Background

Zenless Zone Zero is set in the bustling city of New Eridu, a metropolis that has become the last bastion of humanity in a world ravaged by supernatural disasters. These calamities, known as "Hollows," are mysterious voids that spawn dangerous creatures known as "Ethereals."

In the game, you step into the role of a Proxy—an expert navigator of these dangerous Hollows. Your mission is to guide those who must venture inside for various reasons.

The Protagonists: Belle & Wise
