Zenless Zone Zero – When does Miyabi release in ZZZ?

Another powerful Ice recruit is on the way.

One of the best parts of Zenless Zone Zero is the massive roster of playable characters you can collect. This collection also continuously grows, which means there are always fresh faces on the horizon, like Hoshimi Miyabi.

Miyabi is the head of the Hollow Special Operations Section 6 Faction and a highly adept martial artist. She’s a pretty powerful unit and quite a unique-looking one too, so here’s when Miyabi will be released in ZZZ so you’re ready to add her to your roster as soon as you can.

Miyabi’s official release date in ZZZ is not currently known, but she’s expected to become playable in Version 1.1, which means she might launch on or around Aug. 14. If she does launch during this update, she could either be part of the first banner on Aug. 14 or be on the second one launching around three weeks later around Sept. 4.

She’s a fairly mysterious unit so far, so it’s not yet known whether she’ll be available on her own banner as a featured S-Rank or if she’s instead an upcoming A-Rank. This means she may be the main recruit on a banner or a featured A-Rank with a boosted drop rate on an S-Rank’s exclusive banner instead.

Although she’s not out yet, we got to playtest her in the beta and she had the Ice Attribute with the Slash attack type. She was an A-Rank unit during the beta tests, but she might launch as a featured S-Rank instead due to her immensely impressive and powerful abilities. Her skills were so impressive during the beta tests before ZZZ launched that she was deemed broken and was taken out of the game. She hasn’t been playable since, but you can see her in a story cutscene and she has quite a dramatic entrance.

Miyabi is currently expected to be an S-Rank due to her general gameplay and the way she has appeared in cutscenes lining up with S-Rank status far more than A-Rank, although we won’t know for sure which one she is until her official launch is closer. Only the immediate next banner is known for now, but we’ll likely hear more about Miyabi in the coming weeks.
