Zenless Zone Zerohas confirmed its next special livestream focused on Version 2.1 will air on July 4. The update will add new playable units toZenless Zone Zero’s roster and is expected to pick up the story where Season 2: Chapter 1 ended.
As its most ambitious patch yet,Zenless Zone ZeroVersion 2.0 transported players to Waifei Peninsula and introduced them to new characters, combat mechanics, and more. The update also coincided withZenless Zone Zero’s first anniversary, which gifted players a ton of free pulls and a five-star character of their choice. In the latest main story quest, players collaborated with Yunkui Summit, a new faction that will play a large role throughout the 2.0 cycle. However, Season 2 is set to debut even more factions, and the developers have set the date to give players a look at what’s to come in Version 2.1.
Zenless Zone Zerohas revealed that Version 2.1 will be titled “The Impending Crash of Waves.” A special program diving into the update will go live on Friday, July 4, at 19:30 (UTC +8). The promotional illustration includesZenless Zone Zero’s Alice Thymefieldand Ukinami Yuzuha, two confirmed upcoming playable characters. The livestream will likely showcase their combat abilities and reveal new details about their unreleased faction, Spook Shack. According to HoYoverse, aside from new Version 2.1 content, the broadcast will also feature a “mysterious surprise” for players. Finally, like in previous special livestreams, fans will receive limited redeem codes for in-game items.
Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.1 Special Program Schedule
Chapter 1 of Season 2 left with a strong cliffhanger after revealing that the Exaltist Overseer has seemingly been revived by Sarah. The latter has also brought back Yixuan’s deceased sister, Yijiang, as an ethereal beast corrupted by miasma. Per her lore, Yixuan is one of thestrongest characters inZZZ, but her sister was equally powerful. Version 2.1 is expected to expand on the main story, so it will be interesting if Yijiang’s story could develop further. On the other hand, there are rumors that the upcoming update will add beach-themed explorable areas and new skins.
Zenless Zone ZeroVersion 2.1 is set to arrive around mid-July. The update’s special livestream will confirm its full character banners. In the meantime, players still have the chance to pull forZenless Zone Zero’s Ju Fufu, a Stun support that works well with DPS units like Yixuan, or Caesar King, another valuable support.
