Zenless Zone Zero Leaks Hint at New Skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe
Recent leaks suggest upcoming skin additions for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe in Zenless Zone Zero. While the 1.5 update, launching January 22nd, introduces new characters Evelyn and potentially a skin for Nicole, the leaked skins for Astra and Ellen are likely teased for future releases rather than immediate availability in 1.5.
Astra Yao, a highly anticipated character whose in-game debut was showcased at The Game Awards 2024, will be a playable S-Rank unit in Version 1.5. Leaks, primarily from Donutleaker and corroborated by Palito, depict an all-white, puff-sleeved dress skin for her, a stark contrast to her usual attire. The early introduction of a skin for a newly released character is unusual.
The leaks also point towards a new skin for Ellen Joe, another popular character whose Agent Story is rumored to be included in Version 1.5, addressing fan requests for more content related to her and the shark Thiren.
While the skins themselves may not be immediately obtainable in Version 1.5, the update is still significant. It will include the highly anticipated playable debut of Astra Yao and her bodyguard Evelyn (both S-Rank units), and potentially a free skin for the A-Rank unit Nicole Demara, possibly via a limited-time event. The 1.5 livestream will provide further details on character kits, upcoming events, and other additions to the game. Version 1.4 improvements to character leveling and overworld exploration will be further enhanced.
The upcoming 1.5 update promises a wealth of new content, including new characters and gameplay enhancements, even if the teased skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe remain just that – a tantalizing preview of things to come.
