Version 2.4 will have a worldwide launch on November 26, 2025, according to several sources. The patch will have two parts to its banner schedule:
- Phase 1: Runs from launch on November 26 until approximately December 17, 2025.
- Phase 2: Runs from about December 17 until approximately December 29 for its duration.
Having the banners in two phases allows players to earn a new S-Rank in each half along with a rerun.

Key Takeaways & Player Strategy
Banner Timing: Since Phase 1 begins immediately when 2.4 releases, people who want Dialyn or Hugo should be ready as soon as possible. For people more interested in Banyue or Ellen, waiting until Phase 2 might be best.
Resource Management: If you want multiple agents or reruns, splitting your Polychromes across both phases could add some more value.
Rerun Value: Both Hugo (during Phase 1) and Ellen (during Phase 2) are solid chances for players who missed them last time.
Weapon Focus: Both phases have an exclusive S-Rank W-Engine paired with their featured S-Rank agent which can be really helpful if you’re optimizing W-Engines during your builds.
Meta Considerations: Because Dialyn’s kit focuses on stun and Banyue’s gameplay is focused on rupture this adds a dynamic when building teams where the timing of the phase matters.
Conclusion
ZZZ Version 2.4 has a well-sorted banner roadmap that combines new S-Ranks with reruns into two separate phases. Phase 1 runs from ~26-Nov to ~17-Dec and includes both Dialyn and Hugo, while Phase 2 runs from ~17-Dec to ~29-Dec and includes Banyue and Ellen. Banner progressions are particularly rich, blending with powerful A-Rank support and signature W-Engines.
