Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 introduces highly anticipated S-Rank agent reruns! For the first time, players can obtain previously released characters like Ellen Joe and Qingyi. This marks a significant departure from the game's previous strategy of solely introducing new agents with each update, aligning it more closely with the rerun banner systems of other HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact.

Version 1.5 is divided into two phases. Phase 1 (January 22nd - February 12th) features the new Ether agent, Astra Yao, alongside a rerun banner for Ellen Joe (originally from Version 1.1), complete with a new Agent Story. Phase 2 (February 12th - March 11th) introduces Evelyn Chevalier and a rerun banner for Qingyi (also from Version 1.1). Both rerun banners will also include the respective characters' signature W-Engines.

Further exciting news from the Version 1.5 Special Program includes three new character outfits: "Chandelier" for Astra, "On Campus" for Ellen, and "Cunning Cutie" for Nicole. The "Cunning Cutie" outfit for Nicole is a free reward obtainable during the Day of Brilliant Wishes event. This confirms recent leaks and adds another layer of excitement to the update. The inclusion of rerun banners is a welcome change for players who missed out on previous characters or are newer to the game.
