The details around Undercover R&B – alias Zenless Zone Zero version 1.1 – have been revealed during the latest developer livestream: Players will find themselves embroiled in a battle between law enforcement and a crime syndicate.

Three playable Agents will join the existing line-up in the upcoming version and quite a few fresh events are planned to keep things interesting. In addition, the developers have worked on some new areas, modes, and features that will be introduced.

Here’s everything you need to know about the ZZZ 1.1 release date, story, characters, events, and additions.

ZZZ 1.1: release date and trailer

Zenless Zone Zero version 1.1 is set to be released on August 14, 2024, for PC, PS5, iOS, and Android.

ZZZ 1.1: characters and story

The new Story Episode “Undercover R&B” throws Belle and Wise right into a duel between New Eridu Public Security and a crime syndicate called Mountain Lion Gang. 

We need to assist Zhu Yuan and her team, which is getting reinforced by the two new playable Agents Qingyi and Seth, in dealing with the group. The opposition will be powerful, though: The mysterious and talented Jane Doe, who will be a playable character as well as a combat enemy, has quickly risen through the gang’s ranks and will try to hinder the investigation.

ZZZ 1.1: modes, maps, and improvements

Version 1.1 of ZZZ will introduce a new layer of Hollow Zero, in which players will finally be able to do battle against the immense monster that’s been introduced during their first foray into the area – Nineveh. Successfully challenging the Inferno Reap mode and defeating Nineveh inside the time limit will be richly rewarded. This challenge will be accessible without exploring the Hollow on TV screens first – you’ll directly jump into combat. You need to have cleared the Withering Garden in Hollow Zero first, though, so better get to it.

At Lumina Square, a New Eridu Public Security area will be accessible to players, allowing them to explore more of this district.
