HoYoverse has officially announced the upcoming launch of Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.7, titled “Bury Your Tears with the Past” scheduled for release on April 23, 2025. This update represents a significant milestone, delivering the grand finale to Season 1 of the main storyline. Players will witness the resolution of the Sacrifice crisis and delve into crucial secrets surrounding the Mockingbird faction.
New Storyline
The narrative in this new version intensifies as Proxies explore Vivian’s shadowed past and the circumstances surrounding Hugo’s demise. As tensions between Mockingbird and the TOPS consortium escalate, players will embark on a mission into enemy territory to locate the Sacrifice Core. This chapter promises to finally expose the conspiracy orchestrated by the Exaltists and reveal the underlying truth of the Sacrifice crisis that has plagued New Eridu. A formidable new ally, described as a Void Hunter-rank special investigator assigned by the Mayor, will join forces with the Proxies to confront the looming darkness.
New Agents and Featured Reruns
Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.7Â introduces two new S-Rank Agents from Mockingbird, bringing fresh dynamics to combat scenarios:
Vivian: An S-Rank Ether Anomaly Agent. She wields a parasol and rapier with elegance, seamlessly switching between grounded and aerial combat styles. Her Basic Attack, “Featherbloom,” enhances Anomaly damage and synergizes with allies’ EX Special Attacks to increase the team’s overall Corruption damage output.
Hugo: An S-Rank Ice Attack Agent. His unique weapon is a suitcase that transforms into a sharp scythe for sweeping attacks. He notably utilizes the Totalize effect, significantly increasing his damage when hitting stunned enemies based on their remaining stun duration.
Furthermore, Robin, Mockingbird’s agile Bangboo companion, joins the fray, throwing randomized cards with various effects at enemies. For collectors and team builders, Agents Jane (Physical Anomaly) and Lighter (Fire Stun) will be featured again on the gacha banners during this version.
Events and Activities
Beyond the main storyline’s climax, Version 1.7 offers engaging events for players to enjoy:
“Say It With Flowers”: Players take on the temporary role of a flower shop manager, tasked with creating custom floral arrangements for various clients. Completing these commissions unlocks a permanent interactive floral arrangement feature for the Quality Time mode and grants special rewards, including the A-Rank Bangboo Overtimeboo.
“Bangboo Bash”: This popular competitive event returns with a ranked mode format. Proxies will compete in obstacle and survival courses, earning points based on their performance and rank. Achieving high ranks yields exclusive event titles, Polychromes, and other valuable rewards.
