Curious about the ZZZ 2.3 update? Get ready, because the next big content drop for Zenless Zone Zero is almost here! We’re diving deep into everything version 2.3 has in store. If you’ve been diligently saving your Polychrome, you’ll want to see this comprehensive rundown of what’s arriving in HoYoverse’s thrilling urban fantasy world very soon.
This ZZZ 2.3 update continues the story right after Isolde’s dramatic betrayal in the previous Zenless Zone Zero installment. She transformed into The Defiler, only to face a decisive defeat from Orphie and Magus. The Proxies also experienced an unsettling Miasmic vision of Teacher, who implored them to venture into Hollow Zero to confront the Exaltists’ Creator. Beyond the compelling narrative, we’ve also secured an early peek at new characters, fresh locations, and other exciting additions.
Zenless Zone Zero 2.3 Release Date
Zenless Zone Zero 2.3 is scheduled to release on Thursday, October 15, 2025. The update is set to go live at 8pm PT / 11pm ET / 4am BST / 5am CET / 1pm AEST.
ZZZ’s servers will undergo scheduled maintenance for approximately five hours before the new update. HoYoverse typically rewards players with free banner currency for every hour the servers are offline, so remember to check your mailbox for ZZZ Polychrome once the update is live.
Given HoYoverse’s gacha games usually follow a six-week rotation, we anticipate the 2.3 update will conclude on Thursday, November 27, 2025.

Zenless Zone Zero 2.3 Story
The ZZZ 2.3 story continues directly after Isolde’s demise, several weeks after Phaethon and friends successfully cleared out the Obscura in Waifei Peninsula. Following the Miasmic revelation that Carole Arna had previously forged a path through Hollow Zero to help the Exaltists meet their Creator, the Proxies are now ready to follow in her footsteps, determined to uncover the truth.
The siblings will also lend their aid to Yunkui Summit after the mysterious disappearance of Ye Shiyuan. Unbeknownst to them, he has fallen into Sarah’s clutches. After receiving a supposed ‘gift’ of power from the Creator, Sarah is almost certainly the new Overseer. The question remains whether our heroes can rescue him before he succumbs to her dark temptations.
Zenless Zone Zero 2.3 Events
Zenless Zone Zero events are exciting limited-time commissions, narrative scenarios, and unique game modes that offer Proxies the chance to earn rare and exclusive rewards. Some events are announced by name only, so stay vigilant for their appearance in the game.
