HoYoverse Confirms ZZZ × Honkai: Star Rail Crossover — Pom-Pom Is Already in New Eridu

Leave a comment

If you’ve been exploring New Eridu lately and spotted a familiar orange Bangboo lurking near the video store — no, you’re not hallucinating. Pom-Pom, the beloved Astral Express conductor from Honkai: Star Rail, is already in Zenless Zone Zero, and HoYoverse has officially confirmed what this means: a full ZZZ × Honkai: Star Rail crossover is coming in Winter 2026.

ZZZ × Honkai Star Rail Crossover Confirmed

During the Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.1 “The Long Goodbye” Special Program on 17 July 2026, HoYoverse officially announced that a crossover between ZZZ and Honkai: Star Rail is in the works. The reveal was framed with typical HoYo humour: the official ZZZ X account posted that, after a “technical evaluation,” developers were “temporarily unable to fix the bug where Pom-Pomboo suddenly appeared on Sixth Street” — and so, to celebrate the little visitor, the collaboration was confirmed instead.

The crossover is officially scheduled for Winter 2026, which most fans expect to fall somewhere between December 2026 and early 2027. No specific in-game patch date has been announced yet. Detailed content reveals will come through official HoYoverse channels as the collaboration draws closer.

The in-game teaser is already live. If you log into ZZZ now, you can track down Pom-Pom — disguised as a mysterious Bangboo called “Pom-Pomboo” — at three locations on Sixth Street in New Eridu:

  • Random Play Video Store — near the videotape display, browsing for a book titled Pom-Pom’s Bizarre Adventure
  • Club 404
  • Gadget Store

The character has unique voicelines at each spot — well worth checking out if you’re an HSR fan who’s made the leap to ZZZ (or vice versa).

Which Characters Might Cross Over? (Leaks — Not Confirmed)

HoYoverse has not officially revealed which characters will appear in the crossover. Leaks circulating in the community suggest the following, though none of this is confirmed — treat it as speculation until HoYoverse says otherwise:

  • Robin (HSR) may join ZZZ’s Agent roster
  • Astra Yao and Ellen Jo (from ZZZ) may become playable in Honkai: Star Rail, reportedly tied to HSR patch 4.7

Whether the cross-over characters will be fully playable Agents/characters or limited cameos also hasn’t been confirmed. Full details to be confirmed by HoYoverse ahead of the Winter window.

What This Means for Singapore’s HoYo Community

Both Zenless Zone Zero and Honkai: Star Rail have enormous player bases in Singapore, and a crossover between the two is likely to be the kind of event that brings lapsed players back to both games simultaneously. ZZZ itself only launched on Steam in June with Version 3.0, so there’s a whole new PC audience ready for its first major HoYo cross-game event.

Timing-wise, if the Winter 2026 window lines up with the holiday season, it could overlap nicely with the end-of-year school break — a peak gaming period for Singapore players. Local fans heading to HoYo FEST 2026 at Suntec (31 July – 2 August) might even get a first look at crossover merchandise or teaser artwork at the booth.

In the meantime, ZZZ Version 3.1 “The Long Goodbye” itself launches on 29 July 2026, bringing new S-Rank Agents Remielle Dan and Sigrid de L’Azur alongside second-anniversary rewards. Plenty to do while waiting for Winter.

Zenless Zone Zero 3.1: Remielle and Sigrid Arrive in the 2nd Anniversary Update

Leave a comment

HoYoverse’s Zenless Zone Zero turns two this year, and the studio is marking the occasion properly. Version 3.1 “The Long Goodbye” goes live on 29 July 2026, bringing two new S-Rank agents — a long-lost Void Hunter and the first horse thiren ever to join the roster — along with anniversary rewards and new story chapters set in the floating city of Roscaelifer. For Singapore players, the timing could not be better: ZZZ 3.1 drops just two days before HoYoFest 2026 opens at Suntec.

Remielle Dan — The First-Generation Void Hunter

Remielle Dan arrives first, in Phase 1 of Version 3.1. She is one of the original seven agents to receive the Void Hunter designation — a first-generation operative who vanished under mysterious circumstances and has now resurfaced in the present-day story. Lore-wise she is affiliated with the Covenant of Dayat, making her one of the more unusual recruits the Cunning Hares will encounter on Roscaelifer.

Her kit is built around the Ether attribute and an Anomaly specialty, meaning she applies debuffs and triggers elemental reactions rather than dealing raw burst damage. In practice that translates to a four-move basic attack string with strong off-field follow-up potential — she pairs well with other Anomaly units already in most players’ rosters. English voice work is by Amber Lee Connors.

Sigrid de L’Azur — Ice Attacker from the Airspace Patrol

Phase 2 introduces Sigrid de L’Azur, the Deputy Administrative Director of the Airspace Patrol Department and — notably — the first horse thiren (a horse-human hybrid species) to become a playable agent in ZZZ. She wields a spear and shield, fights with Ice attribute in an Attack role, and has a split personality that has delighted early players on the CN server: by the book and strict on duty, but an enthusiastic baker and knitter in her downtime. The contrast is doing numbers on fan art already.

Multiple international voice actors have been confirmed: Dani Chambers (English), He Ruofan (Mandarin), Kaida Yūko (Japanese), and Kang Hae-na (Korean).

Anniversary Rewards and What to Expect on 29 July

Version 3.1 is the game’s second anniversary update — ZZZ launched globally on 4 July 2024. For the first anniversary (Version 2.1), HoYoverse gave players a free S-Rank agent selector and a full W-Engine alongside the usual event rewards. Assuming similar generosity this year, players logging in around 29 July should plan for a significant haul. New Drive Disc sets and a fresh wave of story chapters covering the Roscaelifer arc’s resolution are also confirmed for this version.

HoYoverse has not yet broadcast a dedicated 3.1 Special Program (the usual community livestream with promo codes), but one is expected within the next week or two before the patch drops. Keep an eye on the Game News section for codes and patch notes when they land.

Perfect Timing for Singapore: ZZZ 3.1 + HoYoFest the Same Weekend

If you are heading to HoYoFest 2026 at Suntec Singapore Convention Centre (31 July–2 August), you will hit the ground running — ZZZ 3.1 goes live two days before the event opens, so Remielle and Sigrid will already be pullable by the time you walk through the doors. HoYoFest typically has ZZZ activations alongside Genshin, Star Rail and ZZZ exhibits, so expect demo stations for 3.1 content on-site. Tickets for HoYoFest open 16 July; details in our earlier preview.

Zenless Zone Zero 3.0 Is Live — Sky Island, Steam Launch and Free Agents

Leave a comment

If you have been waiting for an excuse to finally try HoYoverse’s urban fantasy action RPG, Version 3.0 “A Sleepwalker’s Confession” just gave you the best one yet: Zenless Zone Zero is now on Steam, live as of today, 17 June 2026.

ZZZ Arrives on Steam — Same Account, Same Progress

The Steam launch is seamless for existing players: link your HoYoverse account and your save carries straight over. Singapore PC players who were holding out because of the separate HoYoverse launcher can now jump in through Steam with no fuss — full cross-platform progression between PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and mobile means you can pick up wherever you left off.

The Steam release also brings native ray-tracing, DLSS Super-Resolution, and Frame Generation to the PC version, giving higher-end rigs a noticeably sharper, smoother look at New Eridu and beyond.

Season 3 Opens: The Sky Island of Roscaelifer

Version 3.0 kicks off Season 3 with the debut of Roscaelifer, a sky island floating above New Eridu whose landmark districts — Roarin’ Brekkies and Spotlight Theater — are now open for exploration. The storyline centres on a mysterious surge of Ether energy and a discovery tied to the Phaethon faction agent Pyrois.

Two New S-Rank Agents — Plus a Free One

Season 3 introduces two new banner agents:

  • Velina — S-Rank Wind attribute, Anomaly build, and the first Wind attribute agent in the game’s roster.
  • Norma — S-Rank Fire attribute Stun agent, dropping in a later phase of 3.0.

Even if you are skipping banners, every player gets Pyrois for free — a Phaethon faction agent who comes complete with all future Mindscapes and an exclusive W-Engine. That is a generous handout for anyone who logs in during the Season 3 launch window.

Free Rewards: 1,600 Polychromes Up for Grabs

HoYoverse is handing out 1,600 Polychromes to celebrate the Season 3 launch: 600 Polychromes are available immediately on launch day, with another 1,000 arriving on 4 July 2026. The 3.0 update also adds a Drive Disc smart-discard function and two new permanent game modes — “Bangbang! The Genius and the Miracle Chip” and Annihilation Simulacrum — for those who want more to do between story beats.

Last Words

For Singapore players, this Steam release removes the last real barrier to entry. ZZZ is free to play, your HoYoverse account links instantly, and the day-one rewards — a free S-Rank agent plus 1,600 Polychromes — give returning and new Proxies alike a running start in Season 3. With HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore fresh in the memory, the local community is as active as it has ever been. Whether you are on PC, PS5, or your phone, New Eridu’s sky island is open today.

HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore: Dates, Venue and What to Expect

Leave a comment

If you’re a fan of Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, or Zenless Zone Zero, clear your schedule from 31 July — HoYo FEST 2026 is coming to Suntec Singapore for a three-day celebration, and it’s shaping up to be the biggest HoYoverse gathering the region has seen yet.

HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore — Dates and Venue

HoYoverse’s annual Southeast Asia fan festival returns for its 2026 edition with confirmed dates for Singapore: 31 July to 2 August 2026, hosted at Hall 403, Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre. That’s three days at one of the city’s most iconic event spaces right in the heart of the CBD.

The rest of the Southeast Asian leg runs 30 July to 2 August — Singapore is the one city that kicks off a day later, on the 31st.

What Games Are Featured?

HoYo FEST 2026 celebrates the full slate of active HoYoverse titles: Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, Honkai Impact 3rd, and Tears of Themis. Whether you’re a die-hard Traveller or a Trailblazer deep in the Astral Express crew, there should be something on the floor that speaks your language.

Artist Alley, Cosplay Runway and Stage Activities

The headline community activities at HoYo FEST 2026 are the Artist Alley and Stage Activities:

  • Artist Alley — an open marketplace where fan creators showcase and sell original merch, prints, and crafts inspired by HoYoverse’s games. Registration for a booth spot is open now via the official sign-up form on HoYoLAB.
  • Stage Activities — including an Open Stage where fans can perform, and a Cosplay Runway Walk for cosplayers to show off their best character builds in front of a live crowd. Applications for both are open now through the same registration link.

General attendance is open to everyone — the advance registration is specifically for those who want to participate on stage or in the Artist Alley, rather than for entry itself.

Across Southeast Asia

Singapore is one of six SEA cities hosting HoYo FEST 2026 this season. The other five are Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Bangkok (Thailand), Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), Manila (Philippines), and Jakarta (Indonesia). Note that Indonesia’s location has moved from Surabaya to Jakarta compared to 2025, which opens the event up to a bigger local fanbase.

Tickets and Admission

HoYoverse has not yet announced ticket pricing or admission details for the 2026 Singapore event — admission pricing is to be confirmed. Keep an eye on the official HoYoLAB announcement and HoYoverse’s social channels for updates closer to July.

Last words

For Singapore players who live and breathe HoYoverse games, HoYo FEST at Suntec is easily one of the most exciting summer calendar items to look forward to. Three days, five games, a cosplay runway, and an Artist Alley full of local fan talent — we’ll be there. Check out our other events coverage for more on what’s coming up for Singapore’s gaming and pop-culture calendar.

HoYo FEST 2026 Hits Singapore This August — Genshin, Star Rail & ZZZ at Suntec

Leave a comment

HoYoverse’s beloved annual fan festival is coming back to Singapore — and if you play Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, or Zenless Zone Zero, you’ll want to clear your calendar for the first weekend of August.

HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore: Dates, Venue, and What’s New

HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore runs from Friday, 31 July to Sunday, 2 August 2026 at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, Hall 403. That’s a three-day run — one day shorter than the other five Southeast Asian stops, which all kick off on the Thursday — so don’t wait until the weekend to plan your visit.

This year marks an expanded format for the festival: what started as a themed pop-up experience has grown into a full-fledged fan convention, with a dedicated exhibition floor, live stages, and a proper creator marketplace built in. Last year’s Singapore edition at Suntec drew strong crowds across all three days, and the 2026 edition looks set to be even more packed.

What’s Happening on the Convention Floor

HoYoverse has confirmed several activity streams for all six stops, including Singapore:

  • Themed Exhibitions — Immersive installations and interactive booths celebrating the worlds of Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero.
  • Exclusive Merchandise — Official HoYo FEST-edition goods, typically available only at the event. Stock tends to go fast.
  • Artist Alley — A dedicated creator marketplace where fan artists can showcase and sell original merchandise, illustrations, and crafts inspired by HoYoverse titles.
  • Open Stage — Fan-led performances and community segments on the main stage.
  • Cosplay Runway Walk — Cosplayers take the spotlight in a runway showcase. Whether you’re watching or walking, it’s always a highlight.

Want to Participate? Registration Is Open Now

HoYoverse has opened recruitment for two participation tracks — and if you’re a creator or cosplayer, this is your shot to be part of the event from the inside:

  • Artist Alley — Apply to set up a booth and sell your fan-made work directly to attendees. This is separate from the standard vendor slots at events like Doujin Market, so it’s a unique opportunity for HoYoverse fan creators specifically.
  • Stage Activities — Submit for the Open Stage or Cosplay Runway Walk. You’ll be performing or strutting before a live audience of fellow fans.

Registration links are pinned on the official social media pages for each game — check Honkai: Star Rail on Facebook and the official HoYoverse social channels for the direct form links. No registration deadline has been confirmed yet, but these slots fill up quickly, so apply early.

The Full Southeast Asia Tour

Singapore is the sixth and final stop on HoYo FEST 2026’s Southeast Asia run. The full schedule:

  • Bangkok — Central Ladprao, BCC Hall (30 Jul – 2 Aug)
  • Ho Chi Minh City — Sky Expo, Hall A4 (30 Jul – 2 Aug)
  • Jakarta — Pondok Indah Mall 3, City Hall (30 Jul – 2 Aug)
  • Kuala Lumpur — Pavilion Exhibition Centre, Halls 1–3 (30 Jul – 2 Aug)
  • Manila — SPACE at One Ayala, Halls A–D (30 Jul – 2 Aug)
  • Singapore — Suntec Convention Centre, Hall 403 (31 Jul – 2 Aug)

Ticket Prices and Entry Details

Ticket pricing for the Singapore leg has not been announced yet — watch the official HoYoverse Singapore social pages for updates. Past HoYo FEST editions in Singapore have offered a mix of free and ticketed zones, so it’s worth checking before you assume entry is fully free.

What This Means for Singapore Gamers

HoYoverse games have a massive player base here — Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero consistently rank among the most-played mobile and PC titles in Singapore, and the communities around each title are active and enthusiastic. For fans who’ve only ever experienced these games through a screen, HoYo FEST is genuinely one of the best chances to get hands-on with the worlds, meet other players in person, and pick up limited merch that doesn’t make it to retail.

Mark the dates: 31 July to 2 August, Suntec Convention Centre Hall 403. Keep an eye on the official HoYoverse channels for ticket sales and any Singapore-specific programming announcements. We’ll update this page as more details drop.
