Zenless Zone Zero 2.1 release date and when you can grab its new characters
Players of Zenless Zone Zero are in for a treat with the upcoming 2.1 update, which promises a wealth of new characters, locations and battles.
Zenless Zone Zero seems to be on a roll with updates, as hot on the heels of the release of update 2.0 and the Xbox edition, there's even more content on the horizon. The forthcoming update, dubbed 'The Impending Crash of Waves', leans into classic anime beach episode tropes and offers an adventure set along the seaside, complete with battles on promenades and piers.
The update will also herald the introduction of the Spook Shack faction and new agents Ukinami Yuzuha and Alice Thymefield. If you didn't get enough beach time with the arrival of Death Stranding 2, this free update should satisfy your craving. Despite the short intervals between updates, Zenless Zone Zero has maintained an impressive level of quality, and this seaside adventure is expected to be no different.
This is a welcome boost for the game, especially after its recent transition into a bold new era. HoYoverse fans have been kept busy with the new free Honkai Star Rail character Archer, a five-star fighter. But there's more to look forward to, as the new update is just around the corner, promising plenty to keep players engaged. So when exactly can we expect it? Here's what you need to know about the Zenless Zone Zero update 2.1 release date.
Zenless Zone Zero update 2.1 release date
The release date for the Zenless Zone Zero update 2.1 has been set for Wednesday, July 16 at around 12pm PDT / 3pm EDT / 8pm BST. This date has been confirmed by HoYoverse, and the launch time is an estimation based on recent downtime periods like with the 2.0 update – and though Zenless Zone Zero update 1.7 came an hour earlier than this, it's a fair presumption to make that the game has found a new favourite release time since it stepped into the game's new era. An official time will be confirmed closer to the date on Zenless Zone Zero's social channels.
The excitement for Zenless Zone Zero seems to keep building, and with so much content for players to dive into, there's no doubt that they'll be sticking around in New Eridu for some time. We'll see you on the promenade, hopefully not in your way.
