Summary
A newZenless Zone Zeroleak revealed that a new NPC, named Lucius, will be added to the game in the Version 1.1 update. This newZenless Zone ZeroNPC looks very similar to a playable character fromHonkai: Star Rail, causing many players to speculate about a potential tie between both games.
Similarly toGenshin ImpactandHonkai: Star Rail,HoYoverse’sZenless Zone Zerofeatures a gacha systemthat lets players obtain new playable characters and gear. InZenless Zone Zero, players may obtain these new characters and gear from Signal Searches during each update’s phase. Alongside event-exclusive Signal Searches,Zenless Zone Zeroincludes “Star-Studded Cast” and “An Outstanding Partner” banners, allowing players to obtain characters and gear from a pool that’s not limited to a specific update. Moreover, each update introduces a variety of limited-time events and side quests, with some involving all-new characters that make their presence known in New Eridu for the first time.
Reddit user mayonakanosasayaki recentlyposted aZenless Zone Zeroleakfrom leaker babymonstersleak, revealing the NPC model for Lucius. This NPC will be introduced inZenless Zone ZeroVersion 1.1, but it’s unclear what role he will play in the main story or the game’s side quests. However, the community is speculating heavily about the character, since Lucius looks very similar toHonkai: Star Rail’sAventurine, the IPC Strategic Investment Department senior manager and a member of the Ten Stonehearts. Some users jokingly remark that Aventurine was “isekai’d” and brought into the world ofZenless Zone Zeroas Lucius. Despite the speculation and the NPC’s similar design, there is no concrete evidence pointing to Lucius being another identity for Aventurine so far.
