Many avidplayers believe that Lighter might become playable in the future, and a number ofZenless Zone Zeroleaks seem to be hinting at the possibility.

There’s still no official news about Lighter’s possible release date, but previous leaks have suggested that he might launch inZenless Zone ZeroVersion 1.3 in November. If that’s true, Lighter may appear alongsideupcoming 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, manyZenless Zone Zerofans 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, especiallyS-rank Fire Anomaly character Burnice.
As a relatively new game,Zenless Zone Zerostill has a lot of ground to cover, especially when it comes to expanding its factions' stories.Zenless Zone ZeroVersion 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.
