New Skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Revealed in Zenless Zone Zero Leaks

Zenless Zone Zero Leaks Hint at New Skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe, Plus More in Version 1.5

Recent leaks suggest exciting additions to Zenless Zone Zero in the upcoming 1.5 update, including new skins for popular characters Astra Yao and Ellen Joe. The January 22nd update is also set to introduce two new playable characters and a wealth of fresh content.

Astra Yao, a highly anticipated character whose in-game appearance was first revealed at The Game Awards 2024, makes her playable debut in Version 1.5 alongside her bodyguard, Evelyn. Both will be S-Rank units, and the update's main story arc is expected to center around Astra Yao's introduction. Leaks point towards special attention being given to both Astra Yao and another established character in the form of new cosmetic options.

Leaked in-game screenshots from the 1.5 beta, shared by prominent leaker Donutleaker and corroborated by Palito, showcase a new skin for Astra Yao featuring an all-white dress with puff sleeves – a significant departure from her usual attire. The timing of this skin's introduction, so soon after her debut, is intriguing. These leaks also hint at a new skin for Ellen Joe. The 1.5 update may also include Ellen's first Agent Story, addressing a long-standing fan request for more content focused on this character.

While the new skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe are rumored, they are less likely to be immediately available in Version 1.5 and may instead be teased for future releases. However, the update is still highly anticipated, particularly due to the heavily rumored skin for Nicole Demara. As an A-Rank unit, Nicole's skin could potentially be obtainable for free via a limited-time event.

Version 1.4 brought significant gameplay improvements, including enhancements to character leveling and overworld exploration. With Version 1.4 concluding soon, developers have confirmed the date for the Version 1.5 livestream, promising details on Astra Yao and Evelyn's abilities, upcoming events, and other additions to the game.
