Players of Zenless Zone Zero have a treat in store, as they’re set to receive 800 complimentary Polychromes to mark the game’s nominations at The Game Awards. Like its predecessors Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, the urban action RPG from HoYoverse has captivated gamers across the globe since its anticipated release earlier this year. Within just 48 hours of launching in July, the game attracted a whopping 50 million players and has maintained strong engagement since. Although Zenless Zone Zero came close to snagging some significant awards, it ultimately didn’t take home the trophies.
During the 2024 Game Awards, Zenless Zone Zero made several appearances, lining up nominations for both the “Best Mobile Game” and “Player’s Voice” categories. Despite falling short in these competitive categories—losing out to Balatro and Black Myth: Wukong respectively—fans won’t go empty-handed, as rewards are indeed on the horizon.
On a Friday evening, through their official social channels, Zenless Zone Zero announced a delightful rewards campaign. To appreciate the recognition from the nominations, HoYoverse is giving players 800 free Polychromes starting December 18, when Version 1.4 drops. These goodies will be available to all players, accessible via the in-game mail system until January 25. However, players should be quick to claim their rewards since they’ll expire 30 days after they are delivered in-game.
But that’s not all! Zenless Zone Zero also had a major reveal during the awards. HoYoverse debuted a special teaser for Version 1.4, which included the first official look at the much-hyped new character, Astra Yao. Known as an in-universe singer, Astra Yao has been the subject of various leaks suggesting she will soon join the roster of playable characters.
With an array of free Polychromes and exciting content on the way, fans of Zenless Zone Zero have more to anticipate in the upcoming update. Additionally, HoYoverse has revealed that during Version 1.4, players will also receive a free copy of Asaba Harumasa, a new S-Rank character. Furthermore, the update will see one of the game’s most eagerly awaited characters become playable: Hoshimi Miyabi, the chief of Hollow Special Operations Section 6. There is certainly a lot to look forward to with Zenless Zone Zero’s next big update.
Zenless Zone Zero is set to offer players thrilling new experiences and characters while continuing to expand on its vibrant and immersive in-game world. As players eagerly await the release of Version 1.4, the buzz within the community is palpable, making Zenless Zone Zero a standout title in the gaming landscape.
