miHoYo, the studio behind the incredibly popular Genshin Impact, announced a new game called Zenless Zone Zero. It’s an action RPG game billed as “urban fantasy” and will launch on PC and smartphones, with additional platforms coming later.

Zenless Zone Zero takes place in a post-apocalyptic city, New Eridu, which is the last shelter for civilization following a supernatural disaster known as the “Hollows.” Players assume the role of a “Proxy” and fight creatures called “Ethereals.” Proxies are special professionals who help guide people who explore the Hollows in order to extract resources.
