Zenless Zone Zero's Version 1.5 Update Introduces S-Rank Agent Reruns
Version 1.5 of Zenless Zone Zero marks a significant shift in the game's character release strategy. For the first time, players will have a chance to obtain previously released S-Rank agents, a feature long requested by the community. This departure from the game's previous focus on exclusively new agents mirrors the rerun banner systems prevalent in other HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact.
The update is divided into two phases. Phase 1, commencing January 22nd, features the new Ether agent, Astra Yao, alongside a rerun banner for Ellen Joe (originally from Version 1.1). This phase also includes the addition of Ellen Joe's Agent Story.
Phase 2, starting February 12th, introduces Evelyn Chevalier and a rerun banner for Qingyi (also from Version 1.1). Both rerun banners will also offer the respective characters' signature W-Engines.
Version 1.5 Agent Release Schedule:
Phase 1 (January 22nd - February 12th):
- Astra Yao (New)
- Ellen Joe (Rerun)
Phase 2 (February 12th - March 11th):
- Evelyn Chevalier (New)
- Qingyi (Rerun)
Beyond the agent reruns, Version 1.5 also delivers three new character outfits: "Chandelier" for Astra, "On Campus" for Ellen, and "Cunning Cutie" for Nicole. Notably, Nicole's "Cunning Cutie" outfit is obtainable for free through the Day of Brilliant Wishes event. This confirms recent leaks surrounding these outfits. The inclusion of rerun banners and new outfits promises a substantial content update for players.
