Aug 3 2024, Singapore – Global interactive entertainment brand HoYoverse announced today that urban fantasy ARPG Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.1 “Undercover R&B” will arrive on August 14. It will feature the new challenges soon to be faced by New Eridu Public Security (N.E.P.S.) and the complex story between Qingyi, Jane, Seth, and the criminal syndicate known as the Mountain Lion Gang. Aside from updates to the story and new characters, Version 1.1 will also introduce the new Hollow Zero gameplay experience “Inferno Reap,” where players can jump into battle with Nineveh directly. Also, the New Eridu Public Security area at Lumina Square will be open to players. Furthermore, with various events such as Camellia Golden Week, abundant rewards are awaiting inquisitive Proxies.
Check out the Version 1.1 Teaser below! (ENG version)
In Version 1.1, Zhu Yuan, Qingyi, and Seth will utilize their talents to fight a battle of wits and courage with the Mountain Lion Gang. However, these criminals always manage to escape arrest with the help of the enigmatic Jane. By further immersing themselves in the world of Special Episode “Undercover R&B”, Proxies will be able to stroll around New Eridu, complete commissions as Jane, and uncover the intricate past between her and N.E.P.S..
As Proxies become more familiar with New Eridu Public Security (N.E.P.S.), Qingyi will be ready to join players’ squads. As an S-Rank Electric Stun character who can fit in a variety of different squads, Qingyi is skilled at inflicting Daze quickly to stun enemies. While Qingyi’s attack causes electric damage, she can build up “Flash Connect Voltage,” triggering a powerful attack once it reaches a certain level. Being Zhu Yuan’s trustworthy partner at N.E.P.S., Qingyi can also offer significant support to Zhu Yuan in combat.
Assuming a crucial role in Version 1.1’s storyline, Jane’s relationship with the player will be that of both friend and foe. As an S-Rank Physical Anomaly Agent, Jane can trigger “Passion State” by building up Passion Stream, unleashing rapid, multi-stage, and deadly attacks while quickly inflicting Attribute Anomaly on enemies. However, before she joins the players’ squads, Proxies will face Jane as an enemy in combat due to her status as an important member of the Mountain Lion Gang. You can certainly count on her agile combat skills, but you might not feel the same when you are on the receiving end.
Beyond two S-Rank characters, the A-Rank Electric Defense character Seth is also ready to join combat. Aside from buffing his teammates with a shield, Seth’s weapon can also transform into a large sword he uses to defeat enemies. In addition, new S-Rank Bangboo “Officer Cui” will be able to assist Proxies in the Hollows.
In addition to regular updates to Shiyu Defense, Zenless Zone Zero is introducing new gameplay “Inferno Reap” to Hollow Zero. After completing the “Withering Garden” stage and related commissions, Proxies can enter a time-limited battle with Nineveh. The challenge can be attempted as many times as possible. Successful challenges grant a wide range of in-game rewards.
In Version 1.1’s themed event “Camellia Golden Week”, Proxies can obtain Polychromes, A-level W-engine, and various materials by completing event commissions. Additionally, a variety of new in-game events and features such as Immersive Tactical Drill, First-Class Customer Service, and upgraded camera function with filters and selfie options will offer players fun new ways to enjoy the game!
With Version 1.1 arriving on August 14, players can further explore New Eridu in Zenless Zone Zero on PlayStation®5, PC, iOS, and Android. The game has been rated Teen by the ESRB and is also classified as PEGI 12.
