The Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.7 livestream delivered a stylish and action-packed preview of what’s next for HoYoverse’s urban fantasy hit. Titled “Champions Never Fall to the Past,” this Special Program leaned heavily into new characters, competitive gameplay, and evolving story content that continues to push the game forward.

From powerful new S-Rank Agents to fresh events and rewards, Version 2.7 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting updates yet.

When the 2.7 Livestream Aired

The Version 2.7 Special Program aired on March 14, 2026, across official streaming platforms like YouTube and Twitch.

For players in North America, the stream began at 6:30 AM (UTC-5), making it an early but worthwhile watch for those eager to grab rewards and early information. As with previous broadcasts, the livestream included limited-time redeem codes, typically rewarding players with around 300 Polychrome and upgrade materials.

New S-Rank Agents: Nangong Yu and Cissia

The biggest highlight of the livestream was the official reveal of two new S-Rank Agents:

Nangong Yu

• Attribute: Ether
• Specialty: Stun
• Affiliation: Angels of Delusion

Nangong Yu completes the long-anticipated Angels of Delusion lineup, bringing powerful crowd control and stun mechanics to the team. Her kit is expected to revolve around disrupting enemies and setting up damage windows for allies.

Cissia

• Attribute: Electric
• Specialty: Attack
• Affiliation: N.E.P.S.

Cissia introduces a new faction dynamic and is designed as a high-damage offensive unit, focusing on aggressive playstyles and sustained pressure.

Together, these two characters bring both team synergy potential and meta diversity, giving players more options for both stun-based and damage-focused compositions.

New Events: Competitive Energy and Fresh Gameplay

One of the standout reveals from the livestream was the introduction of a new major event system centered around competition.

Hollow Champion Tournament

• A new tournament-style gameplay mode
• Focuses on combat performance and progression
• Offers substantial rewards, including premium currency and materials

This event represents a shift toward more competitive and structured gameplay, giving players a new way to test their builds and skills.

What This Means for the Meta

Version 2.7 is less about introducing entirely new systems and more about refining and expanding existing gameplay.

Key Takeaways

• Stun-based teams gain a major boost with Nangong Yu
• Aggressive DPS playstyles expand with Cissia
• Competitive modes like the tournament hint at a more skill-based future for ZZZ

This update feels like a bridge between major content drops, strengthening the foundation for what comes next.
