1.6 Zenless Zone Zero Update Details Anby’s History

The 1.6 Zenless Zone Zero Special Program not only teased insight into the background of Cunning Hares member Anby, but also flat out went into her lore ahead of her S-rank Agent version debut. She will appear alongside a new story, other characters, and new location. It will launch on March 12, 2025. 

Anby is something of a mascot character for Zenless Zone Zero, and she’s the first A-rank Agent to get an S-rank version with Silver Soldier 0 – Anby. Her name also signifies her tie to Soldier 11, which seemed hinted at in-game prior to this point. Trigger is the other new S-rank unit, while Pulchra is an A-rank one. S-rank characters Burnice and Zhuyuan will also return on rerun banners. 

Here’s how all three of the new characters look:

As for the story, it will send us into what seems like could be a more dramatic moment. Phaethon are at an auction for a relic, as are mysterious new Zenless Zone Zero characters Hugo and Vivian. This also marks the debut of a Mockingbird faction as people attempt to get a Sacrifice artifact. We’ll also end up fighting a new boss named Geppetto. 

Some quality of life adjustments will come as well. Battlefield Purge will include Difficulty VI as an option. We will need to unlock that, however. HoYoVerse also stated “character progression mechanics” will be updated. 

Here’s the full 1.6 Zenless Zone Zero Special Program that covers everything coming in the update on March 12, 2025. 

Zenless Zone Zero is available on the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the 1.6 update arrives on March 12, 2025.
