Early leaks show thatZenless Zone Zero2.X will introduce exciting new characters and skins.Zenlesshas continued its rising popularity after a lackluster start. It may not be as big asGenshinwas at its peak, but it is still a massively successful gacha game. Some of the features that have helped it reach this level are its unique characters and fighting style, which make it stand out in an oversaturated market.
Zenlesscurrently has three unique skins: one for Astra Yao, Ellen Joe, and Nicole. The Nicole one was free to earn from an event, but the other two must be purchased in the store. This continued the style of whatGenshindoes, where skins for 4-Stars can usually be earned for a limited time, but the 5-Stars require a purchase. Still, it is a nice middle ground for a game that is free-to-play at its core.
Four New Skins Join Zenless Zone Zero
An Anniversary Event Not To Miss
Based on leaks from credible leakers Flying Flame and Seeleleaks (shared byNightThrillerandLuzekielon Reddit)Zenlesswill see four new skins for the game’s first anniversary. Three of them will be for the pre-existing characters Belle, Wise, and Miyabi. Miyabi alone is huge news, as herbest builds make her the strongest DPS unitin the game. The last skin is for a character expected somewhere in the early 2.X updates, the S-Rank agent Yi Xuan.
Zenless Zone Zero Protagonist: Should You Pick Belle Or Wise?
Should you pick Belle or Wise in Zenless Zone Zero? It’s much different from picking protagonists in other HoYoverse games, so take note.
Based on these leaks, it seemsthe Belle and Wise skins will be free for all players. They can be acquired by logging into the game anytime during the event period. However, as usual, the Miyabi and Yi Xuan skins will only be in the shop.
Belle and Wise will be receiving stylized school uniforms that fit the more “trendy” look the game strives for.
Though no images are yet available for the skins, some details have leaked about them. Belle and Wise will be receiving stylized school uniforms that fit the more “trendy” look the game strives for. However, Yi Xuan’s skin seems to be based on formal attire. Lastly,Miyabi will get a somewhat modified shrine maiden look that alters the visual effects of her abilities.
Who Is Yi Xuan?
Zenless Zone Zero’s Newest S-Rank
Unfortunately, little is known about Yi Xuan and what she does. What is known is her relation to Ju Fufu, a character who was introduced in the 1.6 update. They both come from the Yunkui Summit, a new faction that is expected to be introduced in the near future. As for her release,Yi Xuan will presumably be the main S-Rank of the 2.0 banners.
The Case For A Subscription Service In Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, & Zenless Zone Zero
How a new service model for the hit HoYoverse gacha games could solve many of the community issues, while still allowing for the profit to roll in.
This is a fair assumption, given HoYoverse’s track record. InGenshinandHSR,both locations that centered around 2.0 were Chinese-themed. This may be trickier in a game likeZenless,where areas are much smaller but not impossible. This means Yi Xuan could be the headliner for a new section of New Eridu that follows this Chinese theme.
Who Else To Expect In 2.0
A Plethora Of Options With Minimal Details
After1.7 introduces Hugo and Vivian, 2.X details remain largely in the realm of speculation.Xu Fufu is expected to be released alongside Yi Xuan, but she will only be an A-Rank agent. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing, as the more A-Rank agents are added, the more easily accessible characters players can have.
How Zenless Zone Zero Can Avoid Honkai: Star Rail’s Power Creep
With HoYoverse games like Honkai: Star Rail running into power creep issues, Zenless Zone Zero has the time and potential to avoid such problems.
The other group that has been known about for a while is the Virtual Idols. This is not their official name, but it is a group of three girls, one robotic and two human, that are all themed around virtual idols. Outside of some basic concept art, their individual stats are unknown. However, it is assumed that they will all be S-Rank agents, though there is a chance one may be an A-Rank.
Overall, these leaks about new characters and skins should excite fans about the future. For all the bumps it had,Zenlessseems to be on a spectacular rise,learning from itself and its sister games. However, it still has a long way to go if it wants to claim the spot as the most successful HoYoverse game, even if the avenue to do so is open. The new characters, skins, and content of 2.X could go a long way to helpZenless Zone Zeroexcel.
