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. These leaks, circulating within the community, depict Astra Yao in a striking all-white dress, a significant departure from her usual attire. The inclusion of these skins, especially for the newly-introduced Astra Yao, is intriguing.
The upcoming Version 1.5 update, launching January 22nd, is packed with new content, including two new playable characters – Astra Yao and her bodyguard Evelyn – both S-Rank units. The main story mission is expected to center around Astra Yao's arrival. However, the leaked skins hint at further developer investment in these characters beyond their initial release.
Multiple sources corroborate the skin leaks. Donutleaker, a prominent leaker, shared in-game screenshots of Astra Yao's new white dress skin from the 1.5 beta. This is supported by Palito, another leaker, who independently confirmed skins for both Astra Yao and Ellen Joe within the update's data. These leaks coincide with earlier speculation suggesting the addition of Ellen's first Agent Story in Version 1.5, addressing a long-standing fan request for more content focused on her and the shark Thiren.
Future Release Likely
While the leaked skins are exciting, their immediate availability in Version 1.5 is unlikely. Instead, they may serve as a preview of future updates. However, Version 1.5 is still anticipated to include a new skin for Nicole Demara, an A-Rank unit. There's speculation this skin could be obtained through a free, limited-time event.
Version 1.4 introduced significant gameplay improvements, including character leveling and overworld exploration enhancements. With Version 1.4 concluding soon, the Version 1.5 livestream is highly anticipated. This livestream will likely detail Astra Yao and Evelyn's abilities, upcoming events, and other additions to the game.
