Summary
- Zenless Zone Zero confirms the return of S-Rank agents like Ellen Joe and Qingyi in Version 1.5.
- The game has primarily introduced new agents until now, unlike Genshin Impact which features reruns.
- Version 1.5 will feature two phases: the first with Astra and Ellen Joe, and the second with Evelyn and Qingyi.
Zenless Zone Zero has announced the exciting return of previously released S-Rank agents in its upcoming Version 1.5 update, starting with Ellen Joe and Qingyi. Characters play a crucial role in HoYoverse's popular titles like Zenless Zone Zero, often available for limited periods to encourage players to invest in unlocking them.
While HoYoverse's other major titles, Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, regularly feature rerun banners, Zenless Zone Zero has, until now, focused solely on introducing new agents with each update. Fans had hoped that the much-anticipated Version 1.4 would introduce rerun banners, following the trend set by Genshin Impact, but those hopes were unmet. However, HoYoverse has now confirmed that Zenless Zone Zero will introduce rerun banners starting with Version 1.5.
This update is great news for players who missed out on earlier releases or have recently started playing. According to the Version 1.5 Special Program for Zenless Zone Zero, Phase 1 will commence on January 22, featuring the Ether agent Astra Yao alongside a rerun banner for Ellen Joe, who debuted in Version 1.1. Additionally, Ellen's Agent Story will be added during this update.
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 previous updates, Version 1.5 is divided into two phases, with the second phase starting on February 12. This phase will introduce Evelyn Chevalier and bring back the PubSec Agent, Qingyi, who was featured in the second half of Version 1.1. Both rerun banners will also include the characters' specific W-Engines, allowing players to fully equip them with their signature gear.
The Version 1.5 special program also addressed a recent rumor about new character outfits. HoYoverse confirmed the addition of three new outfits: "Chandelier" for Astra, "On Campus" for Ellen, and "Cunning Cutie" for Nicole. Notably, the "Cunning Cutie" outfit for Nicole will be available for free as part of the Day of Brilliant Wishes limited-time event.
