Rumor: Zenless Zone Zero Leaks Tease New Skins for Astra Yao and Ellen

Summary

• Leaks suggest new skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe are coming to Zenless Zone Zero.
• Leaked images hint at an all-white dress skin for Astra Yao, and potential future content for Ellen Joe.
• The 1.5 update, arriving January 22nd, may introduce new characters like Evelyn, and details on a possible Nicole skin.

Recent Zenless Zone Zero leaks point towards new skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe in upcoming updates. The game's highly anticipated 1.5 update, launching January 22nd, will introduce two new playable characters and a wealth of new content.

While Astra Yao's in-game appearance was only recently revealed at The Game Awards 2024, she's been a highly anticipated character within the community for months. Version 1.5 will mark her playable debut alongside her mysterious bodyguard, Evelyn. Both will be S-Rank units, and the update's main mission is expected to center around Astra Yao's introduction. New leaks suggest both she and another popular original character may receive special attention from the developers.

Prominent leaker, Donutleaker, shared in-game screenshots from the 1.5 beta showing a new skin for Astra Yao—an all-white dress with puff sleeves, a significant departure from her usual attire. Given her recent introduction, the early release of a skin is unusual. This leak is corroborated by leaker Palito, who also reported skins for both Astra Yao and Ellen Joe within the 1.5 update data. Earlier rumors suggested Version 1.5 would also include Ellen's first Agent Story, a much-requested addition given her launch alongside the game but lack of dedicated quest.

Zenless Zone Zero Leaks Reveal Skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe

While the rumored skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe are exciting, they are unlikely to be available in Version 1.5 itself, possibly being teased for later updates. However, players can still anticipate the update, as a skin for Nicole is heavily rumored. As an A-Rank unit, Nicole's skin may be obtainable for free, potentially through a limited-time event.

Version 1.4 introduced significant gameplay improvements, including character leveling and overworld exploration enhancements. With Version 1.4 concluding soon, the developers have confirmed the date for the Version 1.5 special livestream. This livestream will detail Astra Yao and Evelyn's abilities, upcoming events, and other additions to the RPG.
