Zenless Zone Zero version 3.1 update ‘The Long Goodbye’ launches July 29

Zenless Zone Zero celebrates its second anniversary.

The version 3.1 update for Zenless Zone Zero, dubbed “The Long Goodbye,” will launch on July 29 alongside a Microsoft Store PC version of the game, developer miHoYo announced.

Here is an overview of the update, via miHoYo:

Zenless Zone Zero will introduce the first Lumiflux attribute Agent in this version—S-Rank Anomaly Agent Remielle Dan, along with S-Rank Ice Attack Agent Sigrid. The new permanent game mode “Enigma of the Labyrinth: Operation Bagel” will also be launched alongside the version update. As a special second-anniversary gift, all Proxies will be able to obtain a free limited S-Rank Agent of their choice and a corresponding exclusive W-Engine, plus generous rewards totaling 1,600 Polychromes and 20 Signal Searches. Additionally, Zenless Zone Zero will officially launch its Xbox PC version with Version 3.1, further expanding the game’s multi-platform coverage.
In the Version 3.1 main story “The Long Goodbye,” as representatives of New Eridu’s major factions arrive on the island one after another, the Proxies unexpectedly reunite with an old close friend — Truvia, the heiress of High Ambitions Corp. It was a past incident that drove them apart, leaving a scar in Pyrois’s memory that never fully heals. Meanwhile, Lindverne Sunbringer, Administrative Director of the Airspace Patrol Department, and her Deputy Director Sigrid formally meet the Proxies for the first time. Lindverne’s carefree demeanor and the legends surrounding Sigrid will all come to light following this encounter. Elsewhere, Remielle Dan — hidden away in an En-Nah Gang hideout — returns to the spotlight, and the Enchainer she previously mentioned, an entity far more powerful than anyone could imagine, will gradually come into focus as the story unfolds.
S-Rank Lumiflux Attribute Anomaly Agent Remielle Dan is the first Lumiflux attribute Agent in Zenless Zone Zero. Her unique Attribute Flux mechanism synchronizes her damage output’s attribute with the attribute of the next Agent in the squad, allowing players to configure different teammates based on the enemy’s weaknesses to change her output attribute. In combat, Remielle can accumulate resources to enter the Phase Flow state, continuously providing buffs to the whole squad without occupying field time, and when resources are fully charged, she descends to trigger a powerful Assist Attack. The Lumiflux-exclusive reaction Refringe converts Anomaly Buildup into a high-burst final explosion. Remielle’s exclusive Signal Search channel will remain available throughout the entire Version 3.1 instead of being limited to either half. The S-Rank Ice Attack Agent Sigrid will debut in the second half of the version. Her core gameplay revolves around the Aerial Patrol Spear Form — whenever an Unbridled Spear skill hits an enemy, she will enter the Aerial Patrol Spear Form, granting the opportunity to hold Basic Attack to launch alternative attacks while also significantly boosting her CRIT Rate for a period of time. Thus, the smoother the output rhythm, the higher her DMG dealt. For reruns, S-Rank Ether Anomaly Agent Aria returns in the first half. The second half will feature the Exclusive Rescreening channel, where Proxies can freely select from three S-Rank Agents — Dialyn, Ukinami Yuzuha, and Asaba Harumasa. Similarly, Proxies can select a rate-up W-Engine from their exclusive W-Engines in the W-Engine Reverberation channel. Accumulated Signal Search data will carry over for these two rerun channels. Additionally, the new S-Rank Bangboo Ariel will also debut her angelic form in the new version.

Version 3.1 will also introduce a brand-new permanent game mode: “Enigma of the Labyrinth: Operation Bagel.” When the Labyrinth Carrot — a special piece of equipment crafted by Joyous, the pioneer of all Proxies — accidentally attracts a large Ethereal, Eous is dragged into the depths of the Hollow while carrying the carrot. Now, Proxies must venture deep into this corrupted area to mount a rescue operation. Players will enter stages to procure supplies and enhance their strength, then safely evacuate within the time limit once they’ve secured enough valuable loot. Collected supplies can then be invested into the research station’s infrastructure to further bolster its capabilities. Enigma of the Labyrinth operates on a seasonal update cycle, sharing weekly progress with Hollow Zero, with exclusive rewards available each season. As for limited-time events, the Fantasy Resort summer event “Summer Waves Roll In” launches alongside the version update. Proxies can join Lucy, Sigrid, and Remielle for beachcombing adventures and souvenir shop management. Complete the event’s main storyline to obtain Lucy’s summer outfit for free. Additionally, Version 3.1 will include five outfits in total: Vivian’s summer outfit Iris of the Shore, Sigrid’s summer outfit Majestic Wavechaser, and Remielle’s summer outfit Seashade Pas Seul and evening gown outfit Moonlight Whispers (featuring both a veiled and unveiled form) will be available in the shop, while Lucy’s summer outfit Princess on Holiday can be obtained for free by completing the limited-time event. Remielle’s two outfits are also available together as a bundle, at a 30% discount.
As for the in-game system optimizations, Version 3.1 will introduce the Custom Search mechanism: Proxies can pre-designate 6 S-Rank Agents from a pool of limited and standard S-Rank Agents. When a non-rate-up S-Rank Signal is obtained during a Signal Search, the signal will be from the selected pool, with each S-Rank Agent having an equal probability of being drawn. The corresponding W-Engine channel and A-Rank Signals will also support such customizations. These settings will remain in effect long-term and can be adjusted at any time. Next, the Beginner’s Guide will replace the existing Proxy Trial, providing growth guidance that includes team composition recommendations and enhancement progression, with built-in dedicated interfaces for level-up guidance and Polychrome acquisition guidance that recommend gameplay content based on the Proxy’s current Inter-Knot level. The progress speed for the Proxies’ Inter-Knot account from level 20 to 50 has also been increased. Additionally, W-Engines in Storage now support batch locking and unlocking, and the auto-selection logic on the W-Engine recommendation interface has also been optimized.
As for the Zenless Zone Zero 2nd Anniversary rewards, all Proxies can freely select one of five limited S-Rank Agents — Jane, Soldier 0 – Anby, Hugo, Trigger, or Lucia — and their corresponding exclusive W-Engine at the same time during Version 3.1. Pyrois’s latest Mindscape and corresponding W-Engine overclocking materials will also be distributed during this period. Version login rewards total 1,600 Polychromes, and the second half’s check-in event “The Great En-Nah Giveaway!” will further give away an additional 10 Encrypted Master Tapes, for a total of 20 pulls.
For collaborations, the annual food collab event “Operation Yum” is making its return, with Ellen and Manato stepping up together this time to bring a culinary experience to Proxies worldwide. In the United States, Zenless Zone Zero will collaborate with renowned Japanese ramen chain Kyuramen, offering limited-edition themed meals and exclusive collab merchandise. In Singapore, Zenless Zone Zero will partner with the well-known hotpot brand Haidilao, offering collab meal sets and limited-edition merchandise rewards. Additionally, Zenless Zone Zero-themed aesthetic exhibitions across multiple global regions have also been announced simultaneously, showcasing a wealth of concept design drafts and animation production materials to the public for the first time. Specific cities and dates will be announced on official social media channels in due course.

In addition to this, miHoYo announced that a Honkai: Star Rail crossover event will officially begin this winter.

Zenless Zone Zero is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC via client download, Steam, and Epic Games Store, iOS via App Store, and Android via Google Play.
