A New Home, New Dangers: Welcome to Waifei Peninsula
The story in Zenless Zone Zero 2.0 shifts dramatically to the Waifei Peninsula, a captivating new area located in the Throne Quarter. Once a critical Hollow monitoring outpost, this region is rich in Porcelume – a rare material known for its resistance to Ether Corruption.
However, danger looms as greedy factions and Hollow-worshipping cultists are exploiting Porcelume for their sinister agendas. Players will team up with the formidable High Preceptor Yixuan to prevent an impending disaster and unravel the truth behind the escalating tensions. The main quest, “Where Clouds Embrace the Dawn,” continues the gripping Phaethon storyline and promises to reveal secrets about the mysterious Phaethon siblings.
Explore stunning new locales like Failume Heights, a vibrant cliffside town, and the serene Suibian Temple, where you’ll train alongside Yixuan. Plus, a new management system for the temple allows you to send Bangboo on explorations, craft items, and unlock exclusive outfits and rewards as your Management Level grows!
