A fresh leak surrounding Zenless Zone Zero is stirring up anticipation among fans, with whispers of a new skin for the highly awaited character, Yi Xuan, set to make her appearance in Version 2.0. As Version 1.7 edges closer, it promises to cap off the existing patch cycle, introducing some exciting updates.
HoYoverse is gearing up to drop Version 1.7 of Zenless Zone Zero, bringing in two dynamic new S-Rank Agents. Fans will first encounter Vivian, an intriguing Ether Anomaly from the Mockingbird faction, followed by Hugo Vlad in the second phase. Hugo, an Ice Attack character, seems to have captured the fan community’s imagination more, with many eager to see what he brings to the table. Since their debut in Version 1.5, expectations surrounding Vivian and Vlad have only grown, especially after the exciting teaser trailer released by Zenless Zone Zero, which hints at other future characters. The buzz is also building up around Yi Xuan, who, according to a recent leak, will receive a special skin when she finally enters the game.
Well-known leaker Seele Leaks has hinted at a new look for Yi Xuan, who has been teased previously in the Season 2 trailer. According to the leak, Yi Xuan’s fresh appearance includes a sleek black dress, complemented by long sleeves, dark stockings, and matching boots. This attire stands in contrast to her original look featuring a yellow jacket and white boots. Earlier leaks had pegged Yi Xuan as an S-Rank Ether-type character, adding to the excitement.
If this skin leak holds true, it suggests Yi Xuan will indeed make her playable debut in Version 2.0. Contrary to the norm in gacha games, where skins are usually introduced several patches after a character’s debut, Zenless Zone Zero seems to be flipping the script by potentially releasing a skin with Yi Xuan’s first banner. This isn’t without precedent; players might recall Astra Yao receiving a skin during her debut in the 1.5 update. Additionally, HoYoverse has shared that Yi Xuan will play a pivotal role in the Version 2.0 storyline, as she leads the Yunkui Summit group in their next adventure, with her first in-game appearance rumored for the upcoming 1.7 update.
With Version 2.0 on the horizon, Zenless Zone Zero is primed for what could be its most substantial update yet. Scheduled for a June launch, this patch aligns with the game’s Xbox debut. Plus, there’s good news for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, as they can expect to reap some extra in-game rewards.
