Developer HoYoverse had been on hand during the latest Zenless Zone Zero special program dedicated to the upcoming Version 2.2. Titled Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, it features some new and familiar faces.
In the previous version’s story, Proxies have defeated the Exaltists with the help of Spook Shack, shifu Yixuan and some old friends from the Obol Squad. But while Porcelumex’s evil deeds might be behind us now, the threat is not over just yet.
The New Eridu Defense Force – including the Obol Squad – moves to the Waifei Peninsula to neutralize the Exaltist threat. The operation is organized by Major General Lorenz, with Colonel Isolde leading the charge. The Proxie siblings aid the Squad as Hollow consultants. But will it help to calm the already turbulent situation, or will it only make things worse? Season 2 Main Story Chapter 3 “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” will answer these questions and more.
The trailer – that you can find below – also hints at some truths about the siblings’ teacher, Carole Arna, coming to light.

The update introduces two new playable characters, both belonging to the Obol Squad. Or is it two and a half, or even three when summed together, since they’re so special?..
Zenless Zone Zero – Version 2.2 Banners Feature:
Phase I:
- S-rank: Seed (Electric Attack) & Trigger (Electric Stun)
- S-rank W-Engines: Cordis Germina (Attack) & Spectral Gaze (Stun);
- A-rank characters: Anby (Electric Stun) & Nicole (Ether Support);
- A-rank W-Engines: The Vault (Support), Demara Battery Mark II (Stun);
Seed is an orphan that was found inside Hollow Zero. Until he’s fallen asleep, Seed Sr. was the one taking care of her. But with the big robot unavailable, now it’s the duty of Captain Magus and the Obol Squad.
As a genius mechanic, Seed has transformed the Seed Sr. mecha into a formidable partner with overwhelming firepower and suppression capabilities. Seed excels in synergizing with other Attack agents to enhance the team’s sustained damage output.
Phase II:
- S-rank: Evelyn (Fire Attack) & Orphie (Fire Attack);
- S-rank W-Engines: Bellicose Blaze (Attack) & Heartstring Nocturne (Attack);
- A-ranks: Lucy (Fire Support) & Anton (Electric Attack);
- A-rank W-Engines: Drill Rig – Red Axis (Attack), Kaboom the Cannon (Support);
Orphie & Magus, the S-Rank Fire Attack Agent and Obol Squad’s captain, excels in coordinated team combat using powerful lasers. Through EX Special Attack that assists allies, Orphie can accumulate Bottled Heat, and place all squad members into the Zeroed In state upon hitting enemies, boosting Attack and allowing Aftershocks to ignore a portion of the enemy’s Defense.
S-rank battle Bangboo Mercury joins the line-up to wrap up the Obol Squad.
