Last Friday, publisher HoYoverse announced that their free-to-play urban fantasy action title ‘Zenless Zone Zero’ will see its next update, Version 2.1, land across all platforms on the 16th of July. Dubbed “The Impending Crash of Waves”, summer-themed update introduces Season 2 Chapter 2 and introduces the Spook Shack faction alongside two new regions. Free outfits, two new agents and a Miyabi rerun, events, and more await players in ZZZ’s latest version update.
Have a gander below for more details on Zenless Zone Zero’s 2.1 update. The game is available on PC via HoYoPlay, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series consoles, iOS, and Android via Google Play—with Xbox Game Pass members seeing monthly bonus drops like those found in ‘Genshin Impact’.
In Version 2.1, Proxies can explore two exciting new additions: Sailume Bay and Fantasy Resort. Nestled beneath the cliffs of Failume Heights, Sailume Bay will become the central stage for Chapter 2’s story. Here, Porcelumex will launch a comprehensive safety investigation to resolve conflicts stemming from the chaos caused by the Exaltists.
The high-profile investigation team includes Alice Thymefield, descendant of the esteemed Thymefield family, who will later join the Spook Shack. Meanwhile, the summer story unfolds at Fantasy Resort, featuring sandy beaches, coconut trees swaying in the breeze, and a vibrant holiday atmosphere perfect for summer activities and mysterious stories.
Two remarkable allies from the Spook Shack will join the roster. Ukinami Yuzuha is a shrewd S-Rank Physical Support Agent who deploys her tanuki companion Kama to throw candy bombs at enemies, empowering on-field attackers to accumulate Anomaly Buildup more easily. Her signature Sweet Scare ability adapts to the active agent’s attribute via Flavor Match, significantly boosting the Anomaly Buildup efficiency while simultaneously triggering Aftershock attacks.
Alice Thymefield, the newest member of Spook Shack, is an S-Rank Physical Anomaly Agent. As a noble heiress, she utilizes her refined swordsmanship techniques to maneuver on the battlefield and accumulate Blade Etiquette. By consuming Blade Etiquette, Alice can unleash powerful strikes, amplifying Assault and Disorder damage. Meanwhile, Miss Esme, a graceful S-Rank Bangboo, soars alongside agents while generating beneficial effects that replenish Energy or HP. Additionally, the Void Hunter Miyabi (S-Rank Frost Anomaly) and Yanagi (S-Rank Electric Anomaly) will rerun on the Version 2.1 banners.
The once-pristine Fantasy Resort now stands as a fading paradise awaiting restoration, and Proxies will partner with the Spook Shack to revive the resort through a series of aquatic activities and attractions. Proxies can enjoy the thrills of surfing by navigating obstacles with power-ups, or board yachts and embark on exciting sea shooting challenges amidst scenic island tours.
New fishing spots await our experienced anglers, featuring fresh new species and optimized interactions with reduced grinding for a more relaxed yet diverse gameplay. Besides the summer activities, stylish outfits that fit the summer vibes will be available for Yuzuha, Alice, and the protagonists. In addition, a new Bangboo Auto Battler event, “En-Nah” Chess Legend, will be introduced with a PVP mode, and the Simulated Battle Trial will be refreshed with a new scoring system that rewards combat technique mastery for challenging combat enthusiasts.
Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.1 “The Impending Crash of Waves” launches on July 16 with optimizations to provide a smoother summer adventure. To show our appreciation for your continued support, Proxies can claim 1,600 Polychromes before Version 2.1 ends. Rated Teen by ESRB and PEGI 12, the game is available on PlayStation®5 Pro, PlayStation®5, Xbox, PC, iOS, and Android.
