Recent Zenless Zone Zero leaks point towards new skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe in upcoming updates. The game's highly anticipated 1.5 update, arriving January 22nd, will introduce two new characters and a wealth of new content.

While Astra Yao's in-game appearance was recently revealed at The Game Awards 2024, her playable debut in Version 1.5 has been eagerly awaited by fans since her introduction to the game's lore. The update will also introduce her mysterious bodyguard, Evelyn. Both will be S-Rank units, and the main mission is expected to center around meeting Astra Yao. New leaks suggest these two popular characters may receive special attention from the developers.

Prominent leaker Donutleaker shared in-game screenshots from the 1.5 beta, showcasing a new skin for Astra Yao: an all-white dress with puff sleeves, a departure from her usual attire. Given her recent addition to the roster, the early release of a skin is unusual. This leak is corroborated by leaker Palito, who also reported skins for both Astra Yao and Ellen Joe within the 1.5 update data. Previous rumors suggested Version 1.5 would include Ellen's first Agent Story, addressing a long-standing fan request for more content focused on her and her shark, Thiren.

While the rumored skins for Astra Yao and Ellen Joe may be revealed, they are unlikely to be immediately obtainable in Version 1.5, possibly being teased for future updates. However, the update is still highly anticipated, with strong indications that Nicole will receive a new skin. As an A-Rank unit, Nicole's skin might be obtainable for free, perhaps through a limited-time event.

Version 1.4 introduced significant gameplay improvements, including character leveling and overworld exploration enhancements. With Version 1.4 concluding soon, the developers have confirmed the date for the Version 1.5 livestream. This broadcast will likely detail Astra Yao and Evelyn's abilities, upcoming events, and other additions to the RPG.
