Zenless Zone Zero Fans Are Up In Arms Over Censorship

Zenless Zone Zero's second beta has kicked off, giving fans of Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail a look at what Mihoyo is cooking with its third big title. Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of them aren't too pleased with what they've seen, as it appears as though the developer has toned back some of the game's gore, character outfits, and more suggestive poses.

In the first beta, the game included a comic strip of a guy's face getting
