Zenless Zone Zero Leaks Hint at New Skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe

Recent leaks suggest upcoming skin additions for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe in Zenless Zone Zero. The 1.5 update, launching January 22nd, introduces new characters and content, but the leaked skins may arrive later.

Astra Yao, a highly anticipated character finally debuting in the 1.5 update alongside her bodyguard Evelyn (both S-Rank units), will be the focus of the update's main mission. Leaks, however, point towards an early skin for her.

Leaker Donutleaker showcased screenshots of an all-white, puff-sleeved dress skin for Astra Yao, a stark contrast to her usual attire. This early skin release is unusual, given her recent introduction. Further corroboration comes from leaker Palito, who independently confirmed skins for both Astra Yao and Ellen Joe within the 1.5 update data. This suggests potential future content for Ellen, possibly including her long-awaited Agent Story, which fans have eagerly awaited since launch.

Future Skin Releases?

While the leaked Astra Yao and Ellen Joe skins are plausible, their availability in Version 1.5 is doubtful. They are more likely teases for future updates. However, the 1.5 update is still highly anticipated, especially with confirmed plans for a Nicole Demara skin. Given Nicole's A-Rank status, this skin may be obtainable for free through a limited-time event.

Version 1.4 brought significant gameplay improvements, including character leveling and overworld exploration enhancements. With its imminent conclusion, developers have announced a livestream for the 1.5 update, promising details on Astra Yao and Evelyn's abilities, upcoming events, and more.
