Miyabi is one of the upcoming characters of Zenless Zone Zero. Here’s all we know about her so far!

If you've been following Zenless Zone Zero for a while, you'll know of Hoshimi Miyabi's existence in the Hoyoverse - in fact, she's pretty popular. Miyabi is an unreleased Agent who first appeared during the CBT1 (Closed Beta Test 1) but was pulled out from the Agent pool in the next versions. So when is Hoshimi Miyabi's release date and what are her character details?

When is Hoshimi Miyabi's release date?

Hoshimi Miyabi's release date has not been confirmed yet. But rumors say that Miyabi will release in the Zenless Zone Zero 1.3 update, which might come in another two months. Following the banner-release cycle, the 1.3 update and Miyabi might come around November to December this year. As miHoYo loves releasing characters by their factions, we can expect Miyabi to enter Zenless Zone Zero with the other teased characters - Harusama and Yanagi.

Miyabi was one of the most popular CBT Agents. But during the second Tuning Test and on release, she was not among the available Agents. A lot of people assume that she'll be a limited S-Rank Agent that will come with her own featured banner (or Exclusive Channel). However, during the tests, she was introduced as an A-Rank Agent. So do take the assumptions with a pinch of salt.
