miHoYo (HoYoverse) has released a new story trailer for Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) featuring the return of Evelyn Chevalier from ZZZ 1.5. The trailer showcases Evelyn undertaking various assignments, described as "generating spectacular shots," before receiving a seemingly problematic commission involving Astra Yao. The implication is that Evelyn failed to complete this task, as Astra is now a singer in the ZZZ world with Evelyn acting as her assistant.
Gameplay-wise, Evelyn is an S-rank Fire-attribute heroine specializing in attack. Her unique ability involves focusing on a primary target to draw enemy attacks, enabling extended attack chains during basic combat. When executing multi-stage or special attacks, she employs "Forbidden Bounds" to bind herself to this target.
Evelyn's skills generate Tribal Threads and Scorch Points, which fuel powerful fire-based abilities inflicting substantial damage. Her combat style is visually striking, as shown in the trailer where she dramatically removes her cape and uses it as a weapon against her opponents. Many players familiar with prior ZZZ leaks have already expressed their enthusiasm for this character.
