Recent leaks suggest upcoming skin additions for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe in Zenless Zone Zero. These leaks, surfacing ahead of the January 22nd Version 1.5 update, depict Astra Yao in a striking all-white dress with puff sleeves, a significant departure from her usual attire. The leaks also indicate potential new content for Ellen Joe, though specifics remain scarce.
The Version 1.5 update itself is packed with new content, including the highly anticipated arrival of Astra Yao and her bodyguard, Evelyn, as playable S-Rank units. The main storyline is expected to center around Astra Yao's introduction. The early release of a skin for Astra Yao, a newly introduced character, is unusual but adds intrigue to the upcoming update. Independent confirmation of these skin leaks comes from multiple sources within the Zenless Zone Zero community.
While the skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe are hinted at, their immediate availability in Version 1.5 remains uncertain. Instead, they may be teased as future additions. However, the update is anticipated to include a skin for Nicole Demara, an A-Rank unit, potentially obtainable through a free, limited-time event.
Version 1.4 introduced various gameplay enhancements, including character leveling and overworld exploration improvements. With Version 1.4 concluding soon, the developers have scheduled a special livestream for Version 1.5, promising details on Astra Yao and Evelyn's abilities, upcoming events, and other additions to the RPG. The livestream will offer further clarity on the rumored skin releases.
