Zenless Zone Zero Update 2.7 Gets Release Date and Details

Today, HoYoverse fully revealed the next update for its action RPG Zenless Zone Zero, numbered 2.7.

The update, titled “Champions Never Fall to the Past,” will be released on March 24 and will focus on the Hollow Champion competition hosted by TOPS.

It’ll include two new characters: Cissia is an S-Rank Electric Attack agent and Nangong Yu is an S-Rank Ether Stun Agent.

To complete the roster, we’ll also see the return of S-Rank Ice Rupture Agent Yidhari and Electric Attack Agent Seed.

Here’s how Cissia’s mechanics are described.

“Cissia gains three stacks of Venom upon entering battle, with each stack of Venom dealing Electric damage while temporarily increasing her own CRIT Rate. Although Venom gradually dissipates over time, Cissia can generate additional stacks through her EX Special Attack. As the stacks accumulate, she may expend them with her Basic Attack: Serpent’s Kiss, unleashing bursts of damage at critical moments.”

We also get an explanation for Nangong Yu.

“Nangong Yu enhances her team’s Anomaly Buildup Rate against Stunned enemies. During combat, she automatically regenerates Downbeat over time, with additional Downbeat restored whenever a squad member inflicts Anomaly on enemies. Once sufficient Downbeat has been accumulated, she can unleash powerful charged attacks that extend the enemy’s Stun duration while accelerating her own Stun and Anomaly buildup, setting up the perfect stage for teammates to deliver powerful follow-up attacks. Her Ultimate can activate Ether Veil: Delusion Reprise, boosting the entire squad’s Attack.”

There will also be an event at the Simmer Hot Pot Restaurant at Lumina Square with a hot pot-themed activity that will require players to assist Blaze.

A special mission from HSOS 6 will also prompt players to complete a relay battle with three two-member squads.

The Simulated Battle Trial will also be updated with new enemy lineups and bonus mechanics.
