I’m having one of those weird days—distracted and kind of all over the place. Anyway, let’s talk about this big thing going down in New Eridu. Zenless Zone Zero, on its pretend anniversary (I mean, they’re early, right?), drops Version 2.0. And guess what? Xbox fans can finally join the party. They’re tossing out free S-Rank goodies and 1,600 Polychrome for some serious gacha action. Oh, and don’t forget the exclusive doodads for bragging rights.
Feels like just yesterday Zenless dropped, right? Actually, we’re not there yet—real date’s next month. But in typical HoYo fashion, they’ve got this whole pre-birthday thing going on. You have like 40 days to grab those perks. Not bad, eh?
The game’s this urban, sci-fantasy adventure. Belle and Wise run a retro video store, but really it’s more about guiding Agents through chaotic disaster zones called “Hollows.” Plot twist: you don’t play as them in battles, just in the city.
Now, Version 2.0’s big deal? Season two kicks off—new stories, mysteries and a couple of fresh Agents, Yixuan and Pan Yinhu. New class too, called Rupture Agent… whatever that means. Oh, and they host this new faction, Yunkui Summit. Sounds intense, right?
Backtracking a bit—Xbox folks, rejoice! Zenless is finally on Series consoles and Xbox Cloud Gaming. I think I forgot to mention this earlier. Anyway.
Oh, and the voice actor drama? Yeah, that’s still a thing. US-based actors in Zenless, Genshin Impact, and Honkai: Star Rail are striking. Some got replaced, they say it’s because of AI concerns, but HoYoverse? They’ve been tight-lipped, just mumbling about scheduling conflicts.
So, new characters, controversies, and gaming galore. Feels like there’s so much going on, but I’m just happy Xbox players are in on it now.
