Zenless Zone Zero “A Sleepwalker’s Confession” will officially launch on June 17, 2026. Marking the start of Season 3, the mysterious sky island of Roscaelifer will open its doors for the first time.
S-Rank Wind attribute Anomaly Agent Velina and S-Rank Fire attribute Stun Agent Norma will debut consecutively, while the Phaethon faction Agent Pyrois and 1,600 Polychromes will be gifted to all Proxies as special Season 3 launch rewards.
In the coming versions, all of Pyrois’ Mindscapes and their exclusive W-Engine will also be gifted for free. Proxies will additionally receive a total of 1,600 Polychromes: 600 available upon logging in on the version launch day, and the remaining 1,000 on July 4 — the second anniversary of Zenless Zone Zero’s official launch.
Additionally, Zenless Zone Zero will officially launch on Steam on June 17, with cross-platform data sharing supported.
New Agent: Wind Anomaly Agent Velina
As the Administrative Director of the ESD, S-Rank Wind-attribute Anomaly Agent Velina is the first Wind attribute Agent in Zenless Zone Zero. She can accumulate Wind Anomaly buildup on enemies, causing them to enter the Windswept state.
When Windswept and another Attribute Anomaly are simultaneously applied to a target, a unique Vortex effect is triggered, dealing AoE damage of the other corresponding attribute to surrounding enemies. When the team includes two or more Anomaly Agents or Agents of the same attribute, Velina’s Windswept and Vortex damage will significantly increase. As more Agents join in future versions, her potential will continue to expand.
New Agent: Fire Stun Agent Norma
S-Rank Fire attribute Stun Agent Norma is the ESD’s Chief Technician and a core member of the Marcel Group’s technological center. Her combat mechanic revolves around her signature hat, which continuously accumulates Preheated Chamber regardless of whether Norma is on or off the field.
With sufficient resources, she can convert teammates’ Quick Assists into Chain Attacks, creating additional Chain Attack opportunities for the entire squad. Agent Ye Shunguang and Sunna will also return alongside their respective exclusive W-Engines.
New Permanent Gameplay Mode
Version 3.0 introduces the new permanent gameplay mode “Bangbang! The Genius and the Miracle Chip,” in which Proxies can nurture and command Collaboorator squads to repair the Central Computing Hub and complete chip research missions.
Annihilation Simulacrum launches as a new permanent battle mode centered on high-difficulty Boss challenges with no elemental weaknesses or resistances, placing full emphasis on mechanical understanding and precise execution.
A series of limited-time events will also open subsequently — completing these events yields a Tuning Calibrator, W-Engine, Polychromes, title, and other rewards, along with new Drive Disc sets. Velina’s limited outfit Shade of Leisure will also go on sale following the version update.
New Drive Disc Smart Discard & Protagonist Customisation
For system optimizations, Version 3.0 introduces the Drive Disc Smart discard function that enables batch processing of unwanted Drive Discs in a single action, significantly improving inventory management efficiency. The Drive Disc Tuning interface will now prioritize compatible sets from active training plans.
Starting from Version 3.0, protagonist outfit accessories — headwear, hair accessories, earrings, and glasses — will be separated into universal items freely mixable across all outfits.
