Zenless Zone Zero is generating buzz as the release of Update 1.7 approaches, with the character Hugo Vlad prominently featured as a potential addition to the S-Rank banner. Initially uncovered by keen-eyed leakers, Hugo has established himself as a vital component in the game’s expanding plot.
With the next significant update just around the corner, players are eagerly anticipating improvements tied to the New Eridu’s Defense Force and the unfolding stories surrounding characters Soldier 11 and Anby. The recent livestream for Zenless Zone Zero Update 1.6 has already provided glimpses into new narratives, especially a brewing conflict between Lycaon and the emerging Mockingbird faction. HoYoverse is clearly intensifying the spotlight on both Vivian and Hugo Vlad for the forthcoming update.
Hugo Vlad’s profile paints him as a fascinating character; he identifies himself as a collector, hinting at potentially darker agendas. This enigmatic figure is classified as an Attacker and belongs to the Ice attribute category. According to leaks, Hugo may later be unveiled as a boss character in the Zenless Zone Zero world, following a path similar to that of Scaramouche from Genshin Impact, who transitioned from a boss role to a playable character.

In an intriguing development, HoYoverse has announced that Hugo Vlad’s character model will undergo enhancements influenced by player feedback. While specific details about these changes remain under wraps, the revamped model is expected to debut with Update 1.7. Currently, Hugo maintains a sleek appearance characterized by a tailored suit complete with a tie, a strikingly long blonde ponytail, and distinctly captivating red and green eyes.





Hugo’s introduction follows the announcement of Vivian as the first character for Update 1.7. Both characters are becoming increasingly woven into the current narrative trajectory, with Hugo notably implicated in an incident where he allegedly swapped one of Astra’s prized disks with a counterfeit before she could detect the switch. Their roles are expected to evolve further in the forthcoming update, hinting at a showdown involving Victoria Housekeeping and its formidable leader, Lycaon.
