Hello,
this - Zenless Zone Zero, abbreviated as ZZZ - is the new real-time/action (J-)RPG by the creators (Hoyolab) of Genshin Impact and Honkai : Star Rail,
it is set in an urban environment and has very different themes compared to Genshin and Star Rail - namely music - , meanwhile a certain antagonistic element remains the same : The corruption of the world, in ZZZ in the form of black holes called "hollows" - translated into German as "Höhlen", and the enemies created by them. The way how these black holes appear within this setting can be seen through this video :

One of the few things I understood so far is that there appear to be several factions, and all of them have so-called "Agents", which explore these "hollows".
It has its own Title Song, too :

It's release day is July, 4th.
One should keep in mind that this appears to be another game by Hoyolab with gacha.
I expect this game the most advanced of its creators by now - regarding the engine and its game play.
Star Rail kind of "fixed" a few mistakes the makers had done with Genshin. For example, it added "historical events", meaning that story-heavy events one had missed in the past could be replayed.
I expect ZZZ to kind of "fix" some elements of the gameplay of older games by Hoyolab, too.
Star Rail is turn-based (with optional "automatic combat" for battles consuming too much time (only story boss battles are excluded from this mechanic), whereas Genshin is real-time / action.
The Watch has its announcement here : https://rpgwatch.com/forum/threads/zenless-zone-zero-announced.50186/ and has the day of "May, 22".
The official web site is there : https://zenless.hoyoverse.com/en-us/ , a click on the "home" symbol in the upper right corner leads to the original game's web site where you can find more information about the setting itself.
Since I never participated in the beta test program, I really do not know much about this game. The "Special Program" should tell much more than I know at this moment.
The game's initial live stream - which they call "Special Program" - was announced here : https://www.hoyolab.com/article/30103550
An official summary of it can be found here : https://www.hoyolab.com/article/30384345

An initial schedule for conventions and fairs can be found here : https://www.hoyolab.com/article/30226388
An initial schedule for special offline town events can be found here : https://www.hoyolab.com/article/30192620
Those who want to try it out from July 4th on should take a look at the "Stocking Up" web "event" draw, by which one can get materials in advance to the game. Please note that, like with most games by Hoyolab, "A" is better than "B", which is better than "C" etc. etc. ... As far as I understood it, one should keep the "A" motors and the "Boopons". A "Boopon" is kind of Coupon with which cóne can get a Bamboo" a kind of obot hireling in hare/rabbit form. Its main language is "Mhne".
P.S. : As usual with games from Hoyolab, there's a "coupon code" for in-game use as well : ZZZFREE100
That's what I know about it so far.
