Zenless Zone Zero Developer Expresses Interest in Switch 2 Release

Early last week, HoYoverse, the developers of games such as Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, released their newest game, Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ). While ZZZ has already proven to be a massive success with over 50 million downloads already between its launch platforms on mobile, PC, and the PlayStation 5, many users have wondered if the game could ever make its way to other platforms.

While the company hinted at a potential Nintendo Switch version of their previous game, Genshin Impact, back in 2020, no further mention of a Switch version for the game, or any future titles from HoYoverse have been made by HoYoverse, leaving many fans wondering if games from the company could come to a Nintendo console.

In a recent interview with Famitsu however, HoYoverse developer Li Zhenyu was asked if there was any possibility for a potential Nintendo Switch release for Zenless Zone Zero. Li replies that as a fan of Nintendo, he is open to a future release of the game on a Nintendo Switch successor, saying the following:

Question: Among the novelties previously distributed to the media were accessories for the Nintendo Switch. Are you considering offering them for other platforms, including next-generation consoles?
Li: “Currently our highest priority is increasing the quality regarding the platforms that we plan to work with. As we continue the development process, we think we will find the possibilities for this. Of course, there is an assumption it will be made into an excellent experience, and as a personal fan of Nintendo I will be very happy to see that become a reality.”

It should be noted that this statement is not an official indication of the game’s release on a Nintendo console. Only time will tell if HoYoverse games finally make their way onto a Nintendo Switch successor.
