Zenless Zone Zero Marks Its First Anniversary (Again) with a New Story Chapter

The past month? A wild ride for Zenless Zone Zero, I tell you. I can’t even believe it started a year ago, and here we are. They made this splash on Xbox with a big ol’ 2.0 update, like, “Hey, we’re here!” — and folks jumped right in.

Oh, July, you rascal, turning up with the actual anniversary on the 4th. And bam! They hit us with another patch. It’s not out till July 16, so hold your excitement. This one’s named The Impending Crash of Waves, which sounds dramatic but also makes me think of a poorly planned beach day — don’t know why.

There’s this new gang called Spook Shack. Sounds like Halloween, right? But nope, they’re diving into watery themes. Sailume Bay and Fantasy Resort are your go-to spots now. A bit confused? Yeah, same here. Sailume’s where the drama unfolds, but if you want to relax, Fantasy Resort’s your gig.

New Agents? Oh, you bet. Ukinami Yuzuha, this S-Rank who’s got a pal named Kama that… tosses candy bombs. No, seriously. Then Alice Thymefield, swinging swords like nobody’s business — charging up her moves like she’s in a long-lost kung fu film.

And get this: a new Bangboo, Miss Esme, is rolling in, S-Rank style. Plus, a couple of old faves — Void Hunter Miyabi and Yanagi — they’re making a comeback. It’s like a reunion of sorts.

If you’re lagging with the game codes for July, catch up, or you’re missing out. Anyway, that’s the scoop. It’s been a year — feels like forever and a day somehow.
