Zenless Zone Zero Leaks Hint at New Skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe, Plus More in Version 1.5
Recent leaks suggest upcoming cosmetic updates for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe in Zenless Zone Zero. The 1.5 update, launching January 22nd, is packed with new content, including two new playable characters and much more.
While Astra Yao's in-game debut was highly anticipated following her reveal at The Game Awards 2024, leaks point towards an early skin for the newly playable S-Rank character. Leaked in-game screenshots show Astra Yao in an all-white, puff-sleeved dress, a significant departure from her usual attire. This early skin release is somewhat unexpected, given her recent addition to the roster. This leak is corroborated by other sources indicating new skins for both Astra Yao and Ellen Joe within the 1.5 update data.
Another popular day-one character, Ellen Joe, may also receive a new skin, according to these leaks. The 1.5 update is also rumored to include Ellen's first Agent Story, addressing fan requests for more content featuring this character and her connection to the shark Thiren.
New Skins – A Glimpse into the Future?
While the leaked skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe are exciting, it's more likely they'll be revealed as teasers for future updates rather than immediately available in Version 1.5. However, the update is still highly anticipated, especially with the confirmed arrival of a skin for Nicole Demara. As an A-Rank unit, Nicole's skin may be obtainable through a free, limited-time event.
Version 1.4 brought significant gameplay improvements, including character leveling and overworld exploration enhancements. With Version 1.4 concluding soon, the official Version 1.5 livestream will provide further details on Astra Yao and Evelyn's abilities, upcoming events, and other additions to the RPG.
