Summary

• Zenless Zone Zero confirms the return of S-Rank agents Ellen Joe and Qingyi in Version 1.5.
• The game previously focused on introducing new agents rather than reruns, unlike Genshin Impact.
• Version 1.5 will feature two phases: Astra and Ellen Joe in the first, followed by Evelyn and Qingyi in the second.

Zenless Zone Zero has officially announced that it will bring back previously released S-Rank agents in Version 1.5, starting with Ellen Joe and Qingyi. Characters are a crucial element in HoYoverse's popular titles like Zenless Zone Zero, and their limited availability encourages players to spend money or in-game resources to acquire them.

Unlike other HoYoverse flagship games such as Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero has not introduced rerun banners until now, focusing instead on adding new agents with each update. Fans had hoped that the eagerly awaited Version 1.4 update would introduce rerun banners, similar to Genshin Impact, but this did not occur. However, HoYoverse has now confirmed that Zenless Zone Zero will introduce rerun banners in the upcoming Version 1.5 update.

Starting with Version 1.5, Zenless Zone Zero players who missed earlier opportunities or have recently started playing will have the chance to pull for previously released agents. The Version 1.5 Special Program revealed that Phase 1, beginning on January 22, will feature the Ether agent Astra Yao alongside a special rerun banner for Ellen Joe, who was originally introduced in Version 1.1. Additionally, Ellen's Agent Story will be added in this update.

Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 Agent Release Schedule

Phase 1 (January 22 - February 12)

• Astra Yao
• Ellen Joe (Rerun Banner)

Phase 2 (February 12 - March 11)

• Evelyn Chevalier
• Qingyi (Rerun Banner)

Similar to previous updates, Version 1.5 will be divided into two phases, with the second phase starting on February 12. During Phase 2, Zenless Zone Zero will introduce Evelyn Chevalier, and bring back the PubSec Agent, Qingyi, for those who missed her during the second half of Version 1.1. Both rerun banners will also reintroduce their specific W-Engines, allowing players to fully equip each character with their signature gear.

The Version 1.5 special program also confirmed a recent rumor about new character outfits. HoYoverse revealed that three new outfits will be available with Version 1.5, including "Chandelier" for Astra, "On Campus" for Ellen, and "Cunning Cutie" for Nicole. Notably, the "Cunning Cutie" outfit for Nicole will be available for free as a reward from the Day of Brilliant Wishes limited-time event.
