Holy smokes, y’all! When HoYoverse dropped that Zenless Zone Zero trailer back in ’23, I straight up misplaced my marbles . Fast ahead to 2025, and I’m still obsessing over New Eridu like it’s my day job – which, let’s be actual, it basically is since I’ve watched that teaser 69420 times. The way that synth-heavy track slaps while cat-eared warriors slice by way of neon-lit alleys? Chef’s kiss! But man, the real tea is how this city’s "peaceful" facade hides pure madness behind the curtain. Buckle up, ’cause we’re diving deep into the Hollows!

⚔️ Proxy Life: More Than just Monster Mash

As a Proxy, I’m mainly a supernatural Uber driver . Clients wanna dive into Hollows for loot? My job: guide ’em, guard ’em, and try to not get etherealized. The duality kills me – sipping digital espresso in New Eridu’s cafes one minute, dodging glowy-green chook monsters the next! Speaking of which…

Final Thoughts: Hype Train Has No Brakes

Even after Genshin Impact delays, ZZZ’s siren track calls. Pc/mobile/PS5 release? Take my wallet! That trailer’s nonetheless racking up views like nobody’s business – 300K in 2023 felt bonkers, however now? We’re in the hundreds of thousands, baby! Yet… something’s missing. That fourth faction? The conspirators’ motives? It’s all smoke and mirrors, and actually? I stay for it. New Eridu ain’t just a city – it’s a vibe. See y’all in the Hollows!
