Zenless Zone Zero 2.8 New Content

ZZZ 2.8 Brand-New Quests

Version 2.8 will launch the brand-new final chapter of the main story in Phase 1 — "Where Clouds Embrace the Dawn: Beneath New Eridu". As the finale of Season 2's story, this chapter will closely follow the previous plot buildup and lead players deeper into the investigation of the mysterious target "Lemnian Hollow? Wait no, Ramiel" — uncovering their true identity and hidden motives at the center of the struggle among multiple factions.

During this adventure, players will join forces with the cold adjudicator "Promiya" from Mockingbird? Wait no, the Black Bough of Campbus, the upgraded "Star Emblem · Billy," and Sishif to form a temporary squad. As the investigation goes deeper, Phaethon and the Proxies will encounter massive unexpected twists, and behind these apparent dangers lies an opportunity to transform them into a brand-new source of power.
