Zenless Zone Zero's Version 1.5 is set to launch on January 22, introducing a wealth of new content and features that are sure to captivate players. This update brings the exciting addition of two new S-Rank agents: Astra Yao, an Ether Support character, and Evelyn Chevalier, a Fire Attack Agent. These agents will be available during Phase 1 and Phase 2, respectively, with Astra arriving first and Evelyn following on February 12.
Astra Yao, as an Ether Support, joins the ranks of the rare Ether-based agents alongside Nicole and Zhu Yuan. Her unique W-Engine, Elegant Vanity, will also be available for players to pull. Evelyn Chevalier, on the other hand, comes with her own W-Engine, Heartstring Nocturne, available for a limited time during her phase.
Beyond the new agents, Version 1.5 offers a fresh special story following the conclusion of the main narrative in Version 1.4. Players can look forward to the introduction of the S-Rank Bangboo unit Snap, new check-in events, and further game optimizations. The update also enhances existing activities and introduces new game modes, including the next Hollow Zero phase called Cleanse Calamity and a new Arcade game, Mach 25. Additionally, new costumes for Ellen, Nicole, and Astra Yao will be available, adding more customization options for players.
One of the most anticipated features in Version 1.5 is the introduction of banner reruns, a feature fans have been eagerly awaiting. Similar to other HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero will now allow players to pull for past S-Rank agents. Ellen Joe and her specific W-Engine will be available during the first phase, followed by Qingyi and her W-Engine in Phase 2.
With these updates, HoYoverse continues to keep the community engaged by delivering new characters, stories, and gameplay enhancements on a regular schedule. Zenless Zone Zero's Version 1.5 promises to be a significant update that will keep players coming back for more.
