Recent leaks from Zenless Zone Zero are teasing a brand-new faction coming to the game for some of its newest characters in Version 1.6.

Zenless Zone Zero Leak Shows New Version 1.6 Areas

A new leak shared by prominent HoYoverse leaker Palito is showing off four new areas in Zenless Zone Zero's Version 1.6. The images show off four unique locations coming during the update, with an "office," a "lab," "FortuneSquare Mall," and an "Auction" area. The leak does not confirm how any of the individual areas will be implemented, though the lab is rumored to be connected to new character Hugo. The new areas are currently expected to be added with Version 1.6, scheduled to launch on March 13.

The addition of Zenless Zone Zero's new areas are expected to heavily play into the story of rumored new character Hugo Vlad. Hugo first appeared within Zenless Zone Zero during the Agent Story for Version 1.0 S-Rank character Lycaon, also featured during Version 1.5's flagship event as an opponent in the "Ridu's Got Boo" competition. Hugo is also heavily rumored to become a playable character at some point in the future, though his potential release window has yet to be revealed.

As Zenless Zone Zero moves towards the conclusion of its Version 1.5 update, fans shouldn't have to wait much longer for all the details on Version 1.6. Zenless Zone Zero will likely announce the "Special Program" livestream for Version 1.6 within the coming days, with just two weeks remaining until the update's release. Leaks have also begun to hint at the future of the game, with Zenless Zone Zero's Version 2.0 rumored to be coming following Version 1.7. Zenless Zone Zero fans will look to have several new places to explore with the launch of its next update.
