Summary
- Zenless Zone Zero confirms the return of S-Rank agents Ellen Joe and Qingyi in Version 1.5.
- The game previously focused on introducing new agents, unlike Genshin Impact which frequently features reruns.
- Version 1.5 will be divided into two phases: Phase 1 with Astra and Ellen Joe, and Phase 2 with Evelyn and Qingyi.
Zenless Zone Zero has announced the return of previously released S-Rank agents in its upcoming Version 1.5 update, featuring Ellen Joe and Qingyi. Characters are central to the allure of HoYoverse's games, often available for limited periods to encourage players to use their resources or money to unlock them.
Unlike HoYoverse's other major titles, Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero has not yet implemented rerun banners, instead focusing on introducing new agents with each update. Many fans anticipated that the Version 1.4 update would introduce rerun banners, similar to Genshin Impact, but this did not occur. Now, HoYoverse has confirmed that rerun banners will be part of the next major update for Zenless Zone Zero.
With the launch of Version 1.5, players who missed out on earlier updates or have recently started playing will have the opportunity to obtain previously released agents. The Version 1.5 Special Program revealed that Phase 1 will commence on January 22, featuring the Ether agent Astra Yao and a rerun banner for Ellen Joe, originally introduced in Version 1.1. This update will also include Ellen's Agent Story.
Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 Agent Release Schedule
Phase 1 (January 22 - February 12)
- Astra Yao
- Ellen Joe (Rerun Banner)
Phase 2 (February 12 - March 11)
- Evelyn Chevalier
- Qingyi (Rerun Banner)
Similar to past updates, Version 1.5 will be divided into two phases, with the second phase starting on February 12. During Phase 2, Zenless Zone Zero will introduce Evelyn Chevalier and bring back the PubSec Agent Qingyi, who was available during the second half of Version 1.1. Both rerun banners will also include their specific W-Engines, allowing players to equip the characters with their signature gear.
The Version 1.5 special program also confirmed rumors about new character outfits. HoYoverse unveiled three new outfits that will be available in Version 1.5: "Chandelier" for Astra, "On Campus" for Ellen, and "Cunning Cutie" for Nicole. Notably, the Cunning Cutie outfit for Nicole will be offered for free as a reward during the Day of Brilliant Wishes limited-time event.
