1.3 Zenless Zone Zero Release Date and Characters Set

HoYoVerse announced not only the 1.3 Zenless Zone Zero release date, but confirmed the two new characters who will debut after the update arrives. The next version launches on November 6, 2024. Lighter and Yanagi will appear as the next two Zenless Zone Zero S-rank units. Also, the October 25, 2024 redemption code that can be entered today until the day ends or they run out is VIRTUALREVENGE, which nets you 300 Polychromes.

In terms of the Zenless Zone Zero story, 1.3 will involve us helping the Sons of Calydon characters again. It finishes out “Tour de Inferno” at the Outer Ring. Meanwhile, we’ll also learn more about the Hollow Investigation Association and Section 6 through events. Some of the new additions are “En-Nah” Assistant Program, Help Kai, Virtual Battlefield Mayhem and When Sandwiches Come a Knockin’. We’ll also get more Combat Simulation and Routine Cleanup rewards from some events. 

Details about the new characters, their new weapons, and the two new Bangboo came up too. Lighter is a Stun Agent who deals Fire damage. His signature W-Engine is called Blazing Laurel. Section 6’s Yanagi is an Anomaly agent who deals Electric damage. Her W-Engine is Timeweaver. As for the Bangboo, we can recruit the A-rank ones Baddieboo or Knightboo.

Here’s the official trailer for the update. After the 35 second mark, you can see Zenless Zone Zero Yanagi and Lighter gameplay.
