1.7 Zenless Zone Zero Release Date and Characters Set

As expected, the 1.7 Zenless Zone Zero Special Program confirmed the release date, highlighted new characters Hugo and Vivian, discussed updated quests and events, and confirmed we can earn a free A-rank Bangboo named Overtimeboo. Everything starts to arrive on April 23, 2025. 

The big deal is the closing out of the Mockingbird storyline involving Hugo and Vivian, who both join as playable S-Rank Agents over the course of this update. That chapter is called “Bury Your Tears With the Past [B].” Vivian will appear in the first half of the update alongside her W-Engine Flight of Fancy, while Hugo will appear in the second with his W-Engine Myriad Eclipse. Both will also get Partner Archives File segments. The new S-rank Bangboo is Robin. Events include Say It With Flowers for things like Polychromes, and a Bangboo Bash event and login with tokens for that supporter gacha. The two returning A-Rank characters who will be back via banners are Jane Doe and Lighter.

Here’s the general trailer for Zenless Zone Zero 1.7.

And here’s the full Special Program that went over the 1.7 Zenless Zone Zero characters, event, and release date.

As a reminder, even more news about the game will come up soon. HoYoVerse is holding an Xbox Spotlight for the game at 10am PT/1pm ET on April 11, 2025. So there’s additional news about the new version soon.

Zenless Zone Zero is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the release date for the 1.7 update is April 23, 2025. An Xbox Series X version is also on the way.
