Zenless Zone Zero Leaks Hint at New Skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe
Recent leaks suggest upcoming skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe in Zenless Zone Zero. These leaks, showcasing an all-white dress for Astra Yao and hinting at future content for Ellen Joe, have generated significant excitement within the community.
The highly anticipated Version 1.5 update, launching January 22nd, will introduce two new characters – including the much-awaited Astra Yao and her bodyguard, Evelyn – alongside a wealth of new content. Astra Yao's in-game debut, first revealed at The Game Awards 2024, follows months of anticipation. Both Astra Yao and Evelyn will be S-Rank units, and the update's main story arc is expected to center around Astra Yao's introduction.
Data mined from the 1.5 beta, shared by leakers Donutleaker and Palito, points to new skins for both Astra Yao and Ellen Joe. Donutleaker's screenshots depict Astra Yao in a striking all-white puff-sleeved dress, a departure from her usual attire. The timing of this skin, given her recent introduction, is intriguing. Palito's corroborating report further strengthens the likelihood of these skin releases. Furthermore, speculation suggests Version 1.5 may include Ellen's first Agent Story, addressing a long-standing fan request for more content featuring this popular character.
While these skins are likely not immediately available in Version 1.5, serving more as a teaser for future updates, players can anticipate other cosmetic additions. A skin for Nicole Demara, an A-Rank unit, is strongly rumored, potentially obtainable through a free, limited-time event.
Version 1.4 introduced significant gameplay enhancements, including character leveling and overworld exploration improvements. With Version 1.4 concluding soon, the developers have confirmed a livestream for Version 1.5, promising details on Astra Yao and Evelyn's abilities, upcoming events, and other game additions.
