1.5 Zenless Zone Zero Update Adds Characters, Costumes

HoYoVerse shared the 1.5 Special Program for Zenless Zone Zero today and, in addition to the release date and other regular reveals, it also went over the new Outfits that let you change costumes for playable characters. The update launches on January 22, 2025. The first three folks getting new looks are Astra Yao, Ellen Joe, and Nicole Demara. 

The 1.5 storyline will involve Stars of Lyra characters. It will focus on Astra’s New Year’s concert, which is why the S-Rank Agents Astra and Evelyn will both be joining as the two new Signal Search banners this patch. Astra’s signature S-Rank W-Engine will be Elegant Vanity, while Evelyn’s is Heartstring Nocturne. Two new Bangboo will show up too. This update will mark the first appearance of rerun banners in the game, with Ellen and Qingyi being the first two to return. The Godfinger Arcade will expand and offer a Mach 25 minigame. An Astra Special Episode, Ellen Agent Story, Endless Tower: The Last Stand, and events like Brilliant Overture, Eh-Nah into Your Lap, The Day of Brilliant Wishes, Elpis Ultimate Angler Championship, and Godfinger Ultimate Showdown also debut. 

As for the first three Zenless Zone Zero Outfits, the costumes for Astra, Ellen, and Nicole were already revealed and named. The Astra one is a black and white dress called Chandelier. Ellen’s is based on her school uniform and is called On Campus. Nicole’s casual look is called Cunning Cutie. Of those three, only Nicole’s will be free, as we’ll get to earn it as an event reward.
