Version 1.2 quests and area

The Version 1.2 teaser takes us on the road with the Biker Gang, Sons of Calydon. You’ll embark on a thrilling ride with them in the new Phaethon story, Tour de Inferno. It’s a race to see who’s the strongest in the Hollows, crowning the winner as the “Overlord of the Old Oil Field.” However, there seems to be something strange at work here when a mysterious enemy threatens the world.

Behind the scenes, there’s also a new Agent Story, A Stroke of Luck. Go out on the town with Burnice to level up her friendship and earn some EXP.

You’ll experience it all in the new environment, the New Eridu Outer Ring. It looks to be a desert region packed with numerous roadways.

Zenless Zone Zero gameplay updates

Dive into a challenging new mode with the Hollow Zero: Blitz Withering Garden. No exploration is required here, as it solely focuses on combat. Complete each level to reach the final boss, Nineveh.

But before you go on this venture, you should check out the Investigator Training Course. The hub allows you to increase your Agent’s levels by providing them with a ton of EXP. However, you must first complete a few objectives through special Combat Lessons.

If you want more games in Godfinger Arcade, ZZZ Version 1.2 expands the collection with the Bizarre Brigade. Like the Blitz Withering Garden, you’ll embark on a showdown and summon allies to earn rewards.

A few minor updates also improve Zenless Zone Zero’s general gameplay features. Specifically, you’ll be able to play as any Agent outside of combat to explore New Eridu in an entirely new way. Players got a small taste of this experience in the Undercover R&B episode, and now it’ll be further explored in the upcoming patch.
