HoYoverse has confirmed the start date for the Zenless Zone Zero Equalizing Test, the closed beta announced last week: Fans will be able to dive into New Eridu on November 24, 2023, at 11am UTC+8 – you can check the list below to see what that means for your time zone.

Zenless Zone Zero has been confirmed to arrive on PC, mobile devices, and consoles, though there are no details on which platforms will be included in the latter category just yet. Our own first impression of Zenless Zone Zero from gamescom 2023 was thoroughly positive, but was gained on a build that’s at least one year outdated, meaning the upcoming beta will likely be a very new experience for anyone who’s had the chance to try the game out at some point.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Zenless Zone Zero Equalizing Test start times.

Zenless Zone Zero Equalizing Test: what to expect

HoYoverse stated this closed test will contain “a series of changes and content updates that include new stories and explorable areas, more playable characters, re-designed combat mechanics, as well as a thoroughly overhauled city with new, immersive urban gameplay. [...] In the upcoming closed beta, the city of New Eridu will be further revamped with a full-scale visual update based on the previous beta. The game’s track list will also be more modern, vibrant, and groovy. In addition, three new characters, each with their unique background and charm, will be coming to New Eridu to team up with players.”

Combat animations and some battle mechanics have been changed up as well. There will be a brand-new Perfect Assist mechanic, which HoYoverse says will make the game more friendly for beginners. “At the same time, it introduces a newly developed challenge mode – Hollow Zero, which not only serves as a significant setting in the story but also is sure to meet the expectations of veteran action game players in terms of combat experience,” the description of the upcoming test continued.
