Zenless Zone Zero drip-teases S-Rank Agent Banyue for Version 2.4

Zenless Zone Zero is getting a new S-Rank Fire Rupture Agent in Version 2.4.

HoYoverse has revealed Zenless Zone Zero’s second S-Rank banner for Version 2.4, following yesterday’s Dialyn reveal. Banyue, a new Agent from the Krampus Compliance Authority faction, is set to join the playable roster in November's upcoming version update.

This weekend, HoYoverse released drip marketing to confirm all-new playable characters coming to Zenless Zone Zero in its Version 2.4 update. First up was Dialyn, the game’s first Physical Stun Agent, and a member of the new Krampus Compliance Authority faction. 

Today, HoYoverse confirmed that Banyue is also coming in Version 2.4, following the Agent’s unveiling in a previous September livestream. Banyue is a Fire Rupture Agent, working alongside Dialyn in the Krampus Compliance Authority, a subsidiary of TOPS. 

In an Agent Record, he’s described to have “warmth behind his actions.” However, an anecdote from Ju Fufu, who describes being suddenly “struck” by Banyue after being told that her sweeping technique was weak and unfocused, suggests that his actions might not be all that warm at all. 

Dialyn also describes seeing Banyue appear to cry while attempting to give him a hair transplant. That leaves the Agent’s personality somewhat up in the air; is he emotional, strict, or warm? Players will have to wait until Banyue appears in-game to find out. 

Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.3 is set to launch this week with new Agents Lucia, Manato, and Yidhari. Dialyn and Banyue will be featured in the following Version 2.4 update.
