Chinese developer Hoyoverse (previously known as MiHoYo) on Sunday launched a countdown teaser website for Zenless Zone Zero, a new title set to be announced on May 13.
Following the success of Genshin Impact, Hoyoverse is setting its sights on the shooter genre and according multiple sources, upcoming title Zenless Zone Zero will be a ACGN (Anime Comic Game Novel) shooter game. The game will be similar to Hoyoverse's other titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd with open-world features and gacha game mechanics.

Here’s the message from the new official Zenless Zone Zero Twitter account:
"News Flash–

Clicking on the link takes you to a new site on which a TV can be seen playing static. Users can click on two knobs on the TV and depending on the position of the knobs, the TV either plays a radio message or a "breaking news" segment.
The "breaking new" segment talks of a "sub-Hollow" that has appeared in the city as public security have established a “level-2 control zone” and is currently evacuating the residents.
This is the ACGN themed shooter game that miHoYo is developing. https://t.co/p5bYNWcAtp

The game seems to be centered around a city that is affected by a sub-Hollow disaster. Players may be able to roam in this open-world and defeat the sub-hollow menace plaquing the city.
Hoyoverse has yet to reveal more details about the game and May 13 seems to be the day the developers will give us a glimpse into the gameplay and perhaps a launch trailer.
We will definitely update you about the game once as soon as HoYoverse officially reveals more about the game.
