PlayStation 5 model arrived in 2021 after a relatively quick wait, however there’s been little or no phrase on the Swap port because the announcement that it will be coming sooner or later.
As with each Genshin and Honkai: Star Rail, nothing as agency as a launch window for any additional upcoming platforms Zenless Zone Zero may hit has materialised but, with every new HoYo launch seemingly concentrating on cell, PC, and PlayStation in roughly that order. And whereas the corporate’s ongoing relationship with PlayStation has been clear for a very long time – Genshin Influence even loved an official crossover with Horizon Zero Daybreak at one level – it has been far much less obvious whether or not different consoles will ever actually see a HoYoverse launch.
Nevertheless, in an interview with VG247, Li was captivated with the potential of sometime seeing his sport on all accessible platforms, after being requested concerning the hints in direction of an announcement for the Swap.
When requested whether or not his ambition expanded to a possible Xbox port too – a dream that was shortly quashed for Genshin followers again within the day – Li merely repeated these phrases: “all platforms”.
He was cautious to level out, nevertheless, that his private hope to see the sport made accessible in all places doesn’t suggest that additional console ports are formally within the works, with the crew’s present precedence being very a lot targeted on making certain that Zenless Zone Zero has launch on the subject of PC, cell, and PS5 firstly of subsequent month. The sport’s social media accounts lately celebrated its reaching 40 million pre-registrations – about 4 occasions the quantity loved by Genshin Influence and Honkai: Star Rail earlier than their respective launches – so there’s loads of of us the devs know are already queueing as much as see what the sport has to supply.
Elsewhere in HoYoverse porting information – or reasonably lack thereof – there’s nonetheless been no additional phrase on the apparently-still-upcoming PlayStation 4 launch of Honkai: Star Rail, which made its manner onto PS5 final October after launching on PC and cell earlier within the yr.
