Traverse the barren Outer Ring with the Sons of Calydon.The version 1.2 update for Zenless Zone Zero, dubbed “Tour de Inferno,” will launch on September 25, developer miHoYo announced.
Here is an overview of the update, via miHoYo:
Proxies will expand their journey in New Eridu to the desolate outskirts known as the Outer Ring while hopping on a passionate motorcycle ride with Caesar, Burnice and other members from the Sons of Calydon. Meanwhile, the brand-new arcade game “Bizarre Brigade” at Godfinger and various events including “Overlord’s Feast” will offer players more entertaining ways to enjoy the game. With optimizations for the TV mode, squad preset, time and stamina systems being implemented in this version update, Zenless Zone Zero is aiming to keep providing its players with a better gaming experience.
Serving as the main stage for the upcoming chapter of the story, Outer Ring is an undeveloped and barren area located out of downtown, New Eridu. Despite the desolation, the area is affluent in fuel resources which sometimes leads to simmering tensions and competition among different groups. In Version 1.2, Proxies will work with Caesar, Burnice, and other members from the Sons of Calydon for a showdown with their rival, The Vanquishers, and Overlord Pompey. Players will also be able to explore New Eridu as Caesar and Burnice in the new version.
As a faction active in the Outer Ring, the Sons of Calydon operates a logistics company known as “Leaps and Bounds” and transports resources through Hollows. Caesar, the leader of the Sons of Calydon, is an S-Rank Physical Defense Agent. Besides providing allies with a shield buff, she can also deal massive damage with her shield and debuff enemies once Perfect Block or Defensive Assist is triggered. The other new character, Burnice, is an S-Rank Fire Anomaly Agent who can deal an impressive amount of Fire damage and quickly accumulate Anomaly Buildup to Burn enemies with two flamethrowers. In the meantime, the Sons of Calydon’s S-Rank Bangboo Red Moccus is also eager to join the combat with a customized Bangboo motorcycle.

Additionally, a time-limited survival shooting arcade game called “Bizarre Brigade” will be available at Godfinger. By advancing through this roguelike game, players can unlock different characters and use them to complete challenges. Players will also get an opportunity to practice their combat skills with characters from different factions for free, level up their Agents faster, and obtain rewards via a new gameplay called Investigator Training Course at HIA.
Beyond content updates, Zenless Zone Zero will optimize several in-game mechanics and features to offer Proxies a better and more seamless game experience. Starting from Version 1.2, players can automatically acquire all Observation Data and rewards on the TV board with the help of FAIRY once finishing exploring the board for the first time. The presentation of the TV board including certain animations will also be improved and accelerated while players will enjoy the story and combat more directly and consistently in the new Chapter 4. Moreover, players will be able to preset their lineups for the combat and switch the time freely, and a Backup Battery Charge will be provided to offer players more stamina in the game.
