Zenless Zone Zero just got a surprise release date. The upcoming action RPG will launch on July 4 for PlayStation 5, PC, Android and iOS.

Revealed at Summer Game Fest 2022, Zenless Zone Zero is the latest game from Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail studio Mihoyo. Like its previous titles, it’s a stylish free-to-play RPG built with mobile in mind. This one is a postapocalyptic sci-fi game set in New Eridu, the last remaining city following a series of supernatural disasters. The game has been in closed beta for a bit now, but that has come to an end as the studio gets ready for its summer release.

What’s most notable here is that the game will simultaneously launch across mobile devices, as well as PC and PS5. Previous Mihoyo games have launched first on mobile before coming to consoles later. The RPG will feature crossplay and cross-progression across platforms at launch.

There’s a catch for PC players. Zenless Zone Zero will only be available through the Epic Games Store and will not be available on Steam. Players can preregister on the platform now, as well as the iOS App Store, Google Play, and the PlayStation Store.

Mihoyo is rolling out several freebies for players who jump in at launch. Players will get Corin, one of the game’s playable agents, as well as 20 Master Tapes, the currency used to summon rare heroes. Players can also grab 30,000 Dennies and a currency called Boopons.

Sony just hit the final nail in the coffin for physical game discs for PlayStation. Despite the month-long backlash from its fans, the company has confirmed that it is still going ahead with its controversial decision. Sony CFO Lin Tao addressed the criticism during the company’s latest earnings briefing, confirming that Sony plans to proceed with its decision to end physical disc production for new PlayStation releases beginning in January 2028.

Tao acknowledged that players have strong opinions about physical media, while saying Sony spent considerable time evaluating the decision before reaching its conclusion. But at the end of the day, the message was still the same.

GTA 6 owns November, unless the Ocarina of Time Remake has something to say about it
If any game can launch alongside GTA 6, it’s Ocarina of Time Remake

When a major studio or publisher drops a legacy AAA title, other studios generally avoid releasing around the same timeline to avoid having their sales eaten by the more popular game. So when Grand Theft Auto 6 finally got its release date, it was clear no one would be shipping their game during the same month.

But another game maker might be challenging it with a goliath of its own. A new discovery on Nintendo’s UK store has sparked speculation that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake could launch on November 12, just seven days before GTA 6 arrives on November 19.
