The gaming community is buzzing with excitement as a fresh leak reveals a stylish new skin for Yi Xuan, one of the most anticipated characters set to join Zenless Zone Zero in the upcoming Version 2.0. As the current patch cycle draws to a close with Version 1.7, players are already looking ahead to what many believe will be the game's most substantial update yet.
HoYoverse is currently putting the finishing touches on Zenless Zone Zero's Version 1.7, which will introduce two S-Rank Agents to the roster. The first half of the update will welcome Vivian, an Ether Anomaly character from the Mockingbird faction. Following her, the second phase will feature Hugo Vlad, an Ice Attack unit who has captured the hearts of fans since his first appearance in Version 1.5. I can't help but notice how the community has rallied behind Vlad - his character design is absolutely chef's kiss!
Yi Xuan: The Black Dress Reveal
While Version 1.7 has its own merits, it's Yi Xuan who has stolen the spotlight thanks to a recent leak from the reliable source Seele Leaks. Images shared online showcase what appears to be an alternate outfit for Yi Xuan - a stunning black dress with long sleeves, complemented by dark stockings and black boots. This elegant ensemble stands in stark contrast to her original yellow jacket and white boots combination.
Previous leaks have suggested that Yi Xuan will join the game as an S-Rank Ether-type unit, and this new skin leak further substantiates rumors of her playable debut in Version 2.0. It's worth noting that while most gacha games typically wait several patches before releasing alternate outfits for new characters, Zenless Zone Zero has been marching to the beat of its own drum. Remember how Astra Yao received her skin during her debut banner in the 1.5 update? Looks like HoYoverse is sticking to this refreshing approach!
Story Significance in Version 2.0
Yi Xuan isn't just another pretty face with a fancy wardrobe - she's been confirmed by HoYoverse to play a central role in Version 2.0's narrative. As the leader of the Yunkui Summit group that Wise and Belle will join in their next adventure, she's positioned to be a pivotal character moving forward.
Rumor has it that players won't have to wait until Version 2.0 to meet her, though. Sources suggest Yi Xuan might make her first in-game appearance in the upcoming 1.7 update, setting the stage for her full debut.
"The way HoYoverse is building up Yi Xuan's character, you just know she's gonna be a game-changer," one enthusiastic fan commented. And honestly? I couldn't agree more.
Version 2.0: A New Chapter Begins
Zenless Zone Zero's Version 2.0 is shaping up to be the game's most ambitious update since its launch. Scheduled for release in June 2025, the update coincides with the game's highly anticipated Xbox debut.
In a move that has Xbox players particularly excited, HoYoverse has confirmed that Game Pass Ultimate members will receive exclusive in-game rewards. The details of these bonuses remain under wraps, but speculation is running wild in the community.
What This Means for Players
The upcoming content roadmap represents a significant investment from HoYoverse in the long-term future of Zenless Zone Zero. With new characters, skins, story developments, and platform expansions all on the horizon, there's never been a better time to be part of this vibrant gaming community.
