I don’t know — and albeit, don’t wish to know — why the very first thing somebody did after a current Zenless Zone Zero replace was examine feline genitals, however because of this intrepid detective work, all of us need to stay with the information that the motion RPG’s cats have jiggly balls.
Zenless Zone Zero model 1.6 dropped on March 12, introducing a slew of adjustments to HoYoverse’s newest free-to-play recreation. And whereas gamers usually quibble over each little gameplay adjustment, one change that appears to be a unanimous hit with the neighborhood are the “enhancements to pedestrian habits in Lumina Sq. to make it extra dynamic and various.”
Amongst different issues, this implies the realm’s felines at the moment are capable of stroll round fairly than keep put in static areas, which gave one participant the right alternative to seize footage of a tomcat’s swinging testicles. The animation is delicate, particularly for a recreation as notoriously rife with jiggle physics as Zenless Zone Zero, however I’ve studied the footage and may affirm there’s positively motion impartial from the remainder of the cat’s physique.
Sadly, this replace isn’t all enjoyable and video games. Zenless Zone Zero model 1.6 additionally swapped out two voice actors after they refused to carry out in solidarity with the continuing SAG-AFTRA strike. HoYoverse is probably not one of many online game builders explicitly focused by the strike, but it surely additionally hasn’t signed onto an interim settlement guaranteeing voice actor protections in opposition to AI.
“I used to be changed as Soldier 11 as a result of I’m unwilling to carry out work not coated by a SAG Interim Settlement throughout a strike for AI safety, the result of which is able to decide the way forward for our business,” Soldier 11 voice actor Emeri Chase defined through Bluesky on March 11.
“Each single actor [is] prone to having their voice stolen from previous union work, previous non-union work, video content material creation, or interviews,” Chase instructed gamexplore the next day. “That is not a combat for truthful wages, it is a combat for bodily autonomy and the precise to our personal voices.”
