Zenless Zone Zero: Astra Yao Short Film Debuts

Zenless Zone Zero shines a spotlight on Astra Yao with a new story focusing on her past. MiHoYo (HoYoverse) continues to expand the game's lore, this time delving into the backstory of Astra Yao, the popular singer and part-time on-air support.

A new animated short reveals Astra Yao participating in a benefit concert commemorating a devastating cavernous disaster. The narrative interweaves this present-day event with flashbacks to pivotal moments in her past, following a brief, tense interview with a journalist.

Astra Yao is featured in the first character banner of Zenless Zone Zero 1.5, while Evelyn Chevalier is the star of the second.

The 1.5 update also brings the customary miHoYo (HoYoverse) polychrome compensation. Players receive 300 polychromes for bug fixes and another 300 for technical improvements related to the update. This compensation is delivered directly to in-game mail.

Joining the roster is the new S-rank agent, Astra Yao (Air, Support). Beyond her singing career, Astra Yao is a formidable support agent, boasting powerful HP restoration and substantial damage boosts for allies. Her abilities facilitate more frequent attack chains and quick assists, significantly increasing the squad's damage output.
