Evidence

News summary

HoYoverse announced the Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.2 special program for August 28, 2026 at 19:30 UTC+8. The announcement names the update "Their Secret Histories" and says the program would be broadcast through the official YouTube, Twitch and TikTok channels.

The scheduled program date has passed. This article keeps the original pre-program angle, while the later written Version 3.2 update notice supplies the live update status. It does not use the old teaser as evidence for final character kits, event details or PC performance.

Evidence

What the pre-program notice confirmed

The official announcement placed the livestream at 19:30 UTC+8 on August 28. It also said that an exclusive redemption code would be dropped during the livestream. The code is not in the written announcement, so third party code lists are outside this report.

HoYoverse framed the story setup around the unresolved Bangboo manipulation case. The announcement said that the mastermind remained at large and that Lady Dracaene, who had been stripped of her Karma Core, had not recovered from her injuries. These details are presented as the publisher's story teaser, not as a complete plot summary.

The post pointed toward Flint Workshop in Vyrium. It named the workshop director, Claret, and her assistant, Roxy, as characters who would investigate the next clues. The announcement did not state how much playable content the story thread would contain or when the related missions would unlock.

Section 03

Where to watch

The Version 3.2 announcement[2] said the program would be broadcast on the official Zenless Zone Zero YouTube, Twitch and TikTok channels. That written announcement remains the evidence for the historical announcement. The channels themselves are distribution routes, not sources, so no video link is cited here and no claim in this report rests on one.

The announcement did not say whether a replay would be kept, for how long or on which channel. This article does not promise a replay.

The planned start time was expressed in UTC+8. Readers in other regions should convert the historical time locally instead of relying on a copied countdown. HoYoverse did not include a local time table in the announcement.

Evidence

What the later update notice confirms

The official Version 3.2 update announcement[1], dated September 9, says that the update began at 06:00 UTC+8 after about five hours of maintenance. It lists 300 Polychromes for server update compensation and another 300 for issue-fix compensation, subject to the notice's eligibility and claim windows.

The same notice says that Version 3.2 runs for 42 days and ends on October 21, 2026 at 06:00 UTC+8. It names the new S-Rank Agents Claret, an Electric Armorer, and Roxy, a Wind Stun Agent, and lists new W-Engines, story content, areas and events. These are written update-note claims, not RigCircuit client findings.

Section 05

What PC readers should know

The later update notice gives a PC update path: exit the game, restart it and select the update when the launcher offers it. It does not give a system requirement or a graphics option, and RigCircuit has not measured frame rate, loading time, input latency or network behaviour for the current Zenless Zone Zero PC client.

The update notice gives the maintenance and end times in UTC+8. It also sets eligibility and claim windows for compensation. Readers should use the official notice that applies to their own region and account rather than assume identical delivery conditions.

A written update notice can establish release timing and listed content without providing a performance result or driver guidance. RigCircuit has not turned these notes into Hardware or Setups conclusions.

Section 06

What the live notice does not settle

The notice does not provide a benchmark, a frame-rate result, a complete platform comparison or a client capture. It also does not turn the earlier story teaser into a complete plot summary. This article keeps the dated announcement and the later written update separate.

The earlier announcement did not publish the redemption code or its expiry time. This article does not add code instructions or reward values that are absent from the written sources.

The later update notice names Claret and Roxy as new S-Rank Agents, but this article does not infer mission structure, combat roles beyond the notice's labels or account availability from that listing.

Evidence record

What this report does not claim

This article does not claim that every detail from the August program announcement is a final client feature. The September 9 written notice confirms the live update date, compensation, duration and listed content, but this report does not publish an unverified redemption code or report benchmark results, system requirements, frame rate changes or driver recommendations.

The selected illustrative hero is self-hosted under the dated WordPress path. Its source, rights record, crop context, credit and hash are in the frontmatter and visual register. It is illustrative media, not evidence of the special program.

The article is also not an approved keyword brief. The repository has no dedicated News Keyword Planner export, so the primary keyword remains empty until the owner validates one.

Evidence record

Source and method note

The primary source is the official Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.2 special program announcement dated August 24, 2026, published on the publisher's own game domain. The later Version 3.2 update announcement is dated September 9, 2026. Both pages were rechecked on September 19, 2026. The first source controls the historical program notice, and the second controls the live update status.

The official YouTube channel is recorded in the source list only because the announcement named it as a broadcast route. A video channel is not used as evidence here. The dated update notice on zenless.hoyoverse.com supplies the later patch details instead.
