Zenless Zone Zero is gearing up for its Version 1.6 update on March 12, 2025, but leaks have already surfaced about Version 1.7, revealing two new combat Bangboo and a significant playable character debut. Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming patch and what players can expect.
Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.6 Overview
Before diving into Version 1.7, let’s quickly recap what’s coming in Version 1.6:
- Three new playable characters:
- Trigger
- Soldier 11 Anby
- Pulchra (available for free via a limited event)
- Anby Demara’s backstory will finally be explored.
- A major story update focusing on Lycaon’s former faction, Mockingbird, and his connection to Hugo Vlad.
- Release Date: March 12, 2025
With Hugo Vlad’s story gaining more attention, leaks now suggest that his personal Bangboo will be joining the roster in Version 1.7.
Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.7 Leaks: New Combat Bangboo
According to reliable leaker Mero, Version 1.7 will introduce two new combat Bangboo:
- Robin (S-Rank) – A familiar Bangboo from Version 1.5’s dress-up event, associated with Hugo Vlad and Mockingbird.
- Overtimeboo (A-Rank) – A quirky Bangboo dressed as an office worker, complete with slippers and a neck pillow, rumored to attack using overheated office computers.
The leak was further supported by Donutleaker, who also confirmed the Bangboo rarities. Robin will retain its 1.5 appearance, while Overtimeboo brings a fresh, workaholic aesthetic to the game.
Hugo Vlad Joins the Playable Roster
One of the most anticipated additions in Version 1.7 is Hugo Vlad’s debut as a playable character.
What We Know About Hugo Vlad:
- First appeared in Version 1.5 during a Bangboo-related event.
- Connected to the Mockingbird faction and has ties to Lycaon.
- Likely to pair well with the new Bangboo Robin, as they share a past connection.
With Bangboo playing a big role in Hugo’s story, his gameplay style could feature synergies with these small robotic companions.
Bangboo’s Growing Role in Zenless Zone Zero
Bangboo have become a major part of ZZZ’s gameplay and events, with unique interactions beyond just combat.
Notable Bangboo Events in Previous Patches:
- Version 1.5: A dress-up event featuring Robin and a Bangboo platformer minigame (similar to Fall Guys).
- Version 1.7: Expected to expand Bangboo’s combat capabilities with the introduction of Robin and Overtimeboo.
As Zenless Zone Zero’s popularity grows, we can expect even more Bangboo variations and playable characters in future updates.
When Will Version 1.7 Release?
Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.7 is expected to launch in late April 2025.
However, rumors suggest that Version 1.7 might be the last patch before a major update—potentially skipping directly to Version 2.0 instead of 1.8 or 1.9.

Zenless Zone Zero’s Version 1.7 is shaping up to be an exciting update, with:
- Two new combat Bangboo (Robin & Overtimeboo)
- Hugo Vlad’s playable debut
