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

Recommended Posts

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.

      Patch 1.3 came with visual design adjustments for the character Hoshimi Miyabi. Read on to learn about some of the visual changes as well as a comparison before and after.
      With the Virtual Revenge update for Zenless Zone Zero came a number of quality of life improvements. One highly anticipated adjustment was an update to the visual design for Hoshimi Miyabi. 
      Some visual changes were subtle while others have been quite significant with the focus of these changes being around Miyabi's head, eyes and hair to being things in-line with her initial promotional material after feedback from the fans at the launch of the game. 

      This comparison from the ZZZ_Offical subreddit is one of the clearest comparisons available with Miyabi being in the exact same setting and lighting. Overall the player reception has been positive to these changes.
      A direct comparison video has also been created by the YouTube channel Streetwise Rhapsody making it easy to see what Miyabi looks like before and after.

      Could Zenless Zone Zero's next major patch bring players a surprise gift? A recent leak suggests that Asaba Harumasa, the highly anticipated Electric agent, might be joining your roster for free! Here's everything we know about this rumor.
      Placeholder for tweet 1852200180616982919 Exciting news has surfaced for Zenless Zone Zero fans: according to reliable leaker @hxg_diluc, Asaba Harumasa, the highly anticipated Electric Anomaly agent set to release in Patch 1.4, may be offered for free. This leak has sparked a wave of anticipation among players who are eager to see how this potential giveaway will play out.
      Placeholder for tweet 1854395592136695924 Free characters have occurred in other Hoyo games before. Players are speculating that Asaba Harumasa might be part of a special event reward tied to The Game Awards, which will be held on December 13th. This theory comes from a similar move by Hoyoverse when Honkai Star Rail gave out the character Dr. Ratio for free. This means proxies could be in for a real treat.
      Of course, while the leak from @hxg_diluc is promising with dilic being a very reliable leaker, it’s important to remember that this information is still subject to change. Until official confirmation from Hoyoverse is released, fans should take these details with a grain of caution.
      For those eager to prepare for Asaba Harumasa’s potential release, be sure to check out our comprehensive Asaba Harumasa Guide for the best builds, team strategies, and guide which will be updated as we learn about their kit. Whether you end up adding him to your roster for free or pull for additional Mindscapes, you’ll want to make sure you’re fully equipped to utilize him fully.

      Patch 1.3 Virtual Revenge has a new Softlock during the special.episode questline. Read on to learn how to avoid this bug.
      The bug has been patched now!
      This Softlock was shared by user Good_Sandwich8309 on the zzz subreddit where they outline exactly what happened to them. Other users in the comments also mentioned that this has occured in their games too meaning this is something important that proxies should look out for until the eventual hotfix by the developers.
      This bug seems to be primarily impacting PC players with some players mentioning it has been fine on mobile devices. If you have this softlock, you may need to download the mobile client and play through this part of the quest on your mobile device to fix your issue until a patch is issued.
      Significant bugs are quite rare in Hoyovserse games, and on occasions when discovered, are often patched quickly. Instead for the day maybe avoid the special episode until patched.

      Patch 1.3 of Zenless Zone Zero has a surprising change with Voice Actor changes happening again in EN.
      Most notably from recent patch notes , Soukaku’s English voice actor has changed for the third time, marking a another change for the character's voice lines. This comes as a suprise to many members of the community due to 3 voice actors by the third patch of the game is an impressive rotation, causing players to speculate. 
      Some proxies have been speculating that this could be as a result of the recent strikes which have impacted the voice acting in Genshin Impact's Archon and Event quests. On the other hand, some players have been speculating that the second voice actor was only temporary with their voice sounding very similar to Paimon. Although we've never had confirmation of any of Soukaku's English voices so far.
