Meet the Zenless Zone Zero Character Hugo

HoYoVerse confirmed there will be two 1.7 Zenless Zone Zero characters belonging to the Mockingbird faction debuting in the near future, and one of them is Hugo. He’s teased in the latest storyline, where he makes a cameo appearance. However, we won’t get to use the Agent until after that update.

The initial information shared some insights into what we can expect from him. He’ll be an Attack type character, so he’ll be a DPS unit on a team. He’ll also deal Ice element damage. However, we don’t know if his weapon will be a Pierce, Slash, or Strike type. We also don’t know for sure if he’ll be an A-rank or S-rank player. When it came to comments from other individuals, the only recognizable one came from Lycaon. He criticized Hugo’s methods for dealing with issues. 

Here are all three infographics for Hugo that HoYoVerse shared.

An initial YouTube Short teaser for Hugo appeared. This offers a chance to see more of the character art and hear his voice actors. Here’s the English version of that trailer:

And his Japanese voice actor can be heard in this version of the short.

Hugo is one of two Mockingbird faction characters revealed for Zenless Zone Zero so far. The other is Vivian. She’s going to be not only an Anomaly unit, which isn’t always as common as other types, but is tied to the unique Ether element. 

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