Zenless Zone Zero is gearing up for another exciting update, and a recent leak is turning heads by revealing an imposing new boss slated to join the game in Version 1.7. The leak, shared on the Zenless Zone Zero subreddit, showcases an ethereal enemy with spiked claws and a hulking structure—a variant of the “Corrupted Bandit: Ruthless Fiend” elite enemy that has already made waves in previous updates. This new boss is expected to enhance the game’s challenging “Expert Challenge” or “Notorious Hunt” modes, adding another layer to the evolving storyline.
Alongside this latest revelation, HoYoverse has already confirmed that Version 1.7 will also bring two new playable characters, Hugo Vlad and Vivian, who first appeared as NPCs during the “Grand Marcel Adventure” event in Version 1.5. With these characters now set to join the roster permanently, the upcoming update is shaping up to be one of the most content-rich yet, further expanding the immersive urban action RPG experience that fans love.
Zenless Zone Zero has consistently surprised its community with frequent updates introducing new bosses and dynamic events. Previous updates have featured innovative enemy challenges, such as the “Lumberjack” mecha in the Expert Challenge mode and the climactic “Sacrifice – Bringer” in the Notorious Hunt. The Version 1.7 update is expected to launch on April 23, promising not only the introduction of this formidable new boss but also additional content like the return of the popular “Grand Marcel Adventure” event and new Bangboos, along with re-runs of fan-favorite characters such as Jane Doe and Lighter.
This latest update reinforces Zenless Zone Zero’s commitment to providing a continuously evolving experience, combining fresh content with familiar elements that keep the gameplay both challenging and engaging. As the update rollout approaches, the community is buzzing with anticipation, eager to see how this new boss and the accompanying additions will influence the competitive landscape of the game.
