Summary
Zenless Zone Zeroreveals all the Version 1.7 details in a new special program livestream, confirming which agents and reruns they can expect to find as well. It’s been a busy week for HoYoverse, as the company is not only revealing the upcoming content of Version 1.7, but holding another livestream for the Xbox version ofZenless Zone Zeroand has begun teasing Season 2.
Following its traditional schedule, fans finally got to see all the new content arriving inside of Version 1.7 forZenless Zone Zero. As many leaks and rumors have indicated, Version 1.7 centers on the Mockingbird faction, which players met in the 1.6 story. However, that’s not all, as HoYoverse also confirmed special events happening within 1.7, including the return ofZenless Zone Zero’sFall Guys-like modein an all-new ranked mode called Bangboo Bash.
For most players, the biggest part of these new version updates are the agent banners, new characters that players can try and unlock. For the first half of the update, known as Phase 1,Zenless Zone Zeroplayers can try and pull for Vivian, an Ether Anomaly S-Rank agent that uses an umbrella to attack her enemies. Her unique mechanic allows her to switch between ground and aerial attacks using “Flight Feathers” and she can even trigger attacks when she’s off the field, similar to Solider-0 Anby’s Aftershock attacks.

In the second half of the update,Hugo becomes the featuredZenless Zone ZeroS-Rank agent. As an Ice Attacker, Hugo uses a scythe-style weapon at close range and also from distance after throwing it towards his enemy. Hugo’s unique playstyle is around an effect called Totalize, which increases his damage based on the enemies’ remaining stun duration. Hugo also benefits from other stun agents on the team, which further increases his chain-attack damage output.
As the current version 1.6 starts to wind down, attention has already begun to turn towards the future ofZenless Zone Zero. For many fans, that represents the upcoming Version 1.7 centered around the Mockingbird faction, which made it more surprising when HoYoverse released a ton of new details onSeason 2 forZenless Zone Zero. While promising a new trailer in the coming days, players clearly have a lot to look forward to as HoYoverse not only adds new content, but teases substantial changes to the core experience.
