Hey Proxies! The main story of Season 2 has wrapped up, and HoYoverse is treating us to a musical interlude before we dive into Season 3. The special program for Version 2.6, coinciding with the Angels of Delusion Debut Press Conference, kicks off on January 30, 2026. I'm so excited for this! 🎤 The announcement promised: "With a string of notes and a sequence of images, we retrace the precious days and nights before they light up the stage. With a heartbeat and an echo, we compose a dreamlike future that belongs solely to them and you." Honestly, the hype is real. Meeting this new group is going to make the wait totally worthwhile.

Meet the Angels of Delusion: The Trio

This brand-new idol group, Angels of Delusion, consists of three members, and two of them are arriving in V2.6! Let me break them down for you:

  • Sunna: The composer and pianist of the group. If you played the summer event, you might recognize her! To her teammates, she's this incredibly spirited friend who gets completely swept away when she's deep into writing music, singing, or playing the piano. 🎹 It's her whole world. But here's the funny part—to the owner of the practice room they rent, the whole trio kinda comes off as... well, careless airheads who are always late with the rent! 😅 It's not malicious, though. Sunna just enters this intense flow state while composing and totally tunes out everything else around her, including pesky things like due dates. We've all been there, right?

  • Aria: The main vocalist! This girl is the powerhouse singer. Just thinking about Aria's voice breathing life into her songs is enough to inspire Sunna to pull all-nighters working on compositions. Aria's talent is no joke—she can sing, she can dance non-stop, and the lore even hints she can save unruly children from the Hollows? 🕶️ That's some serious skill. It makes you wonder... are we sure she isn't some kind of super-powered Intelligent Construct in disguise? The mystery is part of her charm!

  • Nangong Yu: The third member! While she's not part of the V2.6 debut roster, she's a core part of the group's dynamic. We don't have all her details yet, but seeing how she interacts with the passionate Sunna and the incredible Aria is going to be a treat. The group's chemistry is what makes idols so fun to follow!

What to Expect from V2.6 & The Idol Life

This update seems like it's going to be a deep dive into the behind-the-scenes world of these aspiring idols. It's not just about the glitz and glamour of the stage; it's about the struggle, the practice, and the bonds they form. Think of it as a slice-of-life musical adventure set in the Zenless Zone Zero universe.

My predictions and hopes for the event include:

  1. New Story Quests: Following Sunna and Aria's journey from the practice room to their big debut. I want to see their dynamic with the (probably exasperated) practice room owner!

  2. Rhythm/Music Gameplay: It's an idol update! I'm fully expecting some new rhythm-based combat challenges or mini-games. Imagine syncing attacks to the beat of their songs. 🎶

  3. Exclusive Event Rewards: Thematic outfits, new Bangboo, profile cards, and of course, the chance to learn more about this fascinating trio.

  4. Hints for Season 3: Even filler arcs often drop little lore breadcrumbs. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for any clues about where the main story is headed next.

The shift from the intense, plot-heavy Season 2 to this character-focused, musical side story is a brilliant move. It lets us connect with New Eridu on a different level and builds out the world in such a fun way. Who's ready to be their first fan? I know I am! Let me know in the comments which Angel you're most excited to meet. Is it the passionate composer Sunna or the mysterious vocalist Aria? See you on January 30th for the conference! ✨
