The update launches on June 17. The demo introduces the new city Los Califa, a floating island above the old capital with a retro-futuristic aesthetic and advanced Bangboo technology. The highlight is the new S-Rank Agent Pyrois, a combat entity manifested from the protagonist's \"Legacy of Helios\" power. Pyrois can be summoned independently and fights alongside the protagonist, who appears in the ultimate skill animation. Players can obtain Pyrois and a new costume for the protagonist for free by progressing through the main story. Over subsequent versions, all of Pyrois's Mindscape Cinema duplicates and signature W-Engine will also be distributed. The update also adds two new S-Rank Agents: Verina, the game's first Wind-type Anomaly Agent, and Normu, a Fire-type Stun Agent. A Steam version launches simultaneously on June 17, and the PC version receives a visual upgrade with ray tracing, DLSS, and frame generation support.","whyItMatters":"Pyrois effectively makes the protagonist a playable agent for the first time, a significant mechanical shift that changes how players engage with combat and team composition.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eDuring the June 6 preview program, HoYoverse revealed that the Ver.3.0 main story sends Phaethon to Los Califa to treat the mysterious Ether power running wild inside their body. Players become involved in a crisis related to the first Void Hunter \"Remiel Dan.\" The new city is a top-secret floating island isolated from the lower world. Its Bangboo technology has advanced beyond the familiar cylindrical models, with human-limbed Bangboo visible throughout the area.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePyrois is affiliated with the Phaethon faction. In the standing illustration, the protagonists Lynn and Akira appear behind Pyrois. The ultimate skill shows the protagonist being carried like a princess into battle. Pyrois has a command display that lets players choose from four skills to activate. Over subsequent versions, all of Pyrois's Mindscape Cinema duplicates and signature S-Rank W-Engine will be distributed sequentially.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVerina is the game's first Wind-type Anomaly Agent. She shifts enemies into a \"Windburn\" state. When Windburn acts with other status anomalies, a unique \"Turbulence\" effect deals area damage of the corresponding attribute. If the team has two or more Anomaly specialty agents or agents with the same attribute, Verina's Windburn and Turbulence damage increases. Normu is a Fire-type Stun Agent whose battle revolves around her trademark hat. The hat automatically accumulates \"Preheat\" whether Normu is on the field or not. When resources are sufficient, she converts other members' \"Quick Assist\" into \"Chain Skills,\" giving the team additional Chain Attack opportunities. The limited-time channel also includes reruns for Ye Shunguang and Chinatsu. Verina's new costume \"Leisure Silhouette,\" with a morpho butterfly and dragonfly motif, will appear in the store.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA collaboration with the conveyor belt sushi chain Sushiro was announced, with details to come later.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"ZZZ Ver.3.0 makes the protagonist a playable agent: Pyrois fights alongside Phaethon in its ultimate skill, and all copies will be given free over several versions.","twitterPost":"The new city Los Califa has Bangboo with human-like limbs.
