Zenless Zone Zero Hoshimi Miyabi: Leaks & everything we know

Hoshimi Miyabi is an upcoming Ice character who will be released in a future Zenless Zone Zero update, so here’s everything we know about her abilities, lore, and how she’ll function in-game.

Zenless Zone Zero is filled with plenty of characters for players to unlock, and while many are currently rolling on the Zhu Yuan banner, there are several unreleased characters on the horizon. One of these is none other than the esteemed Section 6 leader, Hoshimi Miyabi.

This deadly Ice and Slash-type character is renowned for her deadly sword attacks, which will likely make her a popular pick amongst Raiden Shogun mains.

So, if you’re looking to prepare your Polychromes for the upcoming banner or just want to know what to expect when Miyabi makes her debut, then here’s everything you need to know. 

Is there a Hoshimi Miyabi release date?

No, HoYoverse has yet to reveal an official release date for Hoshimi Miyabi.

However, leakers believe she will make her debut in the 1.3 update, alongside fellow Section 6 members Harumasa and Yanagi. This would make sense considering the devs release characters based on their factions.

For example, we currently know that Criminal Investigation Special Response Team members: Qingyi, Jane Doe, and Seth Lowell are all meant to make their appearance in the 1.1 update.

Character details

Hoshimi Miyabi is a Slash-type character who utilizes her deadly Ice attacks to eliminate her enemies. Miyabi is also the head of Hollow Special Operations Section 6, and the successor of a renowned martial arts family in New Eridu.

As the leader of Section 6, Miyabi has a strong sense of responsibility for maintaining order. She maintains this “order” by striking fear into her enemies by using her renowned sword skills to slice through any would-be threats.

The mayor of New Eridu also famously gave Miyabi the title of “Void Hunter”, making her the youngest member amongst those that fight the Hollows.
