In a fun Easter egg,Zenless Zone Zeroplayers who return to the game after going on a 14-day hiatus get a special welcome-back message from one of the in-game characters. The title lets players choose between two characters at the start, either Belle or her brother Wise, and depending on whom the player chooses, a “recorded” message will play when the right conditions are met.
After staying away from the game for at least 14 days, players who return toZenless Zone Zeroare greeted with a message from either Belle or Wise. The message players receivedepends on which character the player chose when they started the game.Those who chose Belle at the beginning will get a message from Wise and vice versa. A video shared on theZenless Zone ZeroX account shows the two different versions of the welcome back message.
The messages show up as incoming calls from either Belle or Wise. Both say the same thing, as they welcome the player back andask if they had a good time on their “trip.“Each of these pre-recorded messages relays that they’ve missed the player and notes that to celebrate their return home, they’ve prepared a few presents for them. This includes an extra special gift from one of the two siblings.
The new returning player’s rewards program,titled “Back in Business”,was recently added in Patch 1.2, and more details were shared on theZenless Zone Zerowebsite. To trigger the event, players must stay logged out of the game for at least 14 days and must have completed the Chapter 1 mission “Earlybird Ticket to Safety.“The program can only be triggered once every 40 days.Returning players will receive “one A-Rank-W-Engine, Polychromes, Master Tapes, and other rewards,” according to the website.
What ZZZ’s Welcome Back Messages Reveal About Belle And Wise
They’re Complete Polar Opposites
While the main idea of the messages is similar,how they’re delivered couldn’t possibly be more different.Belle’s personality is incredibly peppy and upbeat as she welcomes back her “bro,” Wise. She bounces around with non-stop energetic movementas she talks, imbuing the message with her bubbly personality. Wise, on the other hand, is much more subdued. He sits in front of the video screen practically unmoving. His movements and speech are less expressive, which reflects his more serious and laid-back personality.

Headphones are strongly recommended for this Zenless Zone Zero character highlight reel, which shows that one upcoming character has a ruthless side.
As Wise speaks, acute electronic Bangboomakes a photobombing appearance. Wise’s affectionate pat on its head expresses his caring nature. His laid-back personality makes him seem almost like he isn’t getting enough sleep.
