Zenless Zone Zero Lighter expected release window

Lighter does not have an official release date as of writing; after all, he has been teased via the Zenless Zone Zero 1.3 drip marketing campaign. However, the latest reveal has pretty much confirmed that he will debut as a playable agent in either the first or second phase of version 1.3. If the game follows its six-week patch cycle, the update should be released around November 6, 2024.

Zenless Zone Zero drip marketing reveals Lighter’s character type, background, and more

Like every Zenless Zone Zero character, Lighter has been assigned a dedicated element and fighting style. To be specific, he will be a Fire agent with Stun specialization, meaning he will use his flaming abilities to stagger enemies. This will enable allies to unleash damage without being interrupted by the target.

Lighter is a member of the Sons of Calydon faction in ZZZ, which introduced powerful S-Rank agents like Caesar and Burnice to the playable roster. Lucy and Piper are two popular A-rank characters who also belong to the same gang. They can be paired together in a squad to unlock their respective additional abilities—the same can be expected from Lighter.

Besides, the entire faction and the Outer Ring respect Lighter for his self-confidence. Here’s what Luciana de Montefio a.k.a Lucy has to say about him:

“I admit there’s no one he can’t beat, but it’s not because I’ve lost to him!”

A fighter from the Outer Ring shared the following remark about Lighter’s appearance:

“An ominous ‘Red Scarf,’ just as eye-catching as the rumors say.”

The new agent has an iconic sense of fashion and wears a scarf around his neck paired with a black biker jacket.
