The developers from HoYoverse had been on hand during the Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.5 preview livestream. During the special program, Proxies got a chance to learn more about the upcoming story, events, and plentiful freebies. Let’s check them out together!
In “To Be Fuel for the Night”, players will continue pursuing Sarah who had since merged with the Creator, while Ye Shiyuan and Ye Shunguang have their own challenges to undergo. Meanwhile, Youkai – one of the four great AI – makes a triumphant comeback, we finally get a chance to meet Mayor Mayflower, and learn more about Carole Arna.

“Maybe this world is still full of conflict and imperfection, but there’s always something that binds us together. That’s why, whenever crisis strikes, someone always steps forward. And when all these faint lights… these tiny fireflies gather together, they’ll illuminate even the longest night.”
In addition to the new main story chapter that will wrap up the events of Waifei Peninsula and bring the resolution to the stories of Ye Shunguang, Ye Shiyuan, Sarah, and the Exaltists, players are getting spoiled with a variety of free goodies showering them right in time for the holidays.
