A report from reliable community leaker Palitohas revealedsome important rewards launching duringZenless Zone Zero’s 2.0 update, potentially linked to the RPG’s first anniversary celebration. According to the leak, not only will players receive 1,600 Polychrome, but a free S-Rank Agent and S-Rank W-Engine as well. Additionally, the anniversary patch will feature two login events with 10 free Encrypted Master Tapes each. One of the events in question is the Boopon login event, which normally doesn’t offer this gacha currency. Version 2.0 is expected to launch in June 2025, along withZenless Zone Zero’s debut on Xbox consoles.

Zenless Zone Zero Leak Teases Free S-Rank Agent and More Anniversary Rewards

If the leak turns out to be true, aside from the free character, Version 2.0 would grant players up to 30 free pulls. Considering thatZenless Zone Zerois adding three new characters, these rewards could come in handy for fans. On the other hand, the leak doesn’t specify which S-Rank Agent will be gifted, but some players speculate that they could be from the standard banner. Similar toHonkai: Star Rail’s anniversary 5-star character selector,Zenless Zone Zeromight let players choose their preferred S-Rank unit from the six available in the permanent banner. Conversely, the game once gave away the limited S-Rank unit Asaba Harumasa for free, so there’s a chance for this to happen again.

Zenless Zone Zero’s anniversary patch is still over a month away, but players can still enjoy the content that Version 1.7 brought, like the new main story chapter focused on Lycaon, Hugo Vlad, and Vivian. The latter is also featured inZenless Zone Zero’s current banner, and the patch’s second half will mark Hugo Vlad’s playable debut.
