HoYoverse has officially revealed the first gameplay footage of Robin and Kafka in Zenless Zone Zero as part of its collaboration with Honkai: Star Rail, as they will be available as playable agents in Version 3.4.
In this new trailer, titled Unidentified Transmission, we get a look at how both characters work, their abilities, and how they’ve adapted to the fast-paced gameplay of Zenless Zone Zero.
Robin’s gameplay stands out for its musicality
Robin, the melodious singer from Penacony, has brought her greatest talent to New Eridu. Her performance is heavily focused on her singing skills, featuring a wide array of meticulously crafted effects.
Unlike her original appearance in Honkai: Star Rail, where she follows the Harmony Path and specializes in supporting her teammates, Robin will be an S-Rank Ether Defense Agent in Zenless Zone Zero.
The truth is that this specialty suits her very well, since Robin will likely be quite focused on helping her teammates on the field, as her skills suggest.
The trailer also features visual elements inspired by the character’s signature moves from Honkai: Star Rail, allowing it to retain its recognizable identity while adapting to real-time combat.
Kafka’s gameplay showcases her signature style
Kafka also makes an impressive appearance in the new trailer, bringing her iconic fighting style to Zenless Zone Zero.
It’s impossible not to recognize many of the animations during gameplay—it’s as if we’ve known them our whole lives. After all, that’s exactly what you’d expect from an adaptation of Kafka into an action game.
Sword attacks, threads, and dual submachine guns… exactly what someone would expect, reflecting several of her most recognizable combat animations, including a clear nod to its Ultimate.
In Zenless Zone Zero, Kafka will be an S-Rank Electric Anomaly Agent, a specialization that fits her so well, given her association with damage-over-time mechanics in Honkai: Star Rail.
Robin and Kafka will be coming to Zenless Zone Zero in version 3.4, scheduled for December 2, 2026, a massive update that will bring a ton of new content, including the new Void Hunter, Sunbringer, whom we talked about not too long ago.
