The world of Zenless Zone Zero has a new focus, with the developers unveiling an exciting opportunity to delve deeper into the past of Astra Yao, the beloved singer and on-air support character. The creators at miHoYo (HoYoverse) continue to expand their universe, bringing fresh narratives and engaging content to the community.

A new animated short film centers on Astra Yao, showcasing her participation in a benefit concert dedicated to commemorating a catastrophic cavernous disaster. The film starts with a brief, somewhat uncomfortable exchange with a journalist, before transitioning into a poignant exploration of her past and the dramatic events that shaped her.

Astra Yao is prominently featured in the first character banner of Zenless Zone Zero's 1.5 update, while Evelyn Chevalier graces the second banner, offering players exciting new opportunities to enhance their teams.

The Zenless Zone Zero 1.5 update is now live, and true to form, miHoYo (HoYoverse) is generously distributing Polychromes to players. As part of their commitment to player satisfaction, 300 Polychromes are being awarded for bug fixes, and an additional 300 for technical enhancements related to the ZZZ 1.5 update. These rewards can be claimed directly from the in-game mail.

Agent Astra Yao (Air, Support) is introduced as a new S-rank agent. Beyond her talents as a singer, Astra Yao is a formidable support agent. Her abilities are geared towards restoring allies' HP and providing substantial damage boosts. When utilized effectively, her skills enable squad members to initiate attack chains and quick assists more frequently, delivering devastating blows to enemies.
