New Zenless Zone Zero Character Is Grace Howard

Following the new Zenless Zone Zero trailer, HoYoVerse revealed the identity of new character Grace Howard. She will be playable and is aligned with Belobog Heavy Industries.

Three images were released alongside the character showing details about her. Characters named Gear, Oil, Screw, and Wrench all offered “testimonials” about her. She’s mentioned as being caring, logical, and smart. 

We actually got a peek at this Belobog Industries character in action, as Grace Howard appeared in the newest Zenless Zone Zero trailer. She showed up after the 1:30 mark of the video, when we see the game’s avatar and associate get a commission from the company. During the gameplay footage portion, we see her use bombs and a gun against an opponent.

This also marks another instance of HoYoVerse referencing entities from one game in another. In Honkai: Star Rail, people who go to the planet Jarilo VI can visit the city of Belobog. The ruler of that area is Bronya, and an alternate version of her debuted in Honkai Impact 3rd.

Zenless Zone Zero is currently in development for PCs, mobile devices, and unspecified consoles. A second Equalizing Test closed beta will appear on PC and mobile devices in the near future.
