The stream with the review of version 2.0 has ended "There in the clouds the dawn rises", which will not only begin a new season of the story, but will also bring major changes to the gameplay, interface and combat system. The large-scale update will be released in Zenless Zone Zero 6 June 2025 year and according to standard rules will be divided into two phases with different composition of banners, as well as temporary activities.
As part of the main storyline, the Proxies will arrive at the Waifei Peninsula, a new, expandable area with a reworked map and a video rental store-like location in the form of the Suibian Temple. Thanks to an "early reveal," Waifei Peninsula can be accessed immediately after completing Chapter 2, "Call from the Deep Caverns."
With mentor Yixuan, who helped the protagonists in the chapter "The past and tears will turn to dust", Weisz and Belle will begin to study martial arts to harness the power of purification from the ethereal contamination that has manifested. In addition to the main plot, the heroes will be able to get to know the student of the Tiren Tiger Ju Fufu better, and also go into the caverns for personal research and practice.
The new map implements a journey through caverns without an HDD: when visiting a dangerous area, you can create or change a squad and go to clean up and search for loot. The gameplay shown on the stream is similar to the classic gameplay with battles and solving puzzles in other games of the studio.
As for banners, in version 2.0, the Master of the Way and the student of the Yunkui Mountain School will receive personal signal searches, and along with them, the long-awaited reruns of high-class s will take place:
- The first half will begin with banners of a representative of a new specialty Pulhru (Intimidation, Physical).
- With the start of the second phase, the tigress banner will be launched Ben Bigger (Defense, Fire).
Along with the appearance of new heroes, their signatures will appear in "Amplification". But this will not be the end of it - for the specialty Rupture, three more accessible weapons of 4-3⭐ rarity will be added, one of which will be added to the range of rewards for BP.
The Banbu ranks are also expected to be replenished: S-rank Lioness will become available for knockout in "Excellent Partner".
Of the announced events on the Faylum plateau, only a part of the familiarization activities with the new mechanics will take place; you will also have to return to Sixth Street and Lumina Proxy Square in the version:
- Force of gravity — an event of t viewing of films with agents and NPCs, in which you need to make the right choices and manage to activate the right “clouds” of thoughts according to the timer.
- Steel Soul: Golden Bonds - combat activity with control and modernization of mechs with the help of mechanic Belobog Grace.
- Holographic offensive — rerun VR training with various power-ups, trial heroes and a ton of levels.
- Faylum Travel Guide — an activity for getting acquainted with new mechanics in a checklist format.
- Time is running out: Decades of Suibian Temple — a training event on temple management and renovation. To do this, Proxy will have to search or buy materials throughout the area, send Banba on business trips, and craft furniture.
- Annual Golden Proxy Awards Ceremony - probably an event to sum up personal results of the year on the anniversary.
- Combat Training and Special Clearance: Triple Rewards - classic events with an increased amount of resources for completing a dungeon, but this time in triple size.
Among other innovations, the developers announced a whole list of improvements to existing systems and several notable additions:
