Hello, Proxies! Greetings from the Zenless Zone Zero dev team. I’m Zhenyu Li, the producer of Zenless Zone Zero. As our exploration of Waifei Peninsula deepens, the culminating chapter of Season 2 finally sheds light on long-buried secrets. I am excited to share that Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.5 “To Be Fuel for the Night” will arrive on December 30, bringing abundant content, optimizations, and rewards.
Unraveling the secrets hidden within the Hollow’s expansion
During past battles, the legendary Qingming Sword resonated strangely deep within the Lemnian Hollow, implying its primordial power has a profound connection to the Hollow. After borrowing this strength to overcome formidable foes, Ye Shunguang now faces the inevitable cost of wielding such extraordinary power. Meanwhile, mysterious white flowers — previously seen only within the Hollows — have begun blooming in Failume Heights, casting a foreboding shadow over the district.
Amid the rising tension, Zhao of the Krampus Compliance Authority arrives with alarming news: the Lemnian Hollow has expanded. Proxies will join Ye Shunguang and Zhao to venture into the ruins of the Lumite Mine to investigate anomalies, delve deeper into the conspiracy of the Exaltists, and face the ultimate battle in Waifei Peninsula.
Rise of Void Hunter Ye Shunguang
After forging countless cherished memories with Ye Shunguang and fighting alongside her to awaken Ye Shiyuan, Proxies will once again join forces with this young senior disciple of Yunkui Summit. As the game’s first dual-form Void Hunter, Ye Shunguang, an S-Rank Honed Edge Attack Agent, can unleash fluid strikes and explosive burst phases with the Qingming Sword, delivering intimidating attacks that can make a significant impact in intense battles.
A familiar Agent accompanying us on this adventure is Zhao. Despite her adorable appearance, Zhao holds the legacy of the unbeaten legend of Krampus Compliance Authority. As an S-Rank Ice Defense Agent, Zhao will bring immense power to the battlefield and provide crucial support to Ye Shunguang.
Enhanced experience with a multitude of events and optimizations
With rich events and ongoing optimizations, Version 2.5 brings enhanced game experiences and a more vibrant Proxy Outpost community feature. The long-awaited multiplayer combat is coming in the form of the limited-time event Joint Investigation: The Divine Maze. Players can form three-member squads to tackle cooperative challenges, putting their teamwork and coordination to the test in dynamic combat encounters.
In addition to upgrades to Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault, a new addition, the Proxy Outpost, will help to foster community interaction. Through the in-game forum, Proxies can create or join interest-based outposts to share passions, post commissions, and accept tasks. At the same time, a new quick-sweep function will be introduced to Combat Simulation, allowing players to use Ether Batteries to quickly obtain agent promotion materials and Drive Discs. Altogether, these free up time for relaxation and leisure in New Eridu.
The enhanced experience also extends to our valuable companions in the Hollows. To allow our previous Agent friends to better adapt to the harsher battlefield, we will gradually enhance all agents in the permanent Stable Channel in the near future. In Version 2.5, agents including Soldier 0 – Anby, Ellen, Soldier 11, Grace, and Burnice will be the first to receive refinements to their combat mechanics and performance boosts, marking the second wave of enhancements for Soldier 0 – Anby and Ellen.
Ring in the new year with exclusive rewards
To embrace the upcoming new year, Zenless Zone Zero is gearing up to welcome both new and returning Proxies. All players can dive directly into the intriguing story of Version 2.5 through the Advance Screening function, claim a free S-Rank Agent Zhao and agent promotion materials, and obtain Jane Doe’s new outfit through the Today’s Outfit section of the Store. In addition, to celebrate Zenless Zone Zero winning the Grand Award at the PlayStation Partner Awards 2025, an additional 1,000 Polychromes will be distributed as a token of appreciation for all Proxies’ support.
The expansion of the Lemnian Hollow and the emergence of the mysterious white flowers signal a pivotal moment in the story of New Eridu. With powerful new allies, adrenaline-fueled co-op combat, and community-driven features, Version 2.5 invites you to embark on this thrilling adventure with us. Thank you for your unwavering support. We look forward to sharing this new chapter with you on December 30, and wish you all the best in 2026!
