HoYoverse Unveils New Content for Zenless Zone Zero
Today, global entertainment company HoYoverse shared exciting news regarding the upcoming release of Zenless Zone Zero's Version 2.1 titled “The Impending Crash of Waves,” set to launch on July 16. This latest update, which brings a summer theme to the urban fantasy ARPG, will focus on Season 2 Chapter 2 and highlight the Spook Shack faction. Players can look forward to exploring two brand new regions, Sailume Bay and Fantasy Resort, filled with engaging events that promise to unveil the coastal mysteries hidden beneath the waves, creating an unforgettable summer adventure filled with friendship and exploration.
Exploring Sailume Bay and Fantasy Resort
In Version 2.1, players will have the chance to experience the diverse offerings of Sailume Bay and Fantasy Resort. Sailume Bay, situated under the cliffs of Failume Heights, serves as the primary setting for Chapter 2’s narrative. Here, Porcelumex will initiate a detailed safety investigation aimed at addressing issues caused by the Exaltists’ chaos. A prominent character in this investigation is Alice Thymefield, a descendant of the renowned Thymefield family, who will join the ranks of the Spook Shack. At the same time, Fantasy Resort comes to life with sandy beaches, swaying coconut trees, and a lively atmosphere ideal for both summer pastimes and intriguing mysteries.
New Playable Characters from Spook Shack
Two exciting new allies from the Spook Shack are set to enrich the gameplay experience. Ukinami Yuzuha, a clever S-Rank Physical Support Agent, collaborates with her tanuki companion Kama to launch candy bombs at foes. This unique ability helps on-field attackers build Anomaly Buildup more effectively. Her signature move, Sweet Scare, adjusts to match the active agent’s attributes through Flavor Match, amplifying Anomaly Buildup efficiency while executing Aftershock attacks.
Joining Yuzuha is Alice Thymefield, who brings her noble prowess to the battlefield as an S-Rank Physical Anomaly Agent. With her elegant swordsmanship, she adeptly navigates combat, earning Blade Etiquette points. These points can be utilized to deliver powerful blows, significantly enhancing Assault and Disorder damage. Meanwhile, Miss Esme, an elegant S-Rank Bangboo, aids her fellow agents by providing beneficial effects that replenish Energy or HP. Additionally, the return of popular characters such as the Void Hunter Miyabi (S-Rank Frost Anomaly) and Yanagi (S-Rank Electric Anomaly) is anticipated in the Version 2.1 character banners.
Reviving the Fantasy Resort
The once-vibrant Fantasy Resort is now a shadow of its former glory, and players will join forces with the Spook Shack to restore it through exciting aquatic activities. From surfing challenges that involve dodging obstacles to invigorating yacht adventures filled with sea shooting action, there’s no shortage of summer thrills. Anglers can also look forward to exploring new fishing spots, where freshly added species and streamlined interactions eliminate repetitive grinding, promoting a more enjoyable gameplay experience. To complement the summer theme, stylish summer outfits will be available for Yuzuha, Alice, and other main characters.
Furthermore, an innovative event titled “En-Nah” Chess Legend will offer a new Bangboo Auto Battler experience, featuring a Player versus Player mode. The recently modified Simulated Battle Trial will introduce a new scoring system designed to reward players for mastering combat techniques, appealing to those who enjoy more challenging gameplay.
