Some Zenless Zone Zero players are upset that, following the recent Update 1.4, they can no longer look up at their character’s panties. With the eagerly awaited Update 1.4, Zenless Zone Zero received new characters and a new part of the main story, but what seems to be dominating the discourse around the patch is an otherwise small change that has been deemed “censorship” by part of the player base.

The release of Update 1.4 for Zenless Zone Zero was supposed to be a big day for fans, but the community seems greatly unhappy with one change brought by the update: players can no longer peek at their character's panties. The patch notes of Update 1.4 state “when viewed from specific angles, the agent will appear faded,” which essentially prevents gamers from adjusting the camera to look underneath a character’s skirt. This change did not sit well with portions of the community, and it’s not hard to find upset players who are accusing HoYoverse of censoring the game. Some of the arguments include people stating that they spent money on the gacha to unlock specific characters and that this is an unfair alteration that they didn't anticipate.

Zenless Zone Zero Fans Accuse New Update of "Censoring" the Game

Unfortunately, HoYoverse has not addressed the controversy, and it’s not currently known why the change was made. While it’s possible that the change was enforced due to the game's age rating, it’s impossible to know without official comments. HoYoverse has also been generally receptive to feedback, so it’s possible that this adjustment could be reverted.

Apart from this controversial change, the new update brings several improvements to Zenless Zone Zero. For instance, the PS5 and PS5 Pro versions of Zenless Zone Zero will now have ray-tracing support, and two S-Rank agents have been added to the game: Hoshimi Miyabi, and Asaba Harumasa.

Hopefully, upcoming updates will be more well-received by the community. Earlier this week, HoYoverse revealed a new S-Rank agent for Version 1.5 of Zenless Zone Zero, Astro Yao. The new character will be part of the “Stars of Lyra” faction and has already been confirmed to be an Ether Support character. Right now, it’s believed that Update 1.5 will be available on January 21, 2025.

Don't go into the Hollows.
I know, I know, there's Ether in the Hollows, bizarre creations, even heritage of the old civilization, all precious treasures. But don't forget, there's also spatial disorder, monsters and mutants running rampant, and ultimately, a disaster that could swallow the world. They are not a place where ordinary people should go.
So don't go into Hollows.
Or at least, don't go in alone.
If you insist on getting into danger, go to New Eridu first.
This city where the good and the bad mix has many people who need the Hollows: Powerful wealthy tycoons, gangs that stalk the streets, conspiracy nuts, and ruthless officials.
Make your preparations there, find strong allies, and most importantly—
Find a "Proxy".
Only they can guide people out of the maze-like Hollows.
Good luck!
