Zenless Zone Zero 3.1 Malaysia Time: 11:00 MYT, 29 Julai
Published: 2026-07-19
Zenless Zone Zero 3.1 opens 11:00 MYT on 29 Julai 2026
Set your alarm for 11:00 AM MYT (GMT+8) on Tuesday, 29 Julai 2026. That is when Version 3.1 "The Long Goodbye" is expected to go live on the Asia server, right after HoYoverse ends 3.0 at 06:00 MYT and runs the standard five-hour maintenance window. All times in this guide are Malaysia Time (MYT). If the servers wobble at rollout (as they often do on anniversary patches), the in-client countdown on the launcher is the honest source of truth. Keep the launcher open from about 10:45, and let it verify files while you finish work in KL or class in Petaling Jaya.
Two facts matter for Malaysian players on day one. First, this is the second-anniversary patch, so every account gets a free selectable S-Rank Agent plus a matched signature W-Engine, a fixed reward package, not an RNG drop. Second, the first banner half runs Remielle Dan through around mid-August, then Sigrid takes over from roughly 19 Ogos. If you want both, plan your pulls before you even launch. The anniversary Polychrome dump lands in your mailbox on login. Do not waste them on the first ten-pull impulse. Read the pity math further down.
REDX Game is publishing this timing page early because the phrase Malaysian searchers actually type is "zenless zone zero 3.1 malaysia time", and most answers ranking today are US-timezone posts that force you to do your own maths. This page skips that step. Sources: GosuGamers' 3.1 livestream summary, cross-checked against 3.0 maintenance cadence via Noisy Pixel.
Remielle Dan and Sigrid: who they are and why the anniversary reward matters
Remielle Dan headlines Phase 1. She is an S-Rank Anomaly Agent and one of the first-generation Void Hunters in the lore. Her kit uses a four-move basic attack string with off-field damage. That is a playstyle rare enough in the current roster that HoYoverse is teasing it as the reason to skip Phase 2 if you must choose. Anomaly players who benched their Physical bruisers after Patch 3.0's balance pass will want her, especially if they had to slow their rotation and now have team-budget room for a proper off-field carry.
Sigrid de L'Azur arrives in Phase 2 from roughly 19 Ogos. She is an S-Rank Ice Attack Agent, a "striking horse thiren" (per the reveal) who fights with a spear-and-shield combo and, off the field, enjoys baking and knitting. In-story she is Deputy Administrative Director of the Airspace Patrol Department, which slots the update's Roscaelifer arc together with your reunion with Truvia. Story-driven Ice players who skipped the entire 3.0 crop of Physical-attribute reruns should hold pulls for her, especially if their squad still leans on Ellen and needs a modern Attack anchor for high-scoring Deadly Assault rotations.
The anniversary reward turns the maths in your favour. Choose one of Jane Doe, Soldier 0 – Anby, Trigger, Hugo, or Lucia for free, with the signature W-Engine to match. Add 1,600 free Polychromes in the mailbox, plus roughly 20+ Signal Searches (some sources cite 30 Encrypted Master Tapes; treat the exact split as "wait for the actual claim screen"). That is a real anniversary, not the four-pull tokenism HoYo's competitors have been serving.
Anniversary pull maths: what 1,600 Polychromes actually buys you
The Exclusive Signal Search costs 160 Polychromes per pull. So 1,600 free Polychromes = 10 pulls. Nice, round, small. Do not celebrate too hard. Hard pity on the Exclusive banner is 90 pulls, and soft pity starts around 74. To reach hard pity from zero takes 14,400 Polychromes, call it 90 pulls flat.
Bundling in the ~20 free Signal Searches puts a patient F2P player around 25 to 35 pulls at anniversary launch, before daily commissions and store resets kick in. That is enough to walk into Remielle's soft-pity zone if your account already has a small standing reserve, but nowhere near enough for both new Agents plus a signature W-Engine. Pick a lane.
Now for the MYR cost math, since Malaysian players ask this every patch. Monochromes are the paid currency you convert into Polychromes 1:1. The mid-tier pack is officially US$14.99 for 980 Monochromes on the App Store, which at Apple's own MYR conversion works out to roughly RM 62 to RM 65 per 980 before their pricing round-ups. REDX Game's direct top-up routes through the HoYoverse regional MYR ladder without the App Store's 30% tax, and the packs are delivered in 1 to 3 minutes straight to your UID. No gift-card middle step. Skip the long queue at 11:00 MYT when the whole region is refreshing at once. Grab the value tier that clears the 3.1 Battle Pass first, then top up as pity approaches. Do not front-load the whole banner.
Senang gila to say "just buy for pity", but the disciplined move for the Malaysian F2P wallet is one RM 20 to RM 30 starter pack to double the first-purchase bonus, then wait for the exact pity number. Queue the smaller pack via REDX Game's ZZZ page in a minute.
How to be ready before 11:00 MYT on 29 Julai
Do these in order, ideally on 28 Julai night so day one is smooth:
- Clear your Trust rank quests and weekly Notorious Hunts. The reset rolls at 04:00 MYT on Tuesday. Anything you leave on the table converts to nothing.
- Empty your battery to 0 before maintenance. New patches sometimes gift a battery refill. Do not have a full bar wasting it.
- Update the client early. The Asia patch is typically 4 to 6 GB. If you are on a Malaysian home fibre plan, that is a five-minute download at 100 Mbps in Petaling Jaya or Johor Bahru. On mobile data at a cybercafé in Ipoh, plan for longer.
- Decide your anniversary Agent choice before login. Jane Doe for Anomaly synergy, Soldier 0 – Anby for Electric teams, Trigger for support, Hugo for defensive Ice, Lucia for Physical. Do not agonise for two hours mid-cutscene.
- Queue your top-up. If you know you will pull, load the pack you need at REDX Game's ZZZ direct top-up before 10:00 MYT. Delivery lands in 1 to 3 minutes, and payment via DuitNow QR, GrabPay, Boost, or Touch 'n Go clears in 30 seconds from a Kuching or Penang internet café.
ZZZ 3.1 timing FAQ for Malaysian players
What time exactly does ZZZ 3.1 open in Malaysia?
The confirmed target is roughly 11:00 AM MYT on Tuesday, 29 Julai 2026, following the end of 3.0 at 06:00 MYT and a five-hour maintenance window. Watch the launcher countdown for the exact-to-the-minute rollout. HoYoverse sometimes shifts by ten to twenty minutes on anniversary patches.
Is the free S-Rank Agent really free or do I have to pull?
Genuinely free, one selectable Agent per account. You pick from Jane Doe, Soldier 0 – Anby, Trigger, Hugo, or Lucia, and the matching signature W-Engine comes with. The event runs through the version, so you have time to decide, but the reward only claims once.
How many pulls do I need to guarantee Remielle Dan?
Hard pity is 90 pulls (14,400 Polychromes) on the Exclusive Signal Search. Soft pity kicks in around pull 74. If you start with the 1,600 free Polychromes plus 20+ Signal Searches from the anniversary drop, you are roughly a third of the way to guaranteed. Comfortable if you have a modest reserve, tight if you are dry.
Where is the cheapest way to top up Monochromes in Malaysia?
Direct top-up via REDX Game beats App Store pricing because it skips the 30% Apple tax and routes through HoYoverse's official MYR ladder. Delivery is 1 to 3 minutes, payment via DuitNow QR, GrabPay, Boost, or Touch 'n Go. Boleh tahan for a Tuesday-morning top-up.
Will there be a Malaysian esports tie-in?
ZZZ is not part of MPL, so do not expect a Selangor Red Giants or Team SMG stream slot on patch day. Some Malaysian MPL creators do stream anniversary patches on off-days between MLBB scrim blocks, so watch their channels late afternoon MYT on 29 Julai for casual first-look reactions.
What if I miss the 11:00 MYT window?
The anniversary rewards remain claimable through the whole 3.1 patch (about six weeks), and Remielle Dan's Phase 1 banner runs from launch to roughly 19 Ogos before Sigrid takes the featured slot. Missing the exact first hour costs you nothing but bragging rights. The mailbox waits.
Which Agent should I pick from the free selector?
If you started in 3.0 and need a clear DPS, Jane Doe or Hugo cover the widest team compositions. Should you already own most core meta units, Trigger's team utility is the "one you never regret". Not a decision to make in five seconds, but not one worth losing sleep over either.
