Beyond Astra and Evelyn, Version 1.5 offers a wealth of new content. A new special story expands the narrative following Version 1.4's conclusion. The S-Rank Bangboo unit, Snap, becomes available, alongside new check-in events, further game optimizations, and evolutions for existing activities. Players can tackle the new Hollow Zero phase, "Cleanse Calamity," experience the arcade game "Mach 25," and adorn their favorite characters with new costumes for Ellen, Nicole, and Astra Yao.

A highly anticipated feature finally arrives in Version 1.5: banner reruns. Mirroring HoYoverse's other titles (Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail), past S-Rank agents return. Phase 1 features Ellen Joe and her W-Engine, while Phase 2 brings back Qingyi and her W-Engine.
