Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.1 Pre-Registration Event: First-Generation Void Hunter Returns
The Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.1 pre-registration event is now live, offering Polychrome, a commemorative namecard, and physical prizes.
Called “First-Generation Void Hunter Returns,” the event combines pre-registration, friend invitations, original work collection, daily login rewards, and a webpage lucky draw. The full event runs from July 17, 2026, to September 9, 2026, at 05:59 (UTC+8).
Players who pre-register can receive 160 Polychrome and an in-game commemorative namecard. Additional rewards are available by inviting friends, collecting original works, and completing the seven-day in-game check-in.
Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.1 Event Overview
The Version 3.1 campaign offers several separate ways to earn rewards, so players should understand the event structure before participating.
The main pre-registration and original work collection phase ends earlier than the overall returning-player event. Players therefore have until July 29, 2026, at 05:59 (UTC+8) to complete those specific activities.
After that deadline, the returning-player portion continues through September 9.
| Event Activity | Main Reward | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Version 3.1 pre-registration | Polychrome ×160 and commemorative namecard | Until July 29, 2026 |
| Friend invitation and registration | Up to Polychrome ×340 | During the event |
| Seven-day in-game check-in | Polychrome ×480 | After Version 3.1 begins |
| Original work collection | Commemorative namecard | Until July 29, 2026 |
| Webpage lucky draw | Physical prizes and merchandise | Until September 9, 2026 |
This means the campaign is not limited to one reward claim. Players can participate in several activities and collect rewards from different parts of the event.
How the First-Generation Void Hunter Returns Event Works
The event is divided into a pre-registration campaign and a returning-player campaign.
The first stage focuses on preparing for Version 3.1. Players can pre-register, collect original works, invite friends, and work toward the commemorative rewards.
The second stage keeps the social and lucky-draw elements available after the pre-registration period closes.
Pre-Register for Version 3.1
Pre-registration provides 160 Polychrome and an in-game commemorative namecard.
Players need to complete the required pre-registration steps through the official event webpage. After Version 3.1 goes live, eligible rewards can be claimed through in-game mail.
Players should also complete the original work collection requirements to receive the corresponding commemorative namecard.
The official event page is the correct place to complete the registration process and review the current requirements.
Invite Friends to Earn More Polychrome
Friend invitations provide another reward path, with up to 340 additional Polychrome available.
The invitation system has an important requirement for returning, new, or inactive Proxies. If the person receiving the invitation is not already classified as a Returning Proxy, they must first connect their return invitation code.
They then need to access the webpage again through the exclusive invitation link.
The invitation is considered successful only after the invited player completes pre-registration and receives the “Support Successful” notification.
This extra step matters because simply sending or opening an invitation does not automatically count toward the inviter’s progress.
Collect Original Works to Unlock the Commemorative Namecard
The Original Works collection system gives players another way to complete the Version 3.1 campaign.
Players can collect original works through the event webpage and exchange duplicate works with friends. This makes duplicate items useful rather than wasted.
The goal is to complete the entire original work collection. Once all required works have been collected, players can unlock the commemorative namecard.
How Original Work Trading Works
Duplicate original works can be gifted to other players.
This system encourages players to coordinate with friends instead of relying entirely on random collection. Players who receive duplicate pieces can therefore help others complete their collections.
The official event also directs players to the #RemielleCollection topic on HoYoLAB for trading.
For players interested in Zenless Zone Zero collectibles, this part of the event is also notable because it connects an in-game reward system with physical merchandise-related prizes elsewhere in the campaign. At Animon Life, official HoYoverse merchandise is also tracked within the broader North American collector market. However, the event itself does not state that Animon Life distributes these specific prizes.
Seven-Day Login Event Offers 480 Polychrome
The in-game “First-Generation Void Hunter Returns” check-in event provides 480 Polychrome for logging in on seven total days.
This reward is separate from the 160 Polychrome offered through pre-registration.
Players should therefore treat the webpage registration and in-game check-in as two different activities. Completing one does not replace the other.
The seven-day requirement is based on total login days rather than one continuous seven-day session. Players should still check the in-game event interface for the exact claim requirements after Version 3.1 launches.
Version 3.1 Lucky Draw Includes Major Physical Prizes
The webpage lucky draw gives participants a chance to win physical prizes, including an iPhone 17 Pro Max with 1TB storage and an Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Edition.
The prize pool also includes Razer collaboration merchandise and Zenless Zone Zero-themed collectible items.
| Lucky Draw Prize | Quantity |
|---|---|
| iPhone 17 Pro Max 1TB | 1 |
| Razer × Zenless Zone Zero Collaboration | 5 |
| Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Edition | 10 |
| Delusional Fantasies Series: Badge & Photocard Set, all 3 designs | 200 |
| Plush Keychain Surprise Box, random design | 200 |
The quantities make the prize pool heavily weighted toward collectible merchandise rather than high-value electronics.
The Delusional Fantasies Series badge and photocard set has 200 available prizes, while another 200 winners can receive a random plush keychain surprise box.
Physical Zenless Zone Zero merchandise is also part of the broader collector ecosystem surrounding the game. Licensed retailers such as Animon Life may be relevant to North American fans seeking official merchandise, although the prizes listed above are specifically tied to this event’s lucky draw.
When Does the Event End?
The complete First-Generation Void Hunter Returns campaign ends on September 9, 2026, at 05:59 (UTC+8).
However, players must remember that the pre-registration and Original Works collection period ends earlier.
Important Event Deadlines
The pre-registration and original work collection phase closes on July 29, 2026, at 05:59 (UTC+8).
The wider returning event continues until September 9, 2026, at 05:59 (UTC+8).
This creates two important deadlines rather than one. Players who wait until August or September will miss the opportunity to complete the original pre-registration collection phase.
What Happens After July 29?
The returning-player event remains available after the pre-registration phase ends.
Players can access “Return to Ridu: Feathers of Reunion” through the event webpage. This later phase allows players to invite friends to return to Zenless Zone Zero or encourage new players to register.
The webpage lucky draw also remains part of the wider campaign until the final event deadline.
This means July 29 is not the end of every activity. It only marks the end of the pre-registration and Original Works collection portion.
How to Get the Most From the Event
Players should complete pre-registration before focusing on the longer-running activities.
First, complete the Version 3.1 pre-registration requirements. Then, collect original works and trade duplicates with friends. Once Version 3.1 launches, complete the seven-day login requirement.
Players who have eligible friends can also use the invitation system to work toward the additional 340 Polychrome.
Finally, participants can enter the webpage lucky draw and check the official event rules for eligibility, prize conditions, and other requirements.
