Version 2.6 release date and what the livestream confirms
Version 2.6 itself is scheduled to go live on February 6, 2026. The livestream locks in that this patch focuses on Angels of Delusion, the idol faction previously teased in the story.
The broadcast confirms three core things about the state of 2.6:
- Release date: February 6, 2026.
- Main new agents: Sunna and Aria as limited S-Rank debuts.
- Central theme: an Angels of Delusion performance arc, including new story and a livehouse map.
ZZZ 2.6 livestream codes and rewards
The 2.6 special program distributes a set of codes, with one main livestream code carrying the bulk of the rewards.
| Code | Reward bundle |
|---|---|
| DREAMINGANGEL | Polychromes ×300, Senior Investigator Log ×2, W-Engine Energy Modules ×3, Dennies ×30,000 |
| ZZZANGELS | Polychromes ×50 |
| ZENLESSGIFT | Polychrome ×50, Official Investigator Log ×2, W-Engine Power Supply ×3, Bangboo Algorithm Module ×1 |
To redeem any of these codes without opening the game client, use the official code redemption page at zenless.hoyoverse.com/redemption.
Step 1: Sign in with the HoYoverse account linked to your Zenless Zone Zero profile, then select the correct server region for your account.
Step 2: Enter one active code exactly as written in the table above and confirm the redemption.
Step 3: Launch Zenless Zone Zero and open in‑game mail from the “More” menu to collect the rewards. Successful redemptions always arrive as a mail attachment; if nothing appears, the code is either expired, already used on that account, or mistyped.
Version 2.6 character banners from the livestream
The 2.6 program lays out a predictable two‑phase banner structure, with a new S‑Rank debut and an S‑Rank rerun in each half, plus signature W‑Engine banners.
| Phase | Character signal search | W‑Engine banners |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Sunna (new S‑Rank, Angels of Delusion) and Yixuan (S‑Rank rerun) | Thoughtbop (Sunna’s signature) and Qingming Birdcage (Yixuan’s signature) |
| Phase 2 | Aria (new S‑Rank, Angels of Delusion) and Yuzuha (S‑Rank rerun) | Angel in The Shell (Aria’s signature) and Metanukimorphosis (Yuzuha’s signature) |
Both Sunna and Aria are confirmed as debuting in Version 2.6 rather than later patches. Sunna appears in Phase 1; Aria follows in Phase 2. Their W‑Engines share the same phasing through the dedicated W‑Engine banners.
New W‑Engines, Bangboo, and banner pool changes
The livestream also confirms a small but important set of equipment and companion changes:
- New S‑Rank W‑Engines: Thoughtbop and Angel in The Shell are introduced as signatures for Sunna and Aria, respectively.
- New S‑Rank Bangboo: Biggest Fan joins as an Angels of Delusion‑aligned Bangboo.
- Banner pool expansion: Biggest Fan is added to the Outstanding Partner Bangboo banner pool from Version 2.6 onward.
Pull availability follows the usual structure: the W‑Engines appear in their dedicated signal searches during 2.6, while Biggest Fan is folded into the permanent Outstanding Partner banner rotation.
Story content and map additions shown in the livestream
On the story side, 2.6 centers on Angels of Delusion’s rise, framed as a Season 2 interlude episode.
- Main Story update: Season 2 Interlude “Encore for an Old Dream” focuses on the idols of Angels of Delusion and the Yearlight Ceremony.
- New city area: 404 Livehouse on Sixth Street is introduced as a new explorable map and performance venue for Angels of Delusion.
These additions are explicitly tied to the new characters’ narrative arc rather than being generic side content.
New outfits highlighted during the 2.6 program
The special program showcases three outfits that go live with Version 2.6, with different acquisition methods:
- Sunna – “Afternoon Tea Break”: a maid‑style costume available for purchase in the in‑game shop once 2.6 is live.
- Aria – “Discordant Note”: a darker idol look, also added to the shop with the new version.
- Pan Yinhu – “Culinary Jewel”: an event outfit obtainable for free through participation in the “A Harmony of Delusions” event.
For shop outfits, the state is simple: they appear in the cosmetic shop catalog after updating to 2.6. For Pan Yinhu’s costume, the unlock condition is tied to that specific event’s reward track.
Combat and Hollow Zero changes previewed
Combat‑focused players get a smaller segment in the livestream, but with clear implications:
- Hollow Zero updates: new Tactical Prisms are added for older agents.
- Loot changes: additional items are introduced to the Hollow Zero reward pool.
The behavior of Hollow Zero as a mode does not change; instead, the content and reward tables expand, making it more relevant to both legacy and new characters.
Where to watch the 2.6 livestream or VOD
The 2.6 special program is distributed across Zenless Zone Zero’s official broadcast channels. To replay it or catch language‑specific versions, use one of the official listings:
- The official YouTube channel at youtube.com/@ZZZ_Official.
- The official Twitch category for Zenless Zone Zero at twitch.tv/zenlesszonezero when live runs occur.
Livestream codes remain valid only for a limited period after the broadcast, so the safest move is to redeem DREAMINGANGEL and the smaller companion codes as soon as possible and verify that the mail rewards arrive on your main account.
