The video provides some context on the seven heroes who helped save New Eridu from the perspective of mysterious hackers.
miHoYoâs Zenless Zone Zero launched last week for iOS, Android, PS5 and PC, quickly surpassing 50 million downloads. However, itâs only the beginning of the free-to-play hack-and-slash title, with a new lore video providing some more background on New Eridu and the Hollows while teasing some mysterious individuals. Check it out below.
The video outlines more about the Void Hunters from the perspective of hackers accessing the Inter-Knot Database, mocking the Hollow Investigative Association for believing the Hollows are contained. One is the ancestor of Hoshimi Miyabi (the current leader of Section 6), who defeated the Exaltist Overseer. Then thereâs the Marcel Groupâs former CEO, Lady âSunbringerâ, who defeated the âHive Lordâ Hollow and invented Bangboo.
âJoyousâ, the Investigation Guildâs Ace, is seemingly considered the predecessor to Proxies. Meanwhile, Colonel Vike, Lieutenant Colonel Dan and âthe leader of the Falkenhayn Mercenary Troupeâ pushed the Dark Wall back alone. Perhaps most interesting is Professor Arche, who sought to discern the similarities between Hollows and entered Hollow Zero to learn more before disappearing.
Given the mysterious groupâs use of AI (including Fairy), it seems they have big plans for New Eriduâs future. In the meantime, it should be interesting to see if these characters, much less their descendants, play a role in the current story. Stay tuned for updates in the meantime.
