July 16, 2025 – Singapore – As Zenless Zone Zero celebrates its one-year anniversary, HoYoverse is excited to announce that Version 2.1, titled “The Impending Crash of Waves”, will go live on July 16 (UTC+8). This latest update brings a wave of vibrant, summer-themed content, two new explorable areas, and fresh characters for players to discover in New Eridu.
