Zenless Zone Zero: Major Update January 22nd

Summary

Zenless Zone Zero's Version 1.5 arrives January 22nd, introducing new agents Astra and Evelyn, exciting new game modes, and performance optimizations. Astra Yao, an Ether Support agent, and Evelyn Chevalier, a Fire Attack agent, debut as S-Rank characters in Phases 1 and 2 respectively. Version 1.5 also boasts new story content, the S-Rank Bangboo unit Snap, rewarding check-in events, gameplay enhancements, returning character banners, and stylish new costumes.

Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 launches January 22nd, bringing players two new agents, Astra and Evelyn, alongside fresh game modes, optimizations, and more. HoYoverse's consistent updates keep the game vibrant with new characters and engaging content.

Version 1.4 marked a significant milestone, concluding several launch events and introducing the highly anticipated Hoshimi Miyabi. As Version 1.4 concludes, HoYoverse unveiled Version 1.5's exciting features during a dedicated livestream.

Version 1.5's highlight is undoubtedly the addition of two new S-Rank Agents. Astra Yao, an Ether Support agent (a rarity, joining only Nicole and Zhu Yuan), arrives in Phase 1, alongside her unique W-Engine, Elegant Vanity. Phase 2, starting February 12th, introduces Evelyn Chevalier, a Fire Attack Bodyguard, and her W-Engine, Heartstring Nocturne.

Beyond Astra and Evelyn, Version 1.5 offers a wealth of new content. A new special story expands the narrative following Version 1.4's conclusion. The S-Rank Bangboo unit, Snap, becomes available, alongside new check-in events, further game optimizations, and evolutions for existing activities. Players can experience the new Hollow Zero phase, "Cleanse Calamity," and enjoy the arcade game, "Mach 25." New costumes for Ellen, Nicole, and Astra Yao add a fresh look to the game.

A highly anticipated feature arrives in Version 1.5: banner reruns. Following the model of HoYoverse's other titles, Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, past S-Rank agents return. Phase 1 features Ellen Joe and her W-Engine, while Phase 2 introduces Qingyi and her W-Engine.
