Zenless Zone Zero, the nextPCand mobile game from MiHoYo, is an exciting new free-to-play game with a heavy focus on its action. However, can you explore a large open world in Zenless Zone Zero like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail?
Does Zenless Zone Zero Have an Open World?
Many fans ofGenshin Impactand Honkai Star Rail, MiHoYo’s other properties, love the beautiful open worlds they can explore. Unfortunately, Zenless Zone Zero won’t have one. Similar to a game like Splatoon or Monster Hunter Rise, there will be a city hub you can look around, but when you’re on missions, there are set environments you’ll go through. The city hub will let you get new items and accept missions, but don’t expect a large open area to gaze at.

As you take on missions, you’ll be exploring labyrinths as you venture through different Hollows with your chosen squad. Hollows are space-time dimensions filled to the brim with monsters. On the bright side, these dimensions also provide much-needed Ether for the city of New Eridu.
How does Zenless Zone Zero Compare to Genshin Impact?
Zenless Zone Zero’s main attraction is going to be its combat. Unlike Genshin Impact, there will be a parrying system, assists, and perfect dodges that are inspired by Capcom’s Devil May Cry series, according toGame Rant. The action is likely going to be intense and keep fans more entertained overall than its fantasy RPG predecessor.
Furthermore, Zenless Zone Zero is more like a roguelike with its TV mode. You’ll be going through puzzles and battles through a grid on an old-school CRT TV screen. Depending on how you proceed, you may get buffs and debuffs on your characters, heightening the intensity of the game.
PC Open World Games You Should Try
If you’re disappointed that Zenless Zone Zero doesn’t have an open world, there are alternatives on PC at least. If you’re looking for a cyberpunk city like Zenless Zone Zero, Cyberpunk 2077 might be an RPG for you. It has a stunning city to explore with fascinating characters lurking within it.
“The relatively short main story encourages multiple playthroughs with different playstyles and choices, and Night City is big enough to spend countless hours exploring and completing the massive amount of side content while being interesting and enjoyable enough where the player would want to do that,” saidour review. “Cyberpunk 2077 combines an engaging story with a huge open world to explore, filled with memorable and interesting characters to work with and plenty of ways to kill them.”
