ZZZ Birthday Gift Update Overview — What Changed for 2nd Anniversary

Zenless Zone Zero is updating its birthday gift system for the game's 2nd anniversary. Starting July 4, 2026 (server time), all Proxy birthday emails will feature upgraded rewards: the new Custom-Made Flower Gift replaces the previous Special Custom Ordered Cake, and the Stargazy namecard replaces the old "The Other Side" namecard. The update applies to Asia, TW/HK/MO, and Europe servers on July 4, while America servers get it one day earlier on July 3, 2026 at server midnight.

Old vs New Birthday Rewards Comparison

Old Rewards (Pre-July 4, 2026):

• Special Custom Ordered Cake — contains Ether Battery (+60 Battery Charge) + Cake Souvenir
• "The Other Side" Namecard (permanent profile decoration)

New Rewards (July 4, 2026 onward):

• Custom-Made Flower Gift — contains new consumable rewards
• Stargazy (Improved) Namecard (permanent profile decoration)

Note: The exact contents of the Custom-Made Flower Gift have not been officially detailed, but it is expected to provide similar utility to the previous Ether Battery reward.
