Summary

  • A new leak gives more details about the character Lighter in Zenless Zone Zero.
  • The leak hints that Lighter may become playable in Zenless Zone Zero as an S-rank Fire character.

Some new Zenless Zone Zero leaks have revealed interesting details about Lighter. The rumored character has appeared alongside members of Sons of Calydon, the Zenless Zone Zero version of a biker gang, and many fans have noticed him lurking in the background throughout the game's story.

Sons of Calydon is a faction of bikers that live in the Outer Ring of New Eridu, comprised of leader Caesar King and members Lucy de Montefio, Piper Wheel, Burnice White, and Lighter. So far, Lighter is the only NPC from this faction, and Zenless Zone Zero fans have spotted him in Sons of Calydon cinematics and can find him hanging out around Sixth Street and Lumina Square.

Many avid players believe that Lighter might become playable in the future, and a number of Zenless Zone Zero leaks seem to be hinting at the possibility. A Reddit user reposted leaker donut's report on Lighter's alleged full splash art, which shows him wearing a leather jacket with gold accents similar to other Sons of Calydon members' outfits. Another Reddit post citing the same leaker shared that Lighter may likely be an S-rank Fire character, but his fighting style remains under wraps.

There's still no official news about Lighter's possible release date, but previous leaks have suggested that he might launch in Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.3 in November. If that's true, Lighter may appear alongside upcoming banner character Tsukishiro Yanagi, a new Electric Anomaly character. Of course, fans should take these rumors with a grain of salt as HoYoverse could still delay Lighter's release to a later update.

In the comments on the Reddit post, many Zenless Zone Zero fans expressed their excitement about pulling for Lighter, adding that they loved seeing his NPC design in-game. It will also be interesting to see how Lighter will synergize with his fellow Sons of Calydon teammates, especially S-rank Fire Anomaly character Burnice.

As a relatively new game, Zenless Zone Zero still has a lot of ground to cover, especially when it comes to expanding its factions' stories. Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.2's quest story, "Tour De Inferno," put the spotlight on Sons of Calydon, giving players a closer look at the members' relationships and their motivations. Fans can surely expect more exciting story beats in future updates, including relationship-building missions to get to know certain characters more deeply.

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!
