Keeping up with Zenless Zone Zero’s new and upcoming character list is almost a full-time job, especially when HoYoverse keeps dropping surprise agents every few versions.

Planning pulls for future updates, or just want to know who’s joining the streets of New Eridu next? We’ve broken down every new, upcoming, and currently playable agent in Zenless Zone Zero here.

New & Upcoming Playable Characters in Zenless Zone Zero

Zenless Zone Zero is constantly evolving, and with each version update, HoYoverse brings new Agents that can shake up how you build teams, tackle content, and plan your pulls.

If you’re chasing stun setup synergies, damage-over-time chaos, or support utility, knowing which characters just dropped and which ones are leaked for the next patch gives you a huge strategic edge.

Zenless Zone Zero Characters Explained

In ZZZ, playable characters are called Agents, and they come in different ranks (A or S), Attributes (like Physical, Fire, Ice, Electric, Ether, or Special types like Honed Edge and Auric Ink), and Roles (Attack, Stun, Support, Defense, Anomaly, etc.).

They equip a W-Engine and Drive Discs that define how they perform in combat and how they sync with your squad’s overall strategy.

Each version banner offers chances to pull these Agents, and since banners rotate frequently, staying up-to-date on who just arrived and who’s coming next lets you save Polychromes for the units that matter most to your playstyle. Now let’s look at the characters by version:

ZZZ Version 2.7 Upcoming Agents Leaks

While we haven’t officially hit Version 2.7 yet, leaks and announcements have teased some exciting new Agents poised to appear on the next banners.

The most talked-about candidates include Nangong Yu, a potential stun specialist with Ether affinity.

If these leaks hold up, Nangong Yu could redefine stun support by building daze quickly and enabling extended burst windows for your DPS mains.

Also, this version is expected to bring Cissia. She’ll excel in sustained chaos damage and disorder setups, potentially pairing well with current and future Fire-centric comps.

Character Name	Rarity (A/S Rank)	Element / Attribute	Combat Role (Specialty)	Game Version
Nangong Yu	S-Rank	Ether	Stun	Version 2.7 (Upcoming)
Cissia	S-Rank	Fire	Anomaly	Version 2.7 (Upcoming)

Expect these new Agents to appear alongside reruns of existing S-Rank characters, and also boosted pull rates for select A-Rank Agents.

The Version 2.7 weapon banners will also spotlight signature W-Engines for Nangong Yu and Cissia, rounding out why you might want to save your Polychromes if you’re chasing either one.

ZZZ New Characters’ List in Version 2.6

ZZZ Version 2.6 delivered a pair of fresh S-Rank Agents that quickly earned spotlight time in theorycrafting and banner rotation talk:

Character Name	Rarity (A/S Rank)	Element / Attribute	Combat Role (Specialty)	Game Version
Aria	S-Rank	Ether	Anomaly	Version 2.6
Sunna	S-Rank	Physical	Support	Version 2.6

Sunna brings utility and teamwide durability that helps your roster stay alive longer and perform tougher rotations.

Meanwhile, Aria leans into tactical damage and status manipulation, adding another layer for players who like strategic setups instead of classic brawling.

Together, these Agents gave Version 2.6 a nice balance of control and offensive potential, appealing to a variety of playstyles.

New Agents in ZZZ Version 2.5

Version 2.5 was no slouch either, introducing Agents that many players still build teams around today:

Character Name	Rarity (A/S Rank)	Element / Attribute	Combat Role (Specialty)	Game Version
Ye Shunguang	S-Rank	Honed Edge	Attack	Version 2.5
Zhao	S-Rank	Ice	Defense	Version 2.5

Ye Shunguang brought crisp, fierce DPS potential to teams, especially where precision damage timing matters. Honed Edge builds often reward aggressive rotations and peak damage bursts.

On the other hand, Zhao’s defensive prowess adds a ton of value in tougher stages where staying alive is half the battle. Ice defense units always help balance offensive power with durability.

Both of these Agents left a lasting mark on the roster, and understanding their roles helps frame how later characters stack up in terms of team power and utility.

Full List of All Playable Characters (Agents) in Zenless Zone Zero

As of the latest updates, all playable characters (Agents) in Zenless Zone Zero come from a wide range of factions, each with their own combat identity, story role, and team synergy.

In Zenless Zone Zero, Agents are the core of gameplay. Every agent is fully playable and defined by their Rank (A or S), Attribute (Physical, Fire, Ice, Electric, Ether, or Special Attributes), and Combat Specialty, such as Attack, Stun, Support, Defense, Anomaly, or Rupture.

On top of that, each agent belongs to a specific Faction, which often influences story events, dialogue, and even the flavor of team-building.
