Is Hoshimi Miyabi Missing in Patch 1.4? What Happened to Her Release?

Zenless Zone Zero players are starting to worry: it looks like Hoshimi Miyabi might not be coming in Patch 1.4 after all.

Yesterday, the official Zenless Zone Zero Twitter account revealed Asaba Harumasa, one of the new characters expected in the upcoming patch.

Normally, this would be followed by the reveal of the second banner character the next day, but instead, Hoyoverse has only showcased Yanagi's new W-Engine today. This lack of a second character announcement is making fans increasingly concerned that Miyabi will be absent from Patch 1.4.

This is especially surprising considering that Hoyoverse has recently been making visual design changes to Miyabi's in-game model as shown in a recent livestream.

It's common for Hoyoverse games to begin rerunning in their 1.4 patches. Honkai Star Rail introduced its first rerun in Patch 1.4 with Seele, and Genshin Impact featured exclusively rerun banners of popular characters Childe and Venti in its own version 1.4. This trend suggests that Zenless Zone Zero may be taking a similar approach, which could mean that a rerun banner is on the way instead of a second new character.

One popular theory circulating among the community is that Ellen Joe might be making her first return in Patch 1.4. If this is the case, it would fit the pattern of reruns seen in other Hoyoverse games. This also raises interesting possibilities for Patch 1.5—if Miyabi debuts then, players could see two Ice DPS characters releasing back-to-back, which might significantly impact team-building and powercreep.

Another idea spreading is simply that Miyabi will instead be announced at a later date, such as after the weekend or in the patch 1.4 livestream itself. Let us know your thoughts!

I read that apparently they do not announce character's on weekends and that Asaba Harumasa was announce earlier than "usual" due to the way the patch cycle would line up. By following their "usual" announcement pattern (And taking this weekend into account) whoever may be the second character to drop in 1.4 would not be announced until AFTER Burnice's banner ends; which would be a bit too odd, so instead they dropped Asaba earlier than usual and should hopefully reveal the next character on Monday so that people still have 1 work-day left to decide on Burnice with the knowledge of who will drop in 1.4

Personally I'd not mind if they did not drop 2 new characters as I'd not want to see ZZZ end up like Genshin; Having a ton of excess characters that kinda has no real home in teams due to there always being "better options" and some characters not having seen re-runs in like a year and a half.

Personally i'd love a slow down on the S-Rank characters and instead use that time to make more A-Rank's. The game has a real lack of them currently which while great for mindscape collecting does mean theres less variety on banners. 

Going the support route like Soukaku would then be ideal as a DPS A-Rank would be not worth it, but Genshin has done really well recently with 4-Stars with the likes of Kuki, Gaming, Chevreuse, Faruzan which are more dedicated to specific setups where they shine.

      Zenless Zone Zero 1.6 Leak Reveals Astra, Anby, and Trigger Rotation
      By Jaym0
      New Version 1.6 leaks showcase a sample rotation featuring Astra, the highly anticipated Anby, and Trigger! Learn more about it here!
      A new leak for Zenless Zone Zero version 1.6 has surfaced, showing a sample rotation featuring Astra Yao, Silver Soldier Anby (or SsAnby, SAnby), and Trigger. This was shared by Leifa, giving us a first look at how these Agents might work together.
      You can check the rotation out on the following reddit post:
      Since Silver Soldier Anby requires a lot of field time, she seems to work really good with both Trigger and Astra who can both do their job off-field. The only down-point of this team would be the lack of swapping that Astra may usually need. Ss Anby and Trigger's kits can of course still change until they release.
      Another test was also made recently, but with Pulchra instead of Astra, if you want to have a look as well:
