A recent Zenless Zone Zero leak suggests that players will be receiving a free copy of one of Version 1.6's new characters, with Pulchra reportedly as a free reward. The urban action RPG from HoYoverse has seen a plethora of free goodies given out throughout the game's life, ranging from free characters to even a free skin.

Pulchra was also confirmed for a playable release, after first being featured during the Sons of Calydon story and seeing rumors about her playability.

Zenless Zone Zero Leak Teases Free Version 1.6 Character

A new update shared by prominent Zenless Zone Zero leaker Palito is hinting at the potential of players receiving Pulchra for free in Version 1.6. According to the leak, players will be able to receive Pulchra for free as a reward for completing a new event, tentatively translated as "Panther Express." The leak does not provide any details about what the event will entail, though Pulchra may play a major role in Version 1.5 given her joining the Sons of Calydon. Zenless Zone Zero's Version 1.6 is set to debut on March 13.

The potential for players to receive a free character during Version 1.6 follows some of the most highly-anticipated releases in the game's history. Version 1.4 saw Hoshimi Miyabi's debut heavily shake up the game's meta, launching as one of Zenless Zone Zero's most powerful DPS characters, alongside a free five-star character with Asaba Harumasa. Version 1.5 would follow up Miyabi with a long-rumored character in New Eridu starlet Astra Yao while also teasing new roster members like Hugo and Vivian.

Version 1.6's free character rumors have also been joined recently by major hints about the future of Zenless Zone Zero. A recent update from a trusted leaker suggested that Zenless Zone Zero may already be preparing for Version 2.0, teasing that the game's first release cycle will end after Version 1.7. Previous leaks have also hinted that HoYoverse has more than 30 characters in the works for Zenless Zone Zero, implying the developer is already preparing for its next story arc. The future looks bright for Zenless Zone Zero fans with new characters and plenty of exciting content coming soon.

Don't go into the Hollows.
I know, I know, there's Ether in the Hollows, bizarre creations, even heritage of the old civilization, all precious treasures. But don't forget, there's also spatial disorder, monsters and mutants running rampant, and ultimately, a disaster that could swallow the world. They are not a place where ordinary people should go.
So don't go into Hollows.
Or at least, don't go in alone.
If you insist on getting into danger, go to New Eridu first.
This city where the good and the bad mix has many people who need the Hollows: Powerful wealthy tycoons, gangs that stalk the streets, conspiracy nuts, and ruthless officials.
Make your preparations there, find strong allies, and most importantly—
Find a "Proxy".
Only they can guide people out of the maze-like Hollows.
Good luck!
