As the year draws to a close, many major titles are finalizing their last updates for 2025—and MiHoYo is no different, having now confirmed the December 30th launch date for Zenless Zone Zero’s Version 2.5.
You may recall our coverage last week during The Game Awards. In Version 2.5, Ye Shunguang makes her debut as ZZZ’s first dual-form Void Hunter, bringing unmatched versatility to combat.
She’s joined by Zhao, a charming yet fiercely powerful character with high-impact abilities that shine on the battlefield. Don’t forget to check our Zenless Zone Zero tier list to see where these two rank and who else might be worth investing in.

Fuel for the fire
Version 2.5 also brings new adventures on the Waifei Peninsula, where you’ll team up with Ye Shunguang to restore order after the Qingming Sword’s chaos.
You’ll also find a range of quality-of-life improvements designed to enhance your experience into the New Year. Anby, Ellen, and Burnice have received balance adjustments and buffs to elevate their performance. New and returning players can jump straight into Version 2.5’s events via the Advance Screening. Altogether, it’s the perfect moment to return to ZZZ.
