Players can also challenge a new boss, Geppetto, in Hollow Zero, and participate in additional game modes such as Dancing on Strings, Shattered Edge, and Virtual World: Battle Storm.

The update introduces new Drive Disc sets—Shadow Harmony and Phaethon’s Melody—offering buffs to Afershock attacks, critical rate, and Anomaly Mastery. The “March On, Tiny Titan!” event allows players to battle in a dream arena, unlocking new Bangboo equipment. Quality-of-life improvements include the Expert Challenge Burnout mode for efficient farming, enhanced W-Engine and Drive Discs displays, and optimizations to the Special Training Plan.

A seven-day login event will offer 10 free wishes and Boopons. Additionally, players can redeem the livestream code SOLDIER0ANBY for 300 Polychromes, 30,000 Dennies, 2 Senior Investigator Logs, and 3 W-Engine Energy Modules. This code expires on March 1, 2025, at 11:59 PM (UTC+8).

Zenless Zone Zero is the latest action RPG from HoYoverse, the studio behind Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. Unlike its predecessors, the game focuses on fast-paced hack-and-slash combat instead of elemental synergy or turn-based mechanics. Zenless Zone Zero is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and mobile devices.
