Zenless Zone Zero Leak: Unveiling "Virtual Idol" & "Son of Caledon" Factions!

New idol Factions

Today, the upcoming action game Zenless Zone Zero by HoYoverse (PC / iOS / Android / PS5) has officially unveiled information about the "Virtual Idol" faction and the "Son of Caledon" faction, for players to reference.

The official statement acknowledges the presence of numerous leaks about Zenless Zone Zero across various social media platforms. Upon investigation, it was confirmed that the leaker had obtained development data through unauthorized means, including unpublished character design concepts from the development team, which is deeply regrettable. Therefore, the decision was made to release relevant information directly instead of attempting to conceal it.

Virtual Idol (temporary name)

The idea of ​​choosing the idol faction initially stemmed from the team's admiration for idol culture. They believed that a group of optimistic idols, conveying love and dreams through their performances, could empower others.

Therefore, the team unanimously decided to initiate a new project: within this dreamy ensemble, there are aspiring singers who aim to ignite passion with their voices, natural performers who shine on stage, and emotionally nuanced creators. The development team is diligently working on this new faction's project. After finalizing the designs for the three idols, they plan to introduce them to everyone by constructing real virtual idols.

At that time, the idols will personally participate in the live broadcast of Zenless Zone Zero, and the development team will launch more related projects such as character songs centered around them. The development team is confident that the idols will be presented in the best possible way.

Son of Caledon(temporary name)

Regarding the leaked content about the new faction "Son of Caledon," some of it represents the team's exploration of character design, and some of these concepts have already been discarded. However, the team wants to inform everyone that some characters from the "Son of Caledon" faction will meet with players during the upcoming public test preview livestream, accompanied by many surprises. Ropers are urged to pay attention to the follow-up information from the official livestream.

Both the "Son of Caledon" and "Virtual Idol" factions reflect the team's passion and inspiration, and much effort has been invested in their creation, with ongoing work. The overall completion of the virtual idol faction will still take some time. The development team believes that even if more time is required, they still hope to create more exquisite and unique content in a handcrafted manner.

The dev didn't anticipate that everyone would see the early creations like this, and it's regrettable for both them and the players. Despite the ongoing challenges, the production team still clings to beautiful dreams, and the original intention to bring surprises remains unchanged. The development team is hopeful that the newly crafted New Aery will still shine brightly, and adventurers will eagerly flock here in anticipation.
