Time until Banyue releases in Zenless Zone Zero

Banyue is heading to the second phase of the Zenless Zone Zero 2.4 update, which kicks off on December 17, 2025. This Intelligent Construct from the Krampus Compliance Authority faction is a Rupture specialist. He employs the Fire attribute to attack enemies and uses nothing but bare hands to batter them up.
