January 22 is Going to Be a Big Day for Zenless Zone Zero

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 improvements, returning character banners, and fresh character costumes.

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

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

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

Beyond Astra and Evelyn, Version 1.5 offers a wealth of new content. A new special story expands on the narrative concluded in Version 1.4. The S-Rank Bangboo unit, Snap, becomes available, alongside new check-in events, further game optimizations, and enhancements to existing activities. Players can tackle the new Hollow Zero phase, "Cleanse Calamity," enjoy the new Arcade game, "Mach 25," and acquire new costumes for Ellen, Nicole, and Astra Yao.

A highly anticipated feature finally arrives in Version 1.5: banner reruns. Mirroring 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.
