Two New S-Rank Agents:

Her story arc continues the search for Ye Shiyuan, with early previews hinting at dramatic visual transformations connected to the mysterious Qingming Sword effects.
Zhao – Representing the Krampus Compliance Authority, this Ice Defense agent brings HP-scaling damage mechanics and protective playstyles. Her Black Branch-inspired design suggests she’ll play a crucial role in the upcoming narrative developments.
According to HoYoverse’s official announcement, the Special Program will showcase all content from the upcoming patch, including story quests, exploration zones, and major seasonal events. Discover more about upcoming character releases in gacha gaming.

What Else to Expect
The Special Program will reveal detailed kit breakdowns for both Zhao and Ye Shunguang, including abilities, playstyles, and signature W-Engines. Expect gameplay demonstrations showcasing their combat mechanics in various content modes.
Teaser footage from TGA 2025 briefly revealed Angels of Delusion content, suggesting the livestream may include early previews or silhouettes of characters planned beyond Version 2.5. While full kit reveals remain unlikely, faction hints and cinematics could tease future content roadmaps.
Version 2.5 launches during the holiday season’s tail end, making a winter-themed major event highly probable. Previous versions delivered standout events like “Fantasy Resort” (2.1) and “Band of Brave Bangboo” (2.2), setting high expectations for this update’s seasonal content.

Banner Schedule & Planning
Phase 1 (December 30 – January 21, 2026): Features one of the new S-rank agents
Phase 2 (January 21 – February 17, 2026): Introduces the second S-rank agent
Free-to-play players can expect approximately 8,000-12,000 Polychrome throughout the 50-day version cycle through daily tasks (60 per day), event rewards, achievements, and livestream codes. Combined with existing savings, this provides reasonable opportunities for targeted pulls.
FAQs
Q: Will I miss the codes if I can’t watch the livestream live?
No, you won’t miss out entirely. The three codes get shared throughout the livestream at intervals, but they’re also immediately posted on community sites like Reddit, Discord, and social media within minutes of reveal. The codes remain active for approximately 24 hours after the livestream ends, giving you plenty of time to redeem them. However, watching live ensures you get them first and can redeem immediately without searching community posts.
