The developers of urban aRPG Zenless Zone Zero have been on hand during the Version 1.6 Special Program to share the first details of the upcoming update “Among the Forgotten Ruins”. The update lands on March 12th.
In Version 1.6 TV Schedule, Soldier 11 goes missing. Worried about her safety, Anby dons her old Obsidian Division’s Silver Squad uniform and joins forces with OBOL’s sniper known as Trigger. But what starts as a search and rescue operation ends up revealing a deep conspiracy, one that ties into Anby’s past, the secrets of Silver Company, and more. The history between Soldier 11 and Anby will be explored in this update.
Meanwhile, in the main quest, Mockingbird’s Hugo Vlad and Vivian, Lycaon, Proxies, and other characters will have their battles to fight in the aftermath of a major auction commissioned by the Mayor of New Eridu. Tensions ignite among the factions seeking to secure the artifact related to Sacrifice. Amidst the intrigue, phantom thieves Hugo and Vivian appear to be deliberately drawing close to the Proxies, blurring the line between ally and adversary.
