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 due to this intrepid detective work, all of us must stay with the data that the motion RPG’s cats have jiggly balls.
Zenless Zone Zero model 1.6 dropped on March 12, introducing a slew of modifications to HoYoverse’s newest free-to-play recreation. And whereas gamers typically 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 numerous.”
Amongst different issues, this implies the world’s felines at the moment are in a position to stroll round somewhat than keep put in static places, which gave one participant the proper alternative to seize footage of a tomcat’s swinging testicles. The animation is refined, particularly for a recreation as notoriously rife with jiggle physics as Zenless Zone Zero, however I’ve studied the footage and might verify 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 making certain voice actor protections towards AI.
“I used to be changed as Soldier 11 as a result of I’m unwilling to carry out work not lined by a SAG Interim Settlement throughout a strike for AI safety, the end result of which can decide the way forward for our trade,” Soldier 11 voice actor Emeri Chase defined by way of Bluesky on March 11.
“Each single actor [is] vulnerable to having their voice stolen from previous union work, previous non-union work, video content material creation, or interviews,” Chase advised gamerlifemedia the next day. “That is not a battle for honest wages, it is a battle for bodily autonomy and the suitable to our personal voices.”
