- Zenless Zone Zero’s second anniversary lands July 4, with celebrations likely arriving in the next update.
Zenless Zone Zero Reveals Remielle Dan and Sigrid for Version 3.1
HoYoverse wasted no time teasing what’s next after Version 3.0. That update was easily the studio’s biggest of the year for Zenless Zone Zero, adding the new Roscaelifer district to New Eridu, a restricted zone most civilians in the city aren’t even allowed into. It also kicked off Season 3 of the main story and brought three new characters into the mix with Norma, Velina, and the combat avatar Pyrois for Belle and Wise.
Now the spotlight shifts to Version 3.1, and HoYoverse confirmed the two new S-Rank units through the game’s official social channels. Remielle Dan is set to be the first new face of the patch, while Sigrid rounds out the duo as the second confirmed addition.
Who Is Remielle Dan in Zenless Zone Zero?
Remielle Dan is shaping up to be a big deal for the Void Hunters faction, becoming its third playable member. What’s got fans really excited is the elemental twist attached to her. Remielle is expected to introduce a brand-new Wind attribute to the game, joining the list of unique elements already established by fellow Void Hunters like Miyabi, Yixuan, and Ye Shunguang. Each of those characters got their own signature elemental identity, so adding Wind to that lineup gives Remielle a distinct combat niche right out of the gate.
Who Is Sigrid in Zenless Zone Zero?
Sigrid takes a more grounded approach compared to Remielle’s elemental novelty. She’s confirmed as an Ice Attack character hailing from Roscaelifer’s Airspace Patrol Department, tying her directly into the new district introduced in Version 3.0. For players who’ve been wanting more Ice-based DPS or support options, Sigrid looks like she’ll fill that role nicely once she’s playable.
Why Fans Are Questioning HoYoverse’s Marketing for Version 3.1
One detail that’s got the community buzzing has nothing to do with the characters’ kits and everything to do with how they were revealed. HoYoverse usually spaces out drip marketing for new units across separate days, typically following the order characters appear on their gacha banners. This time, the reveal posts for Remielle Dan and Sigrid landed just two hours apart.
That unusually tight gap has players speculating the two might actually share a banner phase, running side by side for the entirety of Version 3.1. It wouldn’t be unheard of either. Version 1.4 did something similar, running coinciding banners for Hoshimi Miyabi and Asaba Harumasa for the full length of that patch. If HoYoverse repeats that approach here, players will need to plan their pulls a lot more carefully than usual.
When Does Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.1 Release?
Based on the game’s usual six-week patch cycle, Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.1 is currently expected to launch on July 29. As always, treat that as an estimate until HoYoverse confirms it through an official livestream or patch notes drop closer to release.
Zenless Zone Zero’s Second Anniversary Is Coming Too
Version 3.1 isn’t just about new characters. Zenless Zone Zero officially turns two years old on July 4, and based on past patterns, the actual in-game celebrations should land in the update following that date, which lines up with Version 3.1. HoYoverse hasn’t confirmed specifics yet, but the game’s first anniversary in Version 2.1 set a pretty generous bar. Players back then walked away with a heap of Polychromes, a free standard S-Rank character, and a free S-Rank W-Engine. If the second anniversary follows a similar formula, free-to-play players have a lot to look forward to.
What Else Is Coming in Zenless Zone Zero Season 3
Remielle and Sigrid are just the start of what HoYoverse has planned for Season 3. The lead-up to Roscaelifer’s launch already teased several more characters set to arrive throughout the season, including Severian, The Storyteller, and Sunbringer, among others still unannounced.
Version 3.0 also brought a solid batch of quality-of-life changes that are still benefiting players heading into 3.1. That includes adjustments to Quality Time and Trust Events, plus a new redeemable item in the in-game shop that grants A-Rank W-Engines. Combined with the new district, new story content, and now two more S-Rank characters on the way, Season 3 is shaping up to be one of the busiest stretches Zenless Zone Zero has had since launch.
For official patch notes and livestream announcements as Version 3.1 gets closer, keep an eye on the official Zenless Zone Zero site and the game’s official X account, where HoYoverse usually drops character trailers and banner details first.
