Zenless Zone Zero Officially reveals Astra Yao's In-game Appearance



Summary

  • Astra Yao’s in-game model for Zenless Zone Zero has been revealed.
  • The character has a glamorous outfit and sings a Cantonese song in the trailer.
  • Astra Yao’s presence teases the potential future playable character Evelyn as well.



Zenless Zone Zero has shared the official first look at Astra Yao’s in-game model. The character has been mentioned various times in previous Zenless Zone Zero content, and it is rumored that she would become playable in future updates. However, this is the first confirmation that Astra Yao will debut in-game potentially after Version 1.4.

Zenless Zone Zero is getting ready to launch its next update on December 18. The update, titled “A Storm of Falling Stars,” will add a new main story chapter and the release of S-rank units Asaba Harumasa and the highly-anticipated Hoshimi Miyabi. It is worth noting that Asaba Harumasa will be given for free to players in Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.4. The patch will also feature plenty of quality-of-life upgrades and limited events. While Version 1.4 may seem very rewarding, developer HoYoverse recently surprised players with a glimpse of what to look forward to in future patches, including the long-awaited character Astra Yao.

A new leak from Zenless Zone Zero is showing off some impressive upgrades to the PS5 Pro version of the game from Version 1.4.

During The Game Awards 2024, Zenless Zone Zero launched a new promotional video that revealed Astra Yao’s appearance in-game. As confirmed by developers, Astra Yao is a famous singer and actress in New Eridu who carries a secret role behind the scenes. In line with her background, she has a glamorous outfit and accessories paired with long black hair. The clip shows off Astra Yao’s singing skills as well, with a new song in Cantonese. She is not seen in any combat scenarios, though, but earlier Zenless Zone Zero leaks about Astra Yao suggested that she would join the roster eventually. On the other hand, the trailer also features a mysterious blonde female character who follows Astra Yao’s shadow. The new woman does perform in battle, which could hint at her becoming playable. She is suspected to be Evelyn, another long-rumored upcoming unit.


Zenless Zone Zero Officially Reveals Astra Yao In-game


Astra Yao has been mentioned in various in-game content before, including a post on New Eridu’s Inter-knot and a movie poster found in the Random Play video store. She is also implied to be the owner of Snap, a Bangboo players met during the Virtual Battlefield Mayhem event. According to Zenless Zone Zero lore, Astra Yao is such a big star that she needs a Bangboo prototype to avoid harassment. Considering that Zenless Zone Zero has confirmed all Version 1.4 banners, it is likely that a potential Astra Yao banner will arrive in later patches, possibly in the 1.5 update.

Zenless Zone Zero was nominated for Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards but lost to the popular Balatro. 2024 has still been a good year for HoYoverse’s RPG, though, as the game continues to rise in popularity. Zenless Zone Zero also launched a McDonald’s collaboration, which will run through all of December in China.
