Anniversary Booth Highlights
The Zenless Zone Zero booth at gamescom 2026 was a hub for Proxies to celebrate the game's second anniversary. Attendees could participate in photo ops, trivia challenges, and other activities tied to the gamescom commission series. These activities were designed to be accessible, with rewards for both casual visitors and dedicated fans.
One of the standout features was the Eridu Commodities event, which offered limited ZZZ merchandise. The spending-tier gifts encouraged attendees to engage with the booth's retail side, but the event operated on a first-come, first-served basis. Early arrival was recommended to secure exclusive items.
Gamescom Commission Series Recap
The gamescom commission series returned to the Inter-Knot from August 26–30, allowing players to earn in-game rewards by completing tasks at the booth. While the exact list of rewards wasn't detailed in official materials, the series has historically offered Polychrome, Dennies, and exclusive titles.

What This Means for Proxies
The gamescom presence reinforces HoYoverse's commitment to live events, but it also hints at the game's ongoing momentum. With the second anniversary now behind us, players can expect the usual mid-year updates—new characters, events, and quality-of-life improvements. However, not stated in official materials is any specific roadmap for the next patch.
For F2P players, the commission series was a low-effort way to earn extra currency, but the real value was in the exclusive merchandise for collectors. If you missed out, keep an eye on official channels for potential leftovers or future events.
Pre-Patch To-Dos (If You Attended)
If you participated in the gamescom commission series, make sure you've claimed all your in-game rewards before they expire. Double-check your in-game mail and event pages to ensure nothing is left unclaimed. For those who didn't attend, there's no action needed—the event was purely optional.
Day-1 Priorities After gamescom
Now that gamescom is over, the focus shifts back to the regular update cycle. Check the in-game notice board for any post-event compensation or lingering tasks. If you're planning your pulls for upcoming banners, our Zenless Zone Zero guides can help you decide where to spend your Polychrome.
Final Thoughts
gamescom 2026 was a celebration of Zenless Zone Zero's growth, and the booth's success suggests HoYoverse will continue investing in real-world events. For Proxies, the takeaway is simple: stay engaged with official channels for future opportunities, and keep an eye on our coverage for the next patch details.
