     Zenless Zone Zero's most divisive feature is now totally different

If there's one game I'm seriously excited about, it's Zenless Zone Zero. While I never quite 'got' Genshin Impact, I loved the sci-fi aesthetic and turn-based combat of Honkai Star Rail. Yet I've always wanted to see something a little more gritty from HoYoverse, something akin to the dark, dystopian cyberpunk aesthetics of Scarlet Nexus. ZZZ has all that and more, and as a result has piqued the interest of millions of pre-registered players. With the final closed beta test relegated to the history books, we ask producer Zhenyu Li what the team has changed post-CBT, and thankfully the answer includes Hollows.

     Killer Klowns player numbers stagnate on Steam two weeks after launch

The multiplayer graveyard is littered with tombstones to games that should've, but didn't, get an audience. Being a good game isn't all that's required anymore to hit the people you need to hit, with many brilliant titles falling by the wayside and being shut down before their time. I'm not saying that will be the case for Killer Klowns from Outer Space - it absolutely has the potential to turn it around - but two weeks after launch it's struggling to maintain its player numbers, at least on Steam.

black butler hiatus

Yana Toboso has stated that Black Butler will go on hiatus in July 2024. This is so that she can prepare for the series's climax. [Thanks, Crunchyroll!]

The official G Fantasy Twitter (X) account posted the announcement, stating that next month's volume will be the last one before the hiatus. There is no information as to when the manga will start up again. During the hiatus, G Fantasy will have "re-runs" of Black Butler in which each magazine until its return will have older chapters from the series.

In a picture of Sebastian and Ciel on G Fantasy's Twitter account, Toboso wrote that she wants to take a bit of a long break. Ever since she debuted as an artist and writer in 2004, she's been working for twenty years. She stated that the reason she could draw and write for this long without taking any extended breaks was because of everyone's kind words of support. She will take this opportunity to rest both her body and mind, and then prepare for Black Butler's climax. At the end of the message, she promises that she'll return at peak condition to continue the story.

Black Butler is an anime and manga series that came out in 2006. It takes place in Victorian-era London in which a boy named Ciel works as the Queen's Watchdog—essentially a royal detective—with the help of his demon butler Sebastian. There have been several adaptations since it debuted, including the ongoing Public School Arc, and Sebastian in particular is popular with female fans.

The Black Butler manga will go on hiatus in July 2024.
