Zenless Zone Zero’s Version 2.7 update is shaping up to be one of the more notable banner rotations of early 2026. The update is expected to go live on March 24, 2026, following the typical six-week patch cycle used by developer HoYoverse. Servers are likely to undergo maintenance before the update launches, after which players can begin pulling on the new banners.
As with most Zenless Zone Zero updates, Version 2.7 is expected to feature two separate banner phases. Each phase typically runs for around three weeks and highlights one main S-Rank agent along with boosted drop rates for several A-Rank characters.
The biggest highlight of Version 2.7 is the arrival of two brand-new S-Rank agents.
| Character | Rank | Element / Role | Banner Phase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nangong Yu | S-Rank | Ether / Stun | Phase 1 |
| Cissia | S-Rank | Fire / Anomaly | Phase 2 |
Nangong Yu is expected to appear in the first half of Version 2.7. She is part of the “Angels of Delusion” group, completing the trio that started appearing in earlier updates. Gameplay details suggest she focuses on crowd control and stun mechanics, which could help teams trigger burst windows more consistently.
The second half of the patch is expected to feature Cissia, another S-Rank agent. Early information indicates she may be a more aggressive attacker focused on anomaly or damage-over-time mechanics. If confirmed, she could introduce new team compositions centered on elemental effects and sustained damage.
Alongside the new agents, Version 2.7 is also expected to include several rerun banners. While HoYoverse has not confirmed the exact lineup yet, current reports and leaks suggest that characters such as Harumasa and Orphie & Magus may return during the update. These reruns usually appear in parallel with the new character banners, giving players multiple options for their pulls.
Like previous updates, each character banner will also have a corresponding W-Engine banner, which provides the signature weapon designed to complement the featured agent. Pull mechanics will remain unchanged, meaning the existing pity system and drop rates will still apply. Players who miss the new agents may have to wait several months before reruns appear again, as limited characters typically return after about six to twelve months.
For players planning their pulls, Version 2.7 could present a difficult choice. Nangong Yu may appeal to players who want more control and stun utility, while Cissia could offer strong damage potential depending on her final kit. With rerun banners also expected, careful resource planning will be important if you want to secure multiple characters.
Overall, Zenless Zone Zero 2.7 continues the pattern of introducing new agents while expanding existing factions and playstyles. As the release date approaches, HoYoverse is likely to reveal more details through official announcements, livestreams, and character previews.
