Rumor: Zenless Zone Zero Leaks Tease New Skins for Astra Yao and Ellen

Zenless Zone Zero Leaks Hint at New Skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe

Recent leaks suggest upcoming skin additions for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe in Zenless Zone Zero. The 1.5 update, launching January 22nd, introduces new characters and significant content, fueling speculation around these cosmetic additions.

Astra Yao, a highly anticipated character whose in-game debut was unveiled at The Game Awards 2024, is slated for a playable release in Version 1.5 alongside her bodyguard, Evelyn. Both will be S-Rank units, central to the update's main mission. Leaks indicate both Astra Yao and another popular initial character may receive special developer attention.

Leaker Donutleaker showcased in-game screenshots from the 1.5 beta, revealing an all-white, puff-sleeved dress skin for Astra Yao, a stark contrast to her usual attire. The timing of this skin, given her recent introduction, is intriguing. This leak corroborates information from leaker Palito, who also uncovered skin data for both Astra Yao and Ellen Joe within the 1.5 update files. Previous rumors suggested Version 1.5 would include Ellen's first Agent Story, addressing fan demand for more content featuring her and her connection to the shark Thiren.

While the skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe are rumored, their release in Version 1.5 is unlikely; instead, they may be teasers for future updates. However, the update is still highly anticipated, especially given strong indications that Nicole will receive a skin. As an A-Rank unit, Nicole's skin might be obtainable for free through a limited-time event.

Version 1.4 brought substantial gameplay improvements, including character leveling and overworld exploration enhancements. With Version 1.4 concluding soon, the developers have confirmed the date for the Version 1.5 livestream. This broadcast will likely detail Astra Yao and Evelyn's abilities, upcoming events, and other additions to the RPG.
