HoYoverse released a gameplay demo for Zenless Zone Zero Ver.3.0, introducing the new city Los Califa and the combat entity Pyrois. Pyrois manifests from the protagonist's Helios Legacy power and fights alongside Phaethon, with the protagonist appearing during the ultimate skill. The demo also shows new Bangboo designs and a costume for Lynn.
The Ver.3.0 gameplay demo for Zenless Zone Zero, released by HoYoverse on June 5, centers on the new agent Pyrois, a combat entity that manifests from the protagonist's Helios Legacy power. Pyrois belongs to the Phaethon faction, and in its standing illustration, protagonists Lynn and Akira appear behind it, leading players to interpret the agent as the protagonist becoming playable. During the ultimate skill, the protagonist joins the fight, and a command display lets the player choose from four techniques to activate.
The demo also explores Los Califa, a secret floating city above the old capital with a retro-futuristic look. New Bangboo designs with human-like limbs appear, and a new costume for Lynn is shown. Additional footage includes rail-based movement and battle scenes for new agents Normu and Verina. A full Ver.3.0 preview program airs June 6 at 20:30.
