We’ll get one last Zenless Zone Zero update before 2025 ends, as the release date for patch 2.5 is December 30, 2025. It also turns out every player will get a free copy of the new Agent Zhao and 1,000 Polychromes as part of this final version of the year. Also, in addition to Ye Shunguang making her debut as a playable character, she’ll get a Touch of Dawnlight costume.
The Signal Search banners for Zenless Zone Zero will work a bit differently for this update. The ones starting when the update begins each feature the S-Rank new agents Ye Shunguang and Zhao. Those will be available for the whole of 2.5. The second is an Exclusive Rescreening banner. That begins on January 21, 2026, then runs to the end of the banner. Its three characters are Alice, Astra Yao, and Soldier 0 – Anby. The first 10-pull on it is 20% off, and the first of the three S-rank characters you get will be your “rank up” one.
Here’s the full “To Be Fuel for the Night” trailer for the Zenless Zone Zero patch that highlights what we can expect after the release of 2.5. It begins by teasing the new campaign mission with Ye Shunguang and Zhao. Then, we actually see Zhao in battle. That’s followed by footage of Shunguang fighting. At the 2:30 mark, we see teasers for banners, events, and additional elements for the update.
Here’s the full special program for the update, which goes over all the additions in more detail:
There’s also a Season 2 Retrospective to cover everything that happened in Zenless Zone Zero when Belle and Wise headed to Waifei this year.
Zenless Zone Zero is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices, and the release date for version 2.5 is December 30, 2025.
