Rumor: Zenless Zone Zero Leaks Tease New Skins for Astra Yao and Ellen

Zenless Zone Zero Leaks Hint at New Skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe

Recent leaks suggest upcoming skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe in Zenless Zone Zero. These leaks depict Astra Yao in a striking all-white dress, a significant departure from her usual attire, and hint at further content for Ellen Joe.

The highly anticipated Version 1.5 update, launching January 22nd, introduces two new characters – including the long-awaited Astra Yao and her bodyguard, Evelyn – alongside a wealth of new content. While Astra Yao's in-game debut was only recently revealed at The Game Awards 2024, leaks indicate she may receive a skin very early in her playable lifespan. This all-white, puff-sleeved dress skin, spotted in the 1.5 beta by leakers Donutleaker and Palito, is a surprising addition.

These leaks also point towards a new skin for the popular launch character, Ellen Joe. The timing of these potential skins is intriguing, especially considering the lack of an Agent Story for Ellen, a notable omission compared to other characters. Fan hopes for more content involving Ellen and her connection to the shark Thiren remain high.

Future Releases, Not Version 1.5?

While the skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe are strongly suggested by the leaks, their release in Version 1.5 is unlikely. Instead, they are more likely teases for future updates. However, Version 1.5 is still highly anticipated, particularly due to the confirmed skin for Nicole Demara. Given Nicole's A-Rank status, there's a possibility this skin could be acquired for free through a limited-time event.

Version 1.4 brought significant gameplay enhancements, including character leveling and overworld exploration improvements. With Version 1.4 concluding soon, the Version 1.5 special livestream promises details on Astra Yao and Evelyn's abilities, upcoming events, and other exciting additions to the RPG.
