Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.6: Release date, new characters & more

New game content arriving soon

Gacha lovers and Zenless Zone Zero fans are ready for the upcoming Version 1.6, “Among the Forgotten Ruins,” which is going to release on March 12, 2025, across PS5, PC, iOS, and Android.

This miHoYo update, announced on February 28, tells a dramatic story of artifact theft, sets you against the cunning Mockingbird syndicate, and delves deep into Anby’s fascinating background. Let’s check out more details in this article.

A Heist-Fueled story and new daces

The update begins with a high-stakes relic auction in which you will face off against Mockingbird’s slick thieves, Hugo and Vivian. But who is the actual star? Anby’s backstory as Soldier 0 is revealed through new content and the Partner Archive (Trust) mechanism, providing fans with more depth.

• Silver Soldier – Anby (S-Rank Electric Attack): The electrified Anby unleashes Aftershock, a new status effect that zaps adversaries and increases squad crit damage. She’s a force of nature with an equally powerful tale.
• Trigger (S-Rank Electric Stun): Obol Squad’s newest member, paired with Soldier 11, Trigger stuns enemies with Purge, magnifying party damage and increasing Aftershock to eleven.
• Pulchra Fellini (A-Rank Physical Stun): From Blazewood to the Sons of Calydon, Pulchra is ready to bash and stagger—accessible yet impactful.
