The developer MiHoYo is said to have launched a hat trick of RPGs in less than four years.MiHoyo introduced Genshin Impact in 2020 and later released Honkai Star Rail. Both games are said to have gained popularity in the market. Fans speculate that Zenless Zone Zero might be the poised hat trick. 

Critics have expressed their skepticism over MiHoyo’s ability to spread out its audience across the three games. They highlighted that most players may have downloaded the game but were already engrossed in the developer’s first game, Geshin Impact. Others have stated that the developer may not actually care if some players are lost in one game, provided the money is directed toward the collective.
