Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) Banner 2026 Schedule: Current, Next, and Upcoming Banners

Quick Preview Table

Version 2.8 — Krampus Arrives, Pubsec Expands

Version 2.8 is shaping up to be the patch that finally pulls the Krampus Compliance Authority into the spotlight. Promeia is the S-Rank Ice Anomaly agent leak communities have been buzzing about — a high-ranking judge from the faction who first appeared in the Version 2.6 Season 2 Interlude “Encore for an Old Dream.” Her cold, composed design has generated plenty of discussion among fans. Element-wise, Ice is now confirmed, with her kit heavily tied to Anomaly Mastery.

The second half of 2.8 is expected to feature Billy SP as the second new S-Rank. A Harumasa rerun is also being widely rumored as a likely companion banner in Phase 2, which would be welcome news for anyone who skipped his first run. Notably, the new Public Security Bureau member teased in the story — Seth’s older brother Severian — is not arriving in 2.8. He is positioned as a high-tier (Void Hunter-level) PubSec agent for a later version.

Version 2.9 — The Calm Before the Storm

Version 2.9 is still a blank page in the leak community. The current consensus on Reddit is that 2.9 will likely be a transitional patch—think story content, possible reruns, and maybe a new A-Rank—before the big 3.0 anniversary drop. Don't blow your savings here unless something unexpected gets confirmed closer to release.

Version 3.0 — The Lady Sunbringer Arc Begins

This is the one players are watching most closely. Version 3.0 is expected to mark a major new story arc centered on the Lady Sunbringer faction. Two new characters—currently referred to as Verina and Norma—are rumored to debut across both phases.

What makes 3.0 especially interesting is the power level framing: the Lady Sunbringer won't carry a "Void Hunter" title, but according to intel from the Reddit ZZZ community hub, her strength is expected to be on par with Void Hunters. On top of that, she's reportedly a hybrid-element character, similar to Yi Xuan, which opens up completely new team-building possibilities. If that plays out, 3.0 could be the most pull-worthy update since the Angels of Delusion arc.

How Pity Works on Any ZZZ Banner

Look, the gacha system in this game isn't complicated, but a lot of players still get caught off guard. Whether you're pulling on the current zzz banner or saving for one further out, the math stays the same. Here's what you actually need to know.

Soft Pity Starts Around 75

Technically, S-Ranks are guaranteed within 90 pulls. But in reality, most people won't go that far. Once you hit around 75 pulls, your odds start climbing in a big way—that's the soft pity kicking in. If you're budgeting, planning for around 80 pulls per S-Rank is usually a safe bet.

The 50/50 and How to Beat It

Here's the thing about the zzz banner schedule that trips people up: the 50/50 rule. When you pull an S-Rank, there's a coin flip's chance it's the featured character. If you lose that flip, your next S-Rank is guaranteed to be the banner unit. That guarantee carries over between banners, but the featured counter resets. So if you really want someone like Nangong Yu, having 180 pulls saved (that's about 28,800 Polychromes) means you walk away with them no matter what.
