Astra Yao Is a New Character Coming to Zenless Zone Zero

Astra Yao, a new character for Zenless Zone Zero, was revealed at The Game Awards 2024. This trailer showed a brief preview of the performer and celebrity singer ahead of Version 1.4’s release on December 18, 2024. However, it doesn’t share when she might be playable in the game.

The trailer showed Astra walking through Sixth Street and into a concert hall, pursued closely by a second, unknown character. As well as the brief reveal trailer, we also learned that Astra is a major celebrity in New Eridu, although not much else is known about her at present. She will likely play a larger role in a future update.

Here’s the full video:

While it’s unknown if Astra Yao will be making an appearance or how big a part she’ll play Version 1.4 of Zenless Zone Zero will contain some significant changes for the game. These include the removal of TV mode, so no future missions will contain navigation through a map of TV screens. Old missions will allow these sections to be skipped entirely. Version 1.4 will add the new characters Hoshimi Miyabi and Asaba Harumasa.

Zenless Zone Zero is out now for PC, PS5 and mobile devices. Version 1.4 will release on December 18, 2024.
