Zenless Zone Zero Celebrates Its First Anniversary Once More with a New Story Chapter

Wow, where do I even start? So, picture this: Zenless Zone Zero has been on fire lately. Like, actual fire. They kicked off these crazy first-anniversary celebrations, launching on Xbox and throwing in a hefty 2.0 update as a bonus. This was almost a month ago, by the way.

But here’s the twist—or maybe it’s not: The true anniversary is July. Yeah, I know. But hey, who complains about a shiny new patch or a fresh storyline kicking in? Not me.

So today, which happens to be July 4 (happy fireworks day, I guess?), is when Zenless Zone Zero blows out the one-year candle for real. And you bet they’re celebrating. More patches! They just love patches. The latest one, 2.1, is called The Impending Crash of Waves. Confession time: sounds a bit dramatic, right? But it is what it is. This patch introduces a new faction, new places—like Spook Shack, Sailume Bay, and Fantasy Resort. Am I the only one who thinks the names sound like a dream? No? Just me?

Sailume Bay is where all the cool stuff happens, by the way. And Fantasy Resort? That’s where you’ll be sipping virtual cocktails, enjoying a summer event. Okay, maybe no cocktails, but you get the point.

Now, let’s chat about Agents, because updates mean Agents. Meet Ukinami Yuzuha. She’s got an S-Rank and throws candy bombs with this sidekick called Kama. Sweet and explosive, eh? Then you’ve got Alice Thymefield, also S-Rank, but she’s this swift swordmaster honing her skill by something whimsically named Blade Etiquette. She can quite literally power up her moves. Like, I need that kind of energy IRL.

Also coming with update 2.1? A new Bangboo. Say hello to Miss Esme. And if you’re into re-runs (and who isn’t?), old favorites like Void Hunter Miyabi and Yanagi are making a comeback.

Oh, and before you get lost in all these updates and characters, make sure you check out those Zenless Zone Zero July codes. Trust me, they’re worth it—keeps you ahead of the game.

And just like that, I’ve rambled through an epic anniversary adventure. I might have missed a detail or two, but hey, life’s all about the unexpected tangents, right?
