The developers from HoYoverse had been on hand to introduce Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.6 “Encore for an Old Dream” and the upcoming playable faction, Angels of Delusion. The update rolls out on February 6 with new agents, new story, events, game mode, freebies, and much more.
How about a chance to share in a massive 4 billion Polychrome prize pool?
Let’s dive right into the Delulu together, but first activate the limited-time promocode shared during the stream. You can use it in-game, in HoYolab or activate via the official site before February 1st:
- DREAMINGANGEL– Polychrome x300, Denny x30k, Senior Investigator Log x2, W-Engine Energy Module x3
Version 2.6 serves as an interlude to the culminating chapter of Season 2, so if you were looking for a chance to slow down and relax before Season 3, this is it. The Proxies return back to the familiar comfort of Sixth Street and prepare to celebrate New Eridu’s annual Gilded Carrot Day festivities that involve the new playable faction, Angels of Delusion.
However, unease persists just beneath the surface even as the city glows with anticipation. Jane Doe sweeps the siblings off their feet and into a new urgent commission involving an illegal intelligent entity. Perhaps, it is someone we just had a chance to meet in V2.5 – as players, not as Proxies just yet.
This mix of anticipation and anxiety is what awaits you in Version 2.6. Even as the Hollows loom and uncertainty lingers, dreams continue to shine, songs find their audience, and someone will always stand guard over those fleeting, precious moments.
Zenless Zone Zero – Version 2.6 Banners Feature:
- Phase I: Sunna (S-rank Physical Support) & Yixuan (S-rank Auric Inc Rupture)
- Phase II: Aria (S-rank Ether Anomaly) & Yuzuha (S-rank Physical Support)
As an S-Rank Physical Support agent, Sunna excels at empowering Attack and Anomaly teammates. Her companion Bubblegum marks enemies with Cat’s Gaze, which can be detonated to deal damage while granting powerful Attack buffs to the entire squad. When activating her Ultimate, Sunna swings her oversized hammer to inflict a heavy burst of damage and triggers a Quick Assist that seamlessly brings allies into combat.
Joining her is Aria, the group’s lead vocalist and an Ether Anomaly agent who possesses two distinct forms: a construct form and an idol projection. She specializes in high burst damage against enemies afflicted with Attribute Anomalies through charged attacks and is particularly adept at confronting foes head-on.
Supporting them behind the scenes is their devoted fan club president, Bangboo Biggest Fan, whose unwavering encouragement steadily restores HP, and can even increase the squad’s Attack when at least two Angels of Delusion members are present. Sunna and Aria will also receive brand-new outfits, with Aria’s costume featuring a unique dual-form design.
