In terms of content, we’ve never seen anything quite like Zenless Zone Zero. While the initial launch of Honkai: Star Rail was no slouch, developer HoYoverse is really putting in the overtime with its urban fantasy RPG, as there’s simply an insane amount of things to do in the upcoming v1.3, which will launch on 6th November.
The new story will centre on Section 6, an elite unit designed to deal with Hollows who you’ll already have met earlier in the campaign. “Proxies will execute a commission requested by the HIA with Yanagi and other Section 6 members,” the blurb reads. “In the meantime, the celebration of Settlement Days at the Outer Ring is about to begin. Proxies will be immersed in the vibrant atmosphere.”


There’ll be two new Special Episodes dedicated to Yanagi and Lighter, who’ll headline the banners in both halves of the update. Elsewhere, there’ll be an insane amount of events to participate in, with The Mystery of Arpeggio Fault and the Simulated Battle Trial probably the highlights. The former is a kind of roguelite, chapter-based mode – while the latter is a combat ladder where you’re tasked with climbing as high as possible.
As you’d expect, rewards will be available for everything on offer in this update. Furthermore, there’ll be a bunch of game optimisations and improvements, including some tweaks to the user interface to make everything easier to navigate, especially when it comes to filtering your Disc Drives. In addition, a new shop at Lumina Square will allow you to purchase accessories to customise your bedroom at Random Play.
A frankly frightening amount of content awaits, then. Have you wrapped up all of the activities in the Outer Ring yet? What are you most looking forward to here? Let us know in the comments section below.

Honestly feel there is too much content in this game right now. Between Dailies, Weekly Notorious Hunts & Hollow Zero, Biweekly Shiyu Defence and more it takes up too much time. Yet I keep trying to drop it but am still here.
@themightyant Wait until you're playing Genshin and Star Rail as well. It's insane...
I can only assume Push Square is now the official advertising branch of HoYoverse? Seems like every other day we get another cringey, sycophantic puff piece. Enough already.
@Ooccoo_Jr How dare Pushsquare to report on games on PS consoles
Forget the waifus.
I'm hyped for Knightboo and his majestic steed
@themightyant tbf tho, dailies take one minute and you can clear the Hollow Zero stuff for the week in one run of the Nest's Blitz mode (altho you do kind of have to beat it on the hardest difficulty for that)
@get2sammyb that’s the problem I already am!!! And Wuthering Waves to boot. Somethings gotta give, I think it has to be ZZZ, yet these gacha games are hard to drop! Send help. lol
@Dom_31 dailies definitely don’t take one minute, assuming you want to spend your polychrome too x 320. Then there’s everything I mentioned above. Not to mention new questlines, challenges etc. it all adds up to several hours a week. Don’t get me started on time wasting events like the diner either.
If it was the only live service I was playing that would be ok, but if you play others there’s little time for anything else. I like ZZZ, it’s fun, but while it’s combat is flashy it’s also more shallow than MiHoYos other games, the hollow (tv) gameplay is dull, and as I’ve invested less time here it’s the sensible one to cut.
Honestly, the bear is cooler.

I'm on a zzz high rn, after getting ceasar. Then getting burnice after a single 10 pull! If I win the 50/50 on yanagi I'm absolutely gonna try for her engine too. So please bring as much content possible during her run
And pls add some way to get materials faster. Farming mats is horrendous compared to the 2 other hoyo games on ps 😩
I've been saving for Yanagi since 1.0. I'm ready to bring her home.
And if I don't I'm quitting the game forever.
I'm looking forward to the new game modes and story content, but in terms of character banners this is where I'll start saving.
Zero interest in Yanagi, and I like Lighter but he basically fills the same position as Koleda, who I'll never replace. Also not interested in Harumasa nor Miyabi, which are most likely coming up next.
So yeah, a long period of hoarding tapes ahead of me. Would rather wait for something like an Ellen rerun, or another new character I'm truly into.
I have lost every 50/50 so far, I wish you all a better luck.
I dropped out from ZZZ cause I was already too invested in Honkai. But dude, the animation work in ZZZ is top compared to their other 2 games.
I'M NOT PULLING 😤 I'm exercising resistance and saving myself for 3.x (pray for me)
@TicklefistCP
Women like hot guys just as much as men like hot girls. Hoyo likes money so...hot guys and hot girls.
@Dalamar
My strategy is to not bother pulling for engines. I go for the character and once I get them I start saving for the next character. The A rank gear is still plenty strong for me.
Still have been lucky enough to get both agents. I really wanted Caesar and Burnice, only really interested in Lighter for 1.3, but at this point might as well pull for Yanagi anyways.
@ATaco Same, it's a good strategy. I'm convinced the W-engine banner is a polychrome scam lol
Been playing every day since launch and I adore this game. Someone above said there's too much content - as someone that's done it all I can say there is not. With these new additions, I will have a reason to actually play every day (for a while anyway) rather than just logging on just for dailies and weekly resets, and I'm grateful for it.
I completely misread "wallet-busting waifus" at first glance.
I stopped playing this at like 95%, I just had the final third of the maid mission to do. I keep saying I’ll come back to it but never do. Maybe this time?🤷🏻♂️
Seems cool but I'm just waiting for Miyabi. With how much hype she has, looks like Christmas unfortunately.
Managed to Plat Honkai, and close to doing it with this too, if I can ever befriend that damn cat...
