Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.0 Releasing This Month

HoYoverse announced that its newest season for free-to-play action RPG Zenless Zone Zero will begin later this month. The version 3.0 update, titled “A Sleepwalker’s Confession”, will release on June 17, 2026. It starts Season 3 of the game, which takes players to the sky island of Roscaelifer. The date will also see the game’s PC version become available through Steam.

The main storyline of the update sees players looking to treat the mysterious Ether energy in their body that is once again spiralling out of control. They are invited by the Mayor of New Eridu to enter the Roscaelifer restricted zone, where around 70% of its residents are Bangboo creatures. When they arrive — guided by Velina, Administrative Director of the External Strategy Department (ESD) — players are soon wrapped in various events, including a string of Bangboo self-destruction incidents.

The update adds three new playable characters: Velina, Norma, and Pyrois. Velina is a S-Rank Wind-attribute Anomaly Agent, the game’s first Wind-attribute agent. Norma is the ESD’s Chief Technician and an S-Rank Fire attribute Stun Agent. Finally, Phaethon faction Agent Pyrois will be gifted to all players as part of the main story.

Other content in the update includes new exploration bonuses and experiences in Roscaelifer. Players can get a daily random cookie from Roarin’ Brekkies, while the Spotlight Theater can be found in an alleyway with performances involving all-Bangboo casts. There is also a mysterious sky bus, which has a hidden route that can be unlocked when summoned at a specific time. Players will be able to access the Universal Terminal and take control of surveillance cameras for first-person reconnaissance and scanning, as well as pilot a drone alongside Eous in special operations.

Meanwhile, new “Bangbang! The Genius and the Miracle Chip” and “Annihilation Simulacrum” offer two new permanent gameplay modes. The former sees player command Collaboorator squads to repair the Central Computing Hub and complete chip research missions, while the latter offers a battle mode centered on high-difficulty Boss challenges with no elemental weaknesses or resistances. The update will also include various limited-time events, quality-of-life features, player bonuses, and more.

Zenless Zone Zero is an action RPG set in the post-apocalyptic metropolitan city of New Eridu and is currently available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, iOS, and Android. The city is the only place to have survived a supernatural disaster in which gateways to perilous dimensions called Hollows appear and expand. Players control Proxies, those who guide others exploring the Hollows.
