Rumor: Zenless Zone Zero Leaks Tease New Skins for Astra Yao and Ellen

Summary

• Leaks suggest new skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe are coming to Zenless Zone Zero.
• Leaked images hint at an all-white dress skin for Astra Yao, and further content for Ellen Joe.
• The 1.5 update, launching January 22nd, may introduce new characters like Evelyn, and details on a potential Nicole skin.

Recent Zenless Zone Zero leaks point towards new skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe in upcoming updates. The game's highly anticipated 1.5 update, arriving January 22nd, introduces two new characters and a wealth of content.

While Astra Yao's in-game appearance was only recently revealed at The Game Awards 2024, she's been a highly anticipated character since the game's early days. Version 1.5 marks her playable debut, alongside her bodyguard, Evelyn. Both will be S-Rank units, and the update's main mission is expected to center around Astra Yao. Recent leaks, however, suggest even more special treatment for her and another popular character.

Leaker Donutleaker shared in-game screenshots from the 1.5 beta showing a new skin for Astra Yao—an all-white dress with puff sleeves, a significant departure from her usual attire. This early skin release is surprising, given her recent introduction. This leak is corroborated by leaker Palito, who also reported skins for both Astra Yao and Ellen Joe within the 1.5 update data. Earlier rumors suggested Version 1.5 would include Ellen's first Agent Story, addressing a long-standing fan request for more content focused on her and her shark, Thiren.

Zenless Zone Zero Leaks Reveal Skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe

While the rumored skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe are exciting, they're unlikely to be immediately available in Version 1.5, potentially serving as teases for future updates. However, the update is still highly anticipated, especially with heavily reported plans for a new skin for Nicole. As an A-Rank unit, Nicole's skin may be obtainable for free, possibly through a limited-time event.

Version 1.4 brought significant gameplay improvements, including character leveling and overworld exploration enhancements. With Version 1.4 concluding soon, the developers have confirmed the date for the Version 1.5 livestream. This broadcast will detail Astra Yao and Evelyn's abilities, upcoming events, and other additions to the RPG.
