Zenless Zone Zero 2.7 Update Announced

HoYoverse announced details for the upcoming Version 2.7 update to its urban action RPG Zenless Zone Zero, titled "Champions Never Fall to the Past," which launches on March 24, 2026, across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, iOS, and Android platforms. The patch centers on the Hollow Champion competition, a large-scale tournament in the game's New Eridu setting that draws participants from various factions for high-stakes rewards, including the rare Porcelloy WEngine.

The Hollow Champion event, hosted by the in-game organization TOPS, unites familiar groups like the Cunning Hares and Sons of Calydon with unexpected entrants, such as members of the Public Security's Metropolitan Order Division and former Calydon Sweepers. Developers highlighted the competition's role in advancing the core story, "New Eridu Sunset A," which introduces new characters and reunites old allies. A key challenge features Black Wolf Romeul, an antagonist who activates a Corruptive Barrier to boost his critical damage and interruption resistance while draining opponents' health over time. Players can counter him effectively with teams focused on sustained Anomaly damage to shatter the barrier.
