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

Leaked Zenless Zone Zero content hints at new skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe. These leaks, surfacing ahead of the January 22nd 1.5 update, suggest an all-white dress skin for Astra Yao and additional content for Ellen Joe. The 1.5 update itself is slated to introduce new characters, including Evelyn, and may offer details regarding a potential skin release for Nicole.

While Astra Yao's in-game debut is highly anticipated following her reveal at The Game Awards 2024, the early appearance of a new skin is unusual. Images from the 1.5 beta, shared by leakers Donutleaker and Palito, depict Astra Yao in this new all-white attire, a significant departure from her usual style. This corroborates earlier speculation about new skins for both Astra Yao and Ellen Joe. The addition of Ellen's first Agent Story is also rumored for 1.5, addressing a long-standing fan request for more content focused on her and her connection to the shark Thiren.

Although the skins may not be immediately available in Version 1.5, serving more as a preview for future updates, the update promises significant additions. A skin for the A-Rank unit Nicole Demara is heavily rumored, potentially obtainable through a free, limited-time event.

Version 1.4 introduced various gameplay enhancements, including character leveling and overworld exploration improvements. With Version 1.4's conclusion approaching, the upcoming livestream for Version 1.5 promises details on Astra Yao and Evelyn's abilities, future events, and other additions to the RPG.
