Zenless Zone Zero's eagerly awaited Version 1.5 is set to launch on January 22, bringing a host of exciting updates to the game. Among the highlights are the introduction of two new S-Rank agents: Astra Yao, an Ether Support character, in Phase 1, and Evelyn Chevalier, a Fire Attack Agent, in Phase 2. Astra, who arrives with her unique W-Engine, Elegant Vanity, adds to the rare lineup of Ether-based agents, joining Nicole and Zhu Yuan. Meanwhile, Evelyn's arrival on February 12 with her W-Engine, Heartstring Nocturne, promises to enhance the gameplay experience further.
Version 1.5 isn't just about new agents; it also introduces a new special story following the conclusion of the main narrative in Version 1.4. Players can look forward to the S-Rank Bangboo unit Snap, along with new check-in events and game optimizations. The update also evolves existing activities, introducing a new Hollow Zero phase called Cleanse Calamity and an Arcade game named Mach 25. Additionally, fans can enjoy new costumes for Ellen, Nicole, and Astra Yao.
Responding to player feedback, Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 introduces banner reruns, a feature fans of HoYoverse's other titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail have enjoyed. Starting in the first phase, players can once again pull for Ellen Joe and her specific W-Engine, followed by Qingyi and her W-Engine in Phase 2.
With its consistent update schedule, HoYoverse ensures that Zenless Zone Zero remains engaging, offering players new characters, stories, and content to explore. Following the excitement of Version 1.4, which concluded several launch events and introduced Hoshimi Miyabi, the anticipation for Version 1.5 is palpable among the community.
