New Eridu's about to get a whole lot richer and rowdier, folks! HoYoverse's urban chaos simulator is unleashing its colossal Version 2.0 update on June 6th, 2025, and it’s raining Polychromes harder than a malfunctioning soda vending machine in Sixth Street. Proxies everywhere are polishing their TVs and warming up their credit cards because this ain’t just an update—it’s a full-blown loot typhoon with extra dragons on the side.

Waifei Peninsula: Chopsticks, Cherry Blossoms & Combat

Say goodbye to grimy alleyways and hello to lantern-lit streets! Version 2.0 drags players kicking and screaming into the China-themed Waifei Peninsula, where neon signs flicker with ancient symbols and the dumplings probably explode. This new sector isn’t just wallpaper—it’s a playground crammed with fresh baddies, noodle-themed puzzles, and enough cultural flair to make a history teacher weep into their boba tea.

Gacha Glory: Polychrome Math That’ll Make Your Head Spin

Let’s cut to the chase: how many shiny rocks can you hoard? Some mad lad on the leaks subreddit crunched the numbers, and free-to-play Proxies are staring down a jaw-dropping loot haul:

Rewards Tier Encrypted Tapes Master Tapes Polychromes
F2P 26 18 21,530
Inter-Knot Pass 26 18 25,490
Pass + Battle Pass 30 18 26,270

That’s right—even without dropping a single Denny, you’re grabbing 26 Encrypted Tapes and 21k+ Polychromes. Buy the monthly pass? Boom, nearly 26k sparklies. Toss in the Premium Battle Pass? You’re swimming in 30 tapes and enough currency to pity-pull a S-Rank while sleepwalking. 💸

New Recruits & Rerun Roulette

Waifei Peninsula’s dropping three fresh faces into the proxy chaos:

  • Yixuan & Ju Fufu: Twin S-Rank terrors dripping with silk robes and particle effects (and Yixuan’s getting a swanky outfit too—fashion wins!).

  • Pan Yinhu: The obligatory 4-star underdog who probably has killer voice lines about steamed buns.

But wait! Banner insanity alert: Phase 1 pairs Yixuan’s debut with a rerun of everyone’s favorite healer, Astra Yao. Phase 2 throws Ju Fufu alongside Caesar (yes, that Version 1.2 queen). It’s like HoYoverse took a gacha shotgun to our wallets and pulled the trigger twice. 🎯

Anniversary Bash: Free Stuff & Xbox Invasion

Celebrating one year of dimensional disasters, HoYoverse is handing out goodies like candy:

  • FREE S-Rank character (pick from standard roster—no crummy 4-stars!)

  • FREE S-Rank W-Engine (because your current gear’s probably held together with duct tape)

And boom! Zenless Zone Zero finally crashes the Xbox party. Series X/S owners can now join the Proxy life without needing a fancy PC. Cross-play? Who knows—but controllers everywhere are trembling.

FAQ: Stuff You’re Secretly Dying to Ask

Q: Can F2P players realistically snag both new S-Ranks?

A: If you’ve saved since Version 1.0 and sacrifice sleep? Maybe. But Ju Fufu’s banner sharing with Caesar means RNGesus might spit in your ramen. Budget for one, pray for two.

Q: What’s the weirdest thing in Waifei Peninsula?

A: Leaked footage shows enemies wielding giant soup spoons. Also, rumored kung fu pigeons. Seriously.

Q: Do the new Proxy outfits affect stats?

A: Nah, but looking fly while kicking Voidrunner butt boosts morale. Style > substance, always.

Q: Will Xbox players miss anniversary rewards?

A: Nope! They get the free S-Ranks too. Welcome to the grind, console peasants.

Q: Is 26k Polychromes overkill?

A: HoYoverse knows you’ll blow it all on weapon banners anyway. They’re enabling our addiction, one tape at a time.
