Developed by HoYoverse, the global entertainment brand known for Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero is a fast-paced urban fantasy ARPG set in a world ravaged by supernatural disasters called “Hollows.” Players take on the role of a Proxy—specialized guides who lead diverse squads through Hollow-infested zones to uncover secrets, battle threats, and carry out contracts.
What’s New in Ver.1.7?
Version 1.7, titled “Tears of Sorrow and the Past”, concludes the main story’s Season 1 with high-stakes confrontations and emotional revelations. The update introduces new S-rank Agents Vivian and Hugo, both members of the secretive Mockingbird faction, each equipped with unique elemental abilities and combat mechanics. Alongside them is the mischievous companion Bomp, Robin, who uses card-based effects in battle.
Two additional agents—Jane (Physical Anomaly) and Light (Fire Stun)—will also be featured in limited-time revival banners throughout the update.
