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. While the 1.5 update, launching January 22nd, introduces new characters Evelyn and potentially hints at Nicole's skin release, the leaked skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe are likely slated for future updates.
Astra Yao, whose in-game debut was highly anticipated, finally arrives as a playable S-Rank unit in Version 1.5, alongside her bodyguard Evelyn. The main mission is expected to center around her introduction. However, leaks from reputable sources like Donutleaker and Palito reveal in-game assets depicting a new, all-white puff-sleeved dress skin for Astra Yao, a stark contrast to her usual attire. The early release of a skin for a newly introduced character is unusual. These leaks also point to a new skin for the popular launch character, Ellen Joe. The inclusion of Ellen's first Agent Story in Version 1.5 was also previously rumored.


While the skins may not be immediately available in Version 1.5, the update itself promises significant content. The much-anticipated skin for A-Rank unit Nicole Demara is a strong possibility, potentially obtainable through a free, limited-time event. Version 1.5's livestream will offer further details on Astra Yao and Evelyn's abilities, upcoming events, and other additions to the game. Version 1.4's improvements to character leveling and exploration are also paving the way for a richer gameplay experience.
In short: New skins for Astra Yao (all-white dress) and Ellen Joe are strongly hinted at in leaks, though likely not available in the upcoming Version 1.5 update. Version 1.5 itself will bring new characters, potential free skins, and significant gameplay enhancements.
