Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night — it’s the name of this update in Zenless Zone Zero. New Agents, Seed and Orphie & Magus, join the special livestream to reveal everything coming to the game.

The adventures in Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) continue in a new area, and players can start the next story quest. The addition of extra content is planned with the release of ZZZ 2.2, and the official stream reveals all the details on this version.

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night — New story quest

In Zenless Zone Zero 2.1, we could enjoy a nice summer vacation. That version introduced two areas: Sailume Bay and Fantasy Resort.

Sure, players had more fun than just beach relaxation, which surely includes some troubles for their game characters. The ZZZ 2.2 story quest starts from that point — it’s whirling around the battle between Obol Squad and the Exaltists.

Obol Squad starts an operation on the Waifei Peninsula. The warriors of justice need to exterminate the remnants of the Exaltists. At the same time, there something deeper in this mission, so ZZZ players can uncover a hidden truth. The mastermind behind the troubles should be uncovered!

New Agents in ZZZ 2.2

Two new characters join Zenless Zone Zero with the update 2.2. We know them thanks to drip marketing.

Seed

She is an S-Rank Electric Attack Agent. Seed comes with a mecha, Seed Sr., which is pretty helpful during ZZZ battles.

Seed joins Zenless Zone Zero 2.2 with Phase 1 on Sept. 4. Her banner comes alongside the re-run Agent Trigger.

Seed is a weapon specialist in Obol Squad. The girl prefers to be alone in her special base and has some difficulties socializing.

A while ago, the mechanical creature Seed Sr. found her in Hollow Zero and became a guardian for the little one. Now, Seed Sr. "fell asleep", so Orphie & Magus want to help Seed uncover the mysteries of her past. The background of Seed is told in the Agent Story "Flora of the Blooming Valley."

Seed's kit in Zenless Zone Zero

Thanks to the mecha Seed Sr., this Agent is great at dealing damage. Also, Seed can nicely coordinate her actions with other attackers.

  • Passive: Seed selects a teammate with the highest damage. This partner receives attack buffs.
  • Additional Ability: When Seed deals usual damage, she restores energy of her partner.
  • Basic Attack: Seed has special gadgets to attack opponents. In difficult situations, she calls for Seed Sr. to perform a deadly counter-attack.
  • Agent Skills deal massive Electric DMG with some help from Seed Sr.

Orphie & Magus

Technically, we receive one character, but they are still two separate entities in one body. The Agent has the S-rank rarity, and their attack type is Fire.

The character banner for ZZZ Orphie & Magus is in Phase 2 of Version 2.2. The re-run character in Phase 2 is Evelyn Chevalier.

Magus is the captain of the Obol Squad. Orphie and Seed also belong to this organization.

The kit of Orphie & Magus in ZZZ

This Agent also focuses on attack damage and helping teammates in battles.

  • Agent Skill Corrosive Flash allow Orphie & Magus aid other characters in the squad.
  • Agent Skills Crimson Vortex and Heat Charge activate EX special attacks to increase damage for active teammates.
  • Special Ability allows teammates of Orphie & Magus pass through a portion of the opponent's defense.
  • Ultimate is a deadly fire support from the Agent.

Orphie & Magus is a super effective damaging support. You can keep her in reserve and let accumulate special energy. When it's ready, summon Orphie & Magus for massive laser attacks!

ZZZ & Razer collaboration

Two weeks before the Version 2.2 stream, the official social account of Zenless Zone Zero teased an upcoming collaboration with Razer. Considering the nature of this gaming brand, we sure expected some Razer mice and keyboards with the ZZZ style. And it turned out to be the right prediction!

On Aug. 22, Razer opens pre-orders for a few products related to Zenless Zone Zero.

  • Razer Iskur V2, a gaming chair
  • Razer Blackwidow V2, a keyboard
  • Razer Gigantus V2 M, a mousepad
  • Razer Cobra, a mouse

Details on these products are shown on the official poster below.
