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, hint at potential future content for both characters. The highly anticipated 1.5 update, launching January 22nd, will introduce new characters like Evelyn, and may offer details regarding a possible skin for Nicole.
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 are S-Rank units, and the update's main mission is expected to center around Astra Yao. New leaks indicate these two popular characters may receive special developer attention.
Leaker Donutleaker shared in-game screenshots from the 1.5 beta, revealing an all-white dress skin for Astra Yao, a significant departure from her usual attire. The timing of this skin is curious, given her recent introduction. This leak is corroborated by Palito, who also reported skins for both Astra Yao and Ellen Joe within the 1.5 update data. Previous rumors suggested Version 1.5 would include Ellen's first Agent Story, addressing fan demand for more content featuring this launch character and her connection to the shark Thiren.
While the leaked skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe are promising, their availability in Version 1.5 is unlikely; they're more likely teases for future updates. However, the update is still highly anticipated, especially given the heavily rumored skin for Nicole Demara. As an A-Rank unit, Nicole's skin could potentially be free, perhaps obtainable through a limited-time event.
Version 1.4 introduced various gameplay improvements, including character leveling and overworld exploration enhancements. With Version 1.4 concluding soon, developers have confirmed the date for the Version 1.5 livestream. This broadcast will likely detail Astra Yao and Evelyn's abilities, upcoming events, and other additions to the RPG.
