Hoyoverse just lit the fuse on Zenless Zone Zero's 3.0 banners with a teaser dropping voice actors for 10 new faces, confirming Roscaelifer duo Norma (fire breakthrough) and Velina (wind anomaly) as the first playable S-ranks to hit the gacha. Pyrois from Phaethon is also debuting, because why not make F2P accounts sweat harder? This all ties into the 'Before the Wind Rises' event, where the full cast gets screen time in a trailer full of ominous vibes and killer line delivery.

Voice cast is stacked: Velina gets Chiwa Saito (JP, queen of sultry killers) and Wang Xiaotong (CN, Dolly from Genshin), Norma with Fuka Izumi (JP) and Madeline Dorroh (EN). Big names like Toshiyuki Morikawa (Severian JP) and Kana Ueda (Claret JP) mean these lines will slap harder than a 180-pull drought. The rest—Phoenix, Remielle, Roxy, Sigrid, Storyteller, Sunbringer—sound primed for Hoyo's usual 'pay to hear her whisper sweet nothings' scam. Devs know whales like me can't resist a good VA flex.

X is already a warzone: some plebs moaning about 'over-the-top designs' and no furries or dudes, while real ones like @_latinfav ask for pull plans. F2P cope incoming—'saving for reruns' they say, as I light another cig and check my crystal reserves. 3.0 follows 2.8 on May 6 across PS5, Xbox, PC, mobile, with Steam inbound; Hoyo banking on fresh waifus to juice the revenue after 2.0 highs.

Expect the usual: two S-ranks per patch minimum, and these 10 are just the appetizer. Whales, dust off the credit cards—your liver's about to fund another Hoyo yacht.
