If you're planning your pulls or just want to know what's worth your time, here's everything you need to know about the update. For the latest Zenless Zone Zero news, you're in the right place.

The update will take approximately five hours to complete, and HoYoverse is compensating players with 600 Polychrome (300 for the server update, 300 for issue fixes). This patch also introduces a new area, new outfits, and a fresh round of endgame content. Let's break down the details.

At a Glance

• Patch: Version 3.2 "Their Secret Histories"
• Release: 2026-09-09 06:00 (UTC+8); maintenance ~5 hours

Maintenance and Compensation

The update begins on 2026-09-09 06:00 (UTC+8) and is expected to last about five hours. After maintenance, all players who reach Inter-Knot Lv. 4 before the update will receive 300 Polychrome as server update compensation and another 300 Polychrome for issue fixes. The compensation is sent via in-game mail and expires after 30 days, so claim it promptly. The issue fix compensation must be claimed before 2026-10-09 23:59 (UTC+8).

New Agents and Banners

Two new S-Rank Agents headline Version 3.2:

• Claret (Electric, Armorer) – available via the "Bloodmoon Rising" Signal Search.
• Roxy (Wind, Stun) – available via the "Cindernight Respite" Signal Search.

Both Agents come with their own S-Rank W-Engines: Crimson Thirst for Claret and Crimson Moon Casket for Roxy. Additionally, an A-Rank W-Engine Bloodmarrow Coffer (Armorer) can be obtained through the New Eridu City Fund, while Catty Luck and B-Rank [Lunar] Semiluna (both Armorer) are available via Signal Searches or the gadget store.

Should You Pull?

Claret is an Electric Armorer, a new specialty introduced in this patch. If you're building an Electric team, she's likely a strong addition, but her full kit details aren't yet available. Roxy is a Wind Stun unit, which could fit into teams that need more crowd control. As always, consider your existing roster and upcoming banners before committing. For F2P players, it's wise to wait for early reviews and see how these Agents perform in endgame modes like Shiyu Defense.

New Story and Areas

Main Story Season 3 Chapter 3 "Their Secret Histories" becomes permanently available after the update. To access it, you must complete Season 3 Chapter 2 "The Long Goodbye." If you're behind, you can use the Advance Screening function after ranking up in Season 1 Chapter 1 – Intermission.

The update also adds three new areas:

• Roscaelifer – Vyrium District (unlocked during Season 3 Chapter 1)
• Roscaelifer – [Restricted Area] Porcelloy Research Institute (unlocked during Chapter 3)
• Roscaelifer – [Restricted Area] Shrouded Reef Transfer Station (unlocked during Chapter 3)

These areas are tied to the main story, so expect to explore them as you progress.
