Sure thing, here we go:

Okay, so here’s the thing. Zenless Zone Zero has been on a bit of a rollercoaster lately. I mean, picture this: four weeks ago, they finally dropped the game on Xbox. Yeah, Xbox! And then, boom, they hit us with this massive 2.0 update. Talk about timing, right?
But, get this, the actual anniversary? Not until July. I can hear you now – “wait, what?” Exactly! Nobody’s gonna grumble about a surprise new update or a fresh slice of story arc, now are they?
Alright, fast forward – July 4 hits. Confetti time! Zenless Zone Zero’s real one-year mark. So of course, what does HoYoverse do? They tease us with another chunky patch. I mean, today’s just the announcement, though. Heads up: 2.1, dubbed The Impending Crash of Waves, won’t drop until July 16. It’s like waiting for a concert to start while they’re still setting up the stage.
Oh, and about those waves I mentioned? Well, the story’s throwing in a new crew called the Spook Shack – fits right into the watery vibe of 2.1. They’re unrolling Sailume Bay and Fantasy Resort, too. (They sound kinda like vacation spots, don’t they? I wish.)
And here we are with Season 2, Chapter 2. Which means all the action’s gonna spill over into Sailume Bay. But wait, Fantasy Resort? That’s your summer playground-slash-storyline.
Agents. Can’t forget those. Meet Ukinami Yuzuha, who’s S-Rank and doubles as a Physical Support Agent, tossing candy bombs with her pal Kama. Sweet moves, literally. Then there’s Alice Thymefield, another S-Ranker – think swordmaster with a knack for maneuvers faster than a cat on caffeine. She’s got this thing called Blade Etiquette? Powers her up when it’s used.
And when July 16 rolls around, expect a new Bangboo, Miss Esme, to join the ranks. Plus, you might see some familiar faces: Void Hunter Miyabi and Yanagi are back for another go.
Oh, before I forget – snoop around for those Zenless Zone Zero July codes if you haven’t already. Who doesn’t love a good freebie?
