HoYoverse has released the latest content update for their action role-playing game Zenless Zone Zero. Version 2.2 “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” will launch on September 4th with the usual main story update and S-Rank character drops.
After thwarting the Exaltists’ conspiracy previously, the Defense Force dispatches the Obol Squad to join the conflict, introducing the new agents SEED and Orphie & Magus. With trustworthy allies and various in-game events, Proxies will get to delve deeper into the power struggles in New Eridu and uncover the past of the familiar yet fresh faction, the Obol Squad.
The Defense Force’s intervention — spearheaded by Major General Lorenz and commanded by Colonel Isolde — throws Waifei Peninsula’s power struggles into even more turbulent waters. Beyond eliminating the Exaltists’ remnants, the Obol Squad will also uncover long-buried truths and reveal the hidden stories behind team member Seed’s mysterious past and inner world.
S-Rank Electric Attack Agent SEED will arrive in Phase 1. As a genius mechanic, SEED has transformed the SEED Sr. mecha into a formidable partner with overwhelming firepower and suppression capabilities. She excels in synergizing with other Attack agents to enhance the team’s sustained damage output.
Orphie & Magus, the S-Rank Fire Attack Agent and Obol Squad’s captain, excels in coordinated team combat using powerful lasers. Through EX Special Attack that assists allies, Orphie can accumulate Bottled Heat, and place all squad members into the Zeroed In state upon hitting enemies, boosting Attack and allowing Aftershocks to ignore a portion of the enemy’s Defense.
Joining the stellar lineup is Mercury, the outstanding S-Rank Bangboo who operates a tank as combat support on the battlefield. S-Rank Electric Stun Agent Trigger and S-Rank Fire Attack Agent Evelyn will also rerun in Version 2.2 in that respective order. Additionally, Soldier 0 – Anby is currently undergoing intensive training, and Proxies can expect her to return even stronger with her activated potential in future versions.
As for events, the Bangboo tower defense event Band of Brave Bangboo will come with new maps, enemies, and mechanics, including bushes and Miasmic environment. Successfully clearing stages will reward Proxies with the A-Rank Excaliboo.
Not only that, the official Zenless Zone Zero social media accounts has also released the drip marketing for their next batch of characters from the Spook Shack faction — Fire Rupture Agent Komano Manato, and Ether Support Agent Lucia. Both characters are rumoured to be available in the Version 2.3 update and appear in the Version 2.2 main story.
Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.2 arrives on September 4th, 2025 across all platforms.
