Zenless Zone Zero is moving into a big new chapter with its upcoming Version 2.0 update, and there’s already plenty to get excited about in this RPG. From the introduction of a whole new explorable region to a cast of upcoming characters, HoYoverse is laying the groundwork for the game’s second season in a way that feels like a true upgrade. If you’ve been following along since launch or you’re just now joining, this update looks set to shake things up across the board.

Scheduled for June 2025, Version 2.0 also marks the debut of Zenless Zone Zero on Xbox Series X|S. Between new agents, gameplay tweaks, and platform support, the next season is shaping up to be the game’s biggest update so far. Here’s a quick breakdown of what we know from the latest trailers, previews, and developer updates.

New Region: Waifei Peninsula Unlocked

The spotlight of Season 2 is a fresh area called the Waifei Peninsula. This urban region is tied closely to the new storyline and is rumored to be located near a dangerous Hollow zone known as the Lemnian Hollow. With Belle and Wise now donning new outfits that match their surroundings, it’s clear the narrative will take on a fresh tone here.

Waifei Peninsula brings more than just new scenery. It’s where players will meet Yi Xuan, a new Void Hunter agent who seems to be mentoring the Proxies in this new chapter. The location promises new missions, characters, and plenty of unknown dangers waiting to be uncovered.

New Agents in Season 2

Zenless Zone Zero’s second season preview introduced a lineup of new Agents, many of whom are still under wraps. While the full roster hasn’t been officially confirmed, a few names have surfaced thanks to previews and community leaks:

• Yi Xuan: A Void Hunter and key figure in the new arc.
• Ju Fufu: Another teased character with limited info so far.
• Pan Yin Hun: A panda Thiren with serious style.
• Zhao: A small but fierce fighter with a ponytail.
• Alice: Seen holding a torch—possibly tied to new mechanics.
• Seed: A heavily armored character who may bring high defense or mech-based attacks.

Orpheus and Ye Shuguang: Both shown in later scenes of the trailer, hinting at important roles in the plot.

Though not all are guaranteed to be playable in Version 2.0, many are likely to join the Agent roster across future patches in the season.

A New Story Arc Begins

This season’s story picks up with the phrase “Locked behind reflections of the past, truth glows under sunken ink.” It’s a teaser that hints at darker themes and buried secrets. Phaethon, a possible new antagonist or force, is mentioned as the source of a looming threat—this time, tied directly to the Proxies themselves.

Yi Xuan’s role as a mentor adds a new dynamic to the team. The tone appears more personal and mysterious, contrasting with earlier storylines that focused more on exploration and survival. This season could finally start answering long-standing questions about the Hollows and the nature of the calamity that reshaped the world.

Version 2.0 and Xbox Launch

The 2.0 update drops alongside Zenless Zone Zero’s official Xbox Series X|S release. Xbox players will get full 4K support at 60 FPS, HDR visuals, and Quick Resume functionality. Cross-save and cross-server progression means your progress will carry over, no matter where you play.

Zenless Zone Zero Season 2 is gearing up to bring new life to the game with a bold story, exciting Agents, and a fresh location to explore. Whether you’re excited about the Xbox launch or the next chapter in Waifei Peninsula, there’s a lot to look forward to when Version 2.0 lands this June.
