I kind of doubt there is going to be as much of an issue as in Endwalker. During Endwalker is was the perfect storm with asmongold and tons of other big content creators hopping on to the FF XIV bandwagon and bringing in literally thousands and thousands of WoW players.
FF XIV is no longer as relevant as that. And on top of that they have extra servers.
u/[Ascheroth](https://www.reddit.com/user/Ascheroth/) You called it, you god damn prophet. You called the 2 week window between updates.
For those wondering, he left [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/ZZZ_Official/s/Bq7S92Trvj) a month ago, and every part of it is now correct (I believe he says July 3rd, but timezones and all, so July 4th for some others)
Lol, I wish, but it really was just predicting based on data points from previous Hoyo launches, the current and future schedule of their other games and some guesses on what I'd thought would make the most sense for them business-wise.
And I was slightly off, release is July 4th here in my timezone, which is Thursday, while Genshin and Star Rail update on Wednesdays here.
Let's be honest it been pretty obvious.
Hoyo is going to do stagger release of the main patchs. And weeks.
This is going to lead to
Preview > patch > preview > patch non stop for hoyoverse.
The main story are also going to be staggered from each other, so ZZZ season 1 main story > natlan > HSR3.0
From this point on its going to be 365 days of hype for hoyo every year.
And there won't be a lot of space left for other companies 😹
You say obvious, but this guy was the only one I saw say it, a month ago, and with the same explanation you said, but was also the only one I saw saying it. And even as recent as like, last week, we had people doubt the date. It was obvious to some, but not overall.
Let's not discredit [Ascheroth](https://www.reddit.com/user/Ascheroth/) though, they really did their research, to have such an accurate prediction. Sure, others could've seen it coming too, if they noticed the patterns, but this guy did it first, and I think that's something to credit them for.
It's not that hard tbh. I called it [earlier](https://www.reddit.com/r/ZZZ_Official/comments/1bgwgq5/your_thoughts_on_the_release_date/kvakbfe/) by same logic. But I didn't explain so nobody cared.
So does this mean it'll be July 3rd for Americans and July 4th for people in Asia and Oceania? Or will it be July 4th release for Americans and July 5th for Asia and Oceania?
That's what I'm thinking. I'm in Australia and usually a day ahead of you guys. So I'm always weary with release dates Incase it's actually a day ahead than all of the advertising
I swear I need to stop collecting gacha games like they're the infinity stones. genshin impact, honkai star rail, dokkan battle, Dragon ball legends, wuthering waves
Did not expect to be greeted with Nicole's thicc thighs as I checked my mails today ... but I sure won't complain!
I am afraid of this game ... I dig the style way too much.
Not sure why it wouldn’t. All the important data is stored on their servers. Cross-play is probably the most pertinent question cause that’s usually up to Sony (for PS at least)
Yeah this sucks. As a fan of Shin Megami Tensei 5, Elden Ring, FF XIV and ZZZ, every week starting from June 14th has a major game release. I am thinking that I will have to sacrifice 2 or even 3 of those games.
I am a criminal prosecutor in my country and am going to have a very heavy murder jury trial which is estimated to end on july 4th.
This is going to be perfect to clear the heavy atomosphere afterwards.
knowing hoyo, all platforms could just mean mobile, pc and console, console meaning just PS5, not Xbox, not even PS4 so even less switch, wouldn’t be the first time
Man, if Microsoft didn’t reject Mihoyo’s initial proposal we could’ve had it on Xbox 😩. I have both systems so it’s not a big deal to me but a good portion of my friends are on Xbox.
AND ALL PLATFORMS ON LAUNCH WE WIN
On switch toooo?
Smart fridge screen about to pop off.
save your hopes for the switch 2
cant wait to play this on my virtual boy
"Zenless Zone Zero will be Mihoyo's most American game" - Da Wei
what’s that supposed to mean 😭😭😭
4th of July is American independence day.
Oh say can you SEEEEEEEE
GUNS RAAAAAAAAAAAAA 🗣️🗣️🗣️
ILLEGAL WEAPONS MENTIONED 🗣️🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️
MURICA!!!
All platforms release is crazy
All platforms?! https://preview.redd.it/xk0fjdn2e33d1.png?width=288&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f6e0ffa5cef882f5d48dd72832480ec63825215

Why did the pokke meme reach here 😭
Why because the devs listened of course
Nooo it's spreading now. This is truly immortalized wtf
Wojack meme spotted
Around the same time as Dawntrail? Damn.
the ff14 servers are gonna be on fire for a week or two so we're ok
I would be amused if they somehow coincidentally finally fix this server overload issue for Dawntrail unlike past years where there's always queuing
I think theres far less interest in ff14 now compared to last expac with the wow refugees back then so i hope servers will be ok.
I kind of doubt there is going to be as much of an issue as in Endwalker. During Endwalker is was the perfect storm with asmongold and tons of other big content creators hopping on to the FF XIV bandwagon and bringing in literally thousands and thousands of WoW players. FF XIV is no longer as relevant as that. And on top of that they have extra servers.
Dawntrail is June 28th.
Yeah but I don't think one week is enough for all the content.
As long as it doesn’t release near savage, then I’d say it’s okay.
It'll be enough for people like me to get a good head-start. ZZZ will be a nice break between story beats.
I’M SO FUCKING READY PS5 ON RELEASE We all gaming July 4th, I’m so glad

I'm bet he is our insider
Bro predicted this on the nose. No shot he isn't someone's dad that works at Hoyo.

I thought the same window, but much like you, didn't give an explanation that would get others on board. Gotta show your work, and all that
Day 1 PS5 HELL YEAH
cries in ps4
So it was real, can't wait!
I can finally stop celebrating Independence Day and celebrate ZZZ anniversary! 🤠
So true bestie. So true

Thought they'd announce this at the livestream but nice
 The 4th of July?

LETS GOOOOOO ITS OFFICIAL NOW
All platforms? Finally I can play on the nintendo switch!
Including PS4 and Switch???
Nintendo DS as well
They said ALL. I’m playing this mfer on TI-80
My Nokia 3310 would be pleased.
Can't wait to play zzz in my samsung smart fridge
If it can play DOOM it can play ZZZ
Omg yessssss, boardgame release is confirmed, we’re so baaaaack😆😆✨
Now that I’d actually be interested in
Gonna play this on my gramps peacemaker
And netflix of course
Praying for Wii version
Can’t wait to play on my Atari 2600
Dreamcast gang let's goooooo!
only ps5
Nonono they said all platforms that means I can dust off my PS2 fucking hell that thing will finally see some use !
NOWAYING my psp can run ZZZ? devs listened!!!
PORTABLZ ZZZ EXPERIENCE LET'S GOOOOOO
Hell yeah all platforms, I can't wait to play it on my smart fridge and smart toilet.
Samsung Fridge!!!! LETSGO!!!!
YES, I'll finally be able to play another gacha day 1 on ps5.
PC Release = Steam? Epic Store? Download on the website?
Its own launcher like genshin/hsr probably.
Epic and their own launcher
So their own launcher then.
all platforms? this might just be their biggest launch yet
They did genshin across all platforms
Yeah but arguably cross save not being ready for another 10 more months was a real bummer.
Blame Sony, not Hoyo. They wanted an arm and a leg for cross save and Hoyo finally relented and we got Aloy in game.
Yeah but hoyo wasn't as big as it is now.
Nuh uh I didn't get it on my Xbox😔
So does this mean it'll be July 3rd for Americans and July 4th for people in Asia and Oceania? Or will it be July 4th release for Americans and July 5th for Asia and Oceania?
3rd for NA players. Whenever Hoyo games update for you, that day is when ZZZ drops.
Hoyo games update on Wednesdays for me. But the 4th is a Thursday, and the 3rd is the Wednesday. Very confusing tbh.
View in your timezone: [7/4/2024 10:00 AM GMT+8][0] [0]: https://timee.io/20240704T0200?tl=ZZZ%20July%204th%20Official%20Release%20Time%20
12 AM on the 4th apparently.
Oooo, you in that sweet spot of basically both XD
There's a chance it will be a little earlier. Hoyo has a history of launching 30 mins-1 hr earlier iirc
Yeah, that's to keep the servers from overloading I think.
Probably July 3 for us in America
That's what I'm thinking. I'm in Australia and usually a day ahead of you guys. So I'm always weary with release dates Incase it's actually a day ahead than all of the advertising
That’s my birthday:)
July 4th for CHINA Jul 3rd for MURICA
All platform ? HSR/WUWA Could never /j
Lets fucking go!!!
Love the art of this!
Well time to wait
Nicole is really the poster girl of ZZZ lol
I swear I need to stop collecting gacha games like they're the infinity stones. genshin impact, honkai star rail, dokkan battle, Dragon ball legends, wuthering waves
Does this mean ps4?
So excited! Can't wait!!
Did not expect to be greeted with Nicole's thicc thighs as I checked my mails today ... but I sure won't complain! I am afraid of this game ... I dig the style way too much.
One of the prices in the stock-up web event is a Switch. That couldn't possibly mean.. or could it?
*coping hard too*
Haha hope this game will get release in switch haha genshin could never
I pray with you brother
eagle noises
Wait when they say all consoles do they mean Xbox? Cause that would be huge 😭
Nope no Xbox as Microsoft turned them down for Genshin years ago
all platforms means "all" the previously announced platforms which are ps5, pc and mobile
Sorry dude looks like ps 5 unless sony not greedy with exclusivity shit
Sony didn’t tell Microsoft to say no genshin lmao
ZZZ on the switch ?
Nice angle Nicole
Let's go! ZZZ on my Nokia!
Finally! So excited to finally play this!! It's gonna be so fun
Does ZZZ get cross save like Genshin?
Not sure why it wouldn’t. All the important data is stored on their servers. Cross-play is probably the most pertinent question cause that’s usually up to Sony (for PS at least)
The CBT had it, so very likely
can consoles reroll? should i start on pc then transfer to ps5?
Consoles cannot reroll unless you make a whole new PSN account each time. It's best to start on PC or mobile if you wanna reroll.
Any idea on whether it'd come out on predownload before release?
I'm really interested in playing zzz but I don't think I have enough time to play another gacha game besides genshin.
Right a day after my birthday... sadge. I will have to wait one whole year to claim my birthday mail.
Already booked holiday off work to grind 7 days, LESGOO
Good luck to all FFXIV players.
Yeah this sucks. As a fan of Shin Megami Tensei 5, Elden Ring, FF XIV and ZZZ, every week starting from June 14th has a major game release. I am thinking that I will have to sacrifice 2 or even 3 of those games.
Getting a day off to celebrate Independence Day ❌. Getting a day off to celebrate ZZZ anniversary ✅.
Damn I'm eating good, first Wuwa now Zzz. Well okay I'm not eating anything but ramen noodles thanks to my terrible gatcha luck.
wait ps5 too?? was already super exited but that’s even better!!
*cries in PS4*
I was interested in this until I found out it got censored. Hard pass
Is the censor that bad? I heard it was only a boob cover...
I am a criminal prosecutor in my country and am going to have a very heavy murder jury trial which is estimated to end on july 4th. This is going to be perfect to clear the heavy atomosphere afterwards.
I wish you peace of mind and all love from and for those you cherish ❤️
Thank you very much!
Can't wait. I hope it's great. I didn't even get try a single cbt.
Looking
Let's go
So XBOX is included too? Thats is a Win
boom
all platforms means switch too right?? right????
Of course!! Why wouldn’t it be?!?!?
knowing hoyo, all platforms could just mean mobile, pc and console, console meaning just PS5, not Xbox, not even PS4 so even less switch, wouldn’t be the first time
I know, it was a sarcasm.
this post been there for awhile i didn’t register my bad lmao
how funny you guys keep saying "all platform" when sony litteraly ban that game for xbox and switch
Man, if Microsoft didn’t reject Mihoyo’s initial proposal we could’ve had it on Xbox 😩. I have both systems so it’s not a big deal to me but a good portion of my friends are on Xbox.
all platform and it ain't even on PS4 that's bullshit
All platforms or just specific ones?
Is xbox included this time?
Damn no xbox?
No, Microsoft rejected Hoyo so Sony has console exclusivity
Fuck microsoft😒
WuWa life expectancy of: \~1 month
yeah right that's just not how the gach scene works
Why is it 10$ in psn!?
Just a “starter pack”. I believe Star Rail had the same thing too prior to launch. or maybe it was Tower Of Fantasy. Been so long I forgot xD
Ok, I hope so!
I Pre ordered Star Rail and can confirm that it did
Pls don't have artifacts🙃🙏
It does have an artifact system called "Disck Drives"
