Pre-release Broadcasts for 'Wuthering Waves' and 'Zenless Zone Zero' Spark Buzz Among Game Fans

In recent years, "pre-release broadcasts" (予告番組), which reveal information about new titles and major updates in a live-stream format, have become a trend in the gaming industry. On the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), discussions about these broadcasts, especially for the popular games Wuthering Waves and Zenless Zone Zero, have been particularly active, with many users eagerly anticipating the latest information.

First to grab attention was the recent pre-release broadcast for Wuthering Waves. Users expressed astonishment with comments like, "The PV is insane! Is this really the end next?!" Mixed reactions of anticipation and anxiety were seen regarding the content of the "Resonator's Final Chapter" and its subsequent developments. In particular, the new character "Jiyan" (仇遠) became a hot topic due to his cool motions, voice acting by Shinichiro Miki, and the unique setting of "drinking alcohol during combat." Attention also focused on "Calcharo," with some users posting impressions that he evoked a lineage reminiscent of DMC or Bayonetta.

The Wuthering Waves pre-release broadcast also revealed serial codes: "NOMATTERTHECOST," "RISKEVERYTHING," and "FIGHTFORHOPE." Many users who missed the broadcast were seen searching for this code information. Reports of users missing the broadcast due to being focused on work or other games were also frequent, highlighting the density of information and the high level of attention it commanded.

Meanwhile, it was announced that the Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.3 "Do You Still Dream?" pre-release broadcast would air on September 29 at 8:30 PM (JST). Official announcements were met with eager comments such as, "It's almost here! Ahhh, so busy, so busy." Some posts also mentioned a design change for the character "Lycaon," with comments suggesting the possibility that the developers are reflecting user feedback. The fact that the broadcast is being held on a "Monday" also drew attention, with reactions like "unusual" and "early this time," noting the deviation from the usual broadcast schedule.

Game fans are eagerly watching the future developments of both titles, anticipating Wuthering Waves' "new country" after the Resonator's Final Chapter, detailed information on new characters, and what will be revealed in Zenless Zone Zero's new version.

The Context

In the Japanese and global gaming markets, live-streamed "pre-release broadcasts" (often called "developer showcases" or "special programs" in English) have become a crucial marketing and community engagement tool. These events are eagerly awaited by fans, as they offer the first look at new game content, characters, storylines, and major updates directly from the developers. Social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) serve as real-time hubs for fan reactions, discussions, and speculation, amplifying the buzz around these announcements.

Wuthering Waves (鳴潮) is a highly anticipated open-world action RPG developed by Kuro Game, known for its stylish combat and rich world-building. Zenless Zone Zero is an urban fantasy action RPG from HoYoverse, the creators of the globally successful Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. Both games have garnered massive followings even before their full releases or major updates, making their pre-release broadcasts significant events for their respective communities. The specific codes and character details mentioned in the article are common elements of these broadcasts, designed to reward viewers and generate further engagement.
