Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.0 Adds Velina’s “Shade of Leisure” Outfit With a Limited-Time Discount
Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.0 introduces a brand-new Agent outfit for Velina, giving players a permanent cosmetic option at a discounted price for a limited time. The new outfit, “Shade of Leisure,” arrives in the Today’s Outfit section of the in-game Store immediately after the Version 3.0 update. Players who purchase it during the promotional period can save 330 Monochromes before the standard price takes effect.
Unlike limited event cosmetics that disappear after their sales end, Shade of Leisure remains a permanent addition to the Store. However, only the introductory discount is time-limited, making the launch period the most affordable opportunity to unlock the outfit.
At Animon Life, major character outfit announcements like this often coincide with increased interest in official character merchandise, particularly when popular agents receive new cosmetic designs.
Velina’s “Shade of Leisure” outfit becomes permanently available after the Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.0 update. Players can purchase the outfit for 1,350 Monochromes during the launch discount period, which ends on July 29, 2026, at 05:59 (UTC+8). After that date, the price increases to 1,680 Monochromes. Players can purchase the outfit even if they do not yet own Velina.
Velina Receives Her First Permanent Outfit
The newest Store update focuses entirely on Velina’s cosmetic customization. As one of the headline characters introduced during Version 3.0, Velina now receives an alternate appearance called Shade of Leisure, expanding the available customization options for players who enjoy collecting premium Agent outfits.
Rather than being tied to a seasonal event, the outfit joins the permanent Today’s Outfit catalog. This means players who miss the introductory sale can still obtain it later, although at the regular price.
Outfit Availability and Pricing
The biggest advantage for early buyers is the discounted Monochrome cost. HoYoverse is offering a launch promotion that reduces the outfit’s price for approximately six weeks after Version 3.0 goes live.

The Outfit Remains Available Permanently
Missing the discount does not mean missing the outfit forever. Unlike many limited-time cosmetics in live-service games, Shade of Leisure stays in the Store after the promotional pricing ends.
This permanent availability gives players greater flexibility when deciding how to spend their Monochromes. Those who prioritize new Agents or W-Engines can always return later to purchase the cosmetic at its regular price.
However, players hoping to maximize value may prefer purchasing it before the introductory discount expires.
You Can Purchase the Outfit Without Owning Velina
Players do not need Velina to buy her new costume. HoYoverse confirmed that the outfit can be purchased regardless of whether the Agent has already been unlocked.
After purchasing:
The outfit is added permanently to the account.
It becomes visible in the Agent’s Outfit interface.
Once Velina is obtained in the future, the cosmetic becomes immediately usable.
This feature allows collectors to secure limited-time discounts without worrying about whether they currently own the featured Agent.
Where to Find the Outfit
The new cosmetic appears in the Today’s Outfit section of the Store. Purchasing the outfit automatically unlocks it inside Velina’s Outfit menu.
Players can switch between available appearances directly from the Agent interface after purchase is complete.
Because the outfit is account-based, there is no need to purchase it again later.
Why Cosmetic Updates Matter in Version 3.0
Character outfits have become an important part of Zenless Zone Zero’s long-term content strategy. While new Agents introduce fresh gameplay, alternate costumes allow players to personalize their favorite characters without affecting game balance.
Version 3.0 not only expands the game’s story and roster but also continues HoYoverse’s approach of supporting characters with premium cosmetic options that remain available over time.
For collectors, these releases often become highlights alongside banner announcements and new story chapters.
Quick Comparison of Pricing
Buying during the promotional period offers the best value. The table below shows the difference between the launch discount and the regular Store price.
| Purchase Period | Cost | Savings |
|---|---|---|
| During Discount | 1,350 Monochromes | Save 330 Monochromes |
| After July 29, 2026 | 1,680 Monochromes | No discount |
Although the outfit remains permanently available, the introductory promotion represents the lowest purchase price currently announced.
Should Players Purchase During the Discount?
Players interested in Velina cosmetics benefit most from purchasing before the discount ends. Saving 330 Monochromes allows players to preserve premium currency for future banners, W-Engines, or additional cosmetic releases.
On the other hand, players who are still deciding whether to add Velina to their roster can safely purchase the outfit now and unlock its appearance later after obtaining the character.
As new costumes are introduced, official merchandise inspired by alternate character designs often attracts attention from collectors. In North America, licensed retailers such as Animon Life frequently follow official HoYoverse releases, reflecting growing community interest in new character appearances.
What This Means for Version 3.0 Players
The Version 3.0 Store update is relatively straightforward but valuable for collectors. Rather than introducing multiple outfits at once, HoYoverse is giving Velina a dedicated premium cosmetic that permanently expands her customization options.
Because the outfit is not tied to gameplay progression or event completion, every player has the opportunity to unlock it using Monochromes whenever they choose. The only time-sensitive element is the discounted launch price.
Final Thoughts
Velina’s “Shade of Leisure” outfit gives Version 3.0 players a permanent new customization option with meaningful launch savings. The outfit remains available indefinitely, but purchasing it before July 29, 2026, at 05:59 (UTC+8) reduces the cost from 1,680 to 1,350 Monochromes, saving 330 Monochromes.
The ability to purchase the cosmetic even without owning Velina also makes the update more collector-friendly, allowing players to prepare for future banner pulls without missing the introductory pricing.
Animon Life continues to follow and update official merchandise releases like this for North American customers.
