1.7 Zenless Zone Zero Special Program Airs on Same Day as Xbox One

HoYoVerse announced that the 1.7 Zenless Zone Zero Special Program will be a distinct and separate presentation from the Xbox Spotlight showcase. Both will appear on April 11, 2025. However, the Special Program will air at 3:30am PT/6:30am ET, while the Xbox Spotlight is at 10am PT/1pm ET. Both streams will appear on Twitch and YouTube.

As usual, this will be a presentation going over the more immediate update. It also seems like the last one we’ll get before the Season 2 2.0 launch. New story and event quests will come up. A Polychrome code will be shared. We’ll also learn about new and returning characters in the update.

Both of the new 1.7 characters already ended up being revealed. These are Vivian and Hugo. Both are part of the new Mockingbird faction revealed in 1.6. Vivian is especially notable, as she’s one of the rare Ether-type characters. HoYoVerse didn’t confirm their ranks, but it is likely that they are both S-rank units, with one appearing on the banner in the first half and the other on the second.

This means that the Zenless Zone Zero Xbox Spotlight will likely focus entirely on the Xbox Series X version of the game. HoYoVerse did note “new updates” will be covered as well. This could mean some additional details summarized from the earlier showcase for those tuning in to the platform-specific broadcast. There’s no estimate going over length and there aren’t as many details about content, so we’ll have to wait and see.

Zenless Zone Zero is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, an Xbox Series X version is on the way, and the Special Program for 1.7 airs at 3:30am PT/6:30am ET on April 11, 2025. Since the Trigger banner ends on April 22, 2025, we’ll likely see the 1.7 update launch on April 23, 2025.
