Another Section 6 Agent joins Zenless Zone Zero’s playable roster after Yanagi.
HoYoverse’s latest drip marketing for Zenless Zone Zero has unveiled a new playable Agent expected to launch in Version 1.4: Asaba Harumasa. Harumasa is an Electric Attack agent much like Anton Ivanov, hailing from the Hollow Special Operations Section 6 faction. That means he’ll join his fellow colleagues Tsukishiro Yanagi, Soukaku, and hopefully Hoshimi Miyabi when he arrives in-game.
HoYoverse reveals upcoming Zenless Zone Zero Agent Asaba Harumasa
Zenless Zone Zero has unveiled an upcoming playable Agent: Asaba Harumasa, an Electric Attack Agent whom players might have already bumped shoulders with in previous missions dealing with the Hollow Special Operations Section 6 faction. Harumasa works alongside Soukaku and Tsukishiro Yanagi in Section 6, taking on powerful threats emerging from or related to the Hollows.
Yanagi isn’t playable in the game yet, however – she’s set to make her debut in the first half of the upcoming Version 1.3 update, taking over the S-Rank banner from Burnice White. In the second half of the banner, Lighter from the Sons of Calydon faction will be available to pull in the S-Rank banner. Lighter will likely be followed by Harumasa in Version 1.4, unless the latter breaks HoYoverse's usual drip marketing pattern and shows up in the back half of Version 1.4 instead.
According to today’s newly-released Agent Record, Harumasa is described as a “laid-back” Section 6 Agent who works under Yanagi and Hoshimi Miyabi. He seems reluctant to work overtime, but is altogether eager to take sick days. Either he’s faking or he really is very ill. Miyabi describes him as “stronger than he appears” while Soukaku claims that he takes his coffee black.
A so-called “former colleague” of Harumasa claims that he’s just a “coward watching from the sidelines” whereas a superior remarks that he used to be “full of enthusiasm for everything” before something ominous happened to his master. That makes a worthy mystery to pad out a future Agent Story episode, perhaps.
Given HoYoverse’s usual drip marketing timing, we should catch a glimpse of Version 1.4’s second S-Rank pull tomorrow. That will likely be Hoshimi Miyabi, an S-Rank Agent who appeared in the game’s beta version a while back, and has since made multiple in-game story appearances.
In the meantime, here’s everything you need to know about Zenless Zone Zero’s upcoming Version 1.3 update.
