HoYoverse has announced that Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.1, titled “The Impending Crash of Waves,” will be released on July 16, 2025. The update introduces two new regions, Sailume Bay and Fantasy Resort, along with new characters, seasonal activities, and gameplay adjustments.
The update marks the continuation of Season 2, Chapter 2, and focuses on the Spook Shack faction. In the new story chapter, players will explore the coastal zone of Sailume Bay, the site of a large-scale safety investigation following recent conflicts involving the Exaltists.
The character Alice Thymefield, introduced as a member of the Thymefield family, will play a key role in the story and joins the game’s playable roster.
Alongside Sailume Bay, the Fantasy Resort setting offers a range of summer-themed content including water-based mini-games, fishing, yacht-based shooting challenges, and restoration activities linked to the resort’s storyline.
Version 2.1 also introduces three S-Rank characters:
- Ukinami Yuzuha, a support unit who uses a tanuki companion and abilities tailored for building up enemy anomalies.
- Alice Thymefield, a sword-based Anomaly Agent who utilizes “Blade Etiquette” mechanics to enhance offensive capabilities.
- Miss Esme, a Bangboo unit that provides buffs related to Energy and HP recovery.
