Zenless Zone Zero Celebrates First Anniversary Again with New Story Chapter

Sure thing, let’s dive in—heads up, it might get a little tangled.

Alright, so Zenless Zone Zero—what a wild few weeks, huh? This game’s been heating up like, well, a pizza left in the oven a tad too long. So, about four weeks back, they threw this big shindig for their first birthday. Xbox got in on the party too, which was neat, plus the 2.0 update dropped. Honestly, it’s like they threw a surprise party before anyone even got their calendars out.

Now, here’s the thing—some folks might think the real anniversary was still on the horizon, not until July. But hey, no one’s whining about extra goodies, right? More story, more everything.

Time, man, it’s a slippery fish. And boom, July 4th hits, and guess what? It’s the real deal—Zenless Zone Zero’s official birthday bash. They’re back at it with another beefy patch. We got the scoop on update 2.1, but don’t get too excited yet—they’re making us wait till Wednesday, July 16. Impending Crash of Waves—sounds intense, doesn’t it? New faction, diving into new waters, literally. The Spook Shack crew seems kinda made for this whole aquatic thing. And Sailume Bay? Fantasy Resort? Bet they’re postcard-pretty.

Season 2, Chapter 2—kinda rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Sailume Bay’s gonna be the beating heart of this chapter, like the main stage at a music festival. And then Fantasy Resort is where the summer frolic takes over. Expect sunshine and, uh, chaos.

New characters? Oh yeah. Ukinami Yuzuha’s popping in as a Physical Support Agent. Picture this: candy bombs. Weird, but whatever works. Then there’s Alice Thymefield—a sword-wielding whiz, pulling off moves faster than my brain can follow. I mean, she’s got this Blade Etiquette thing, and it’s pretty slick when it powers up.

Ah, and there’s a new Bangboo on the scene too. Miss Esme rings a bell? And don’t forget Void Hunter Miyabi and Yanagi—both making a reappearance.

If you’ve missed out, no worries. Wouldn’t hurt to peek at those Zenless Zone Zero July codes, though. Always good to stay in the loop.
