Zenless Zone Zero 3rd Season Upcoming Characters – Every New Character Explained

Saika | 2026-05-18

With the upcoming release of the Zenless Zone Zero version 3.0 update patch and the start of the 3rd season's main story quest, a special teaser trailer featuring all the brand-new characters coming to the game has been released. In this article, we'll go over every character teased for the 3rd season main story and speculate on their release dates and elements.

As players embark on the 3rd season of the main story, they will travel to a brand-new region called Roscaelifer, the Floating City. Along the way, they'll meet many different characters who will eventually become playable Agents. Based on the 3rd season teaser trailer, we can confirm a total of 11 new characters that will most likely become playable, so start saving those pulls.

1. Pyrois

Introduced in the version 2.8 main story quest, Pyrois serves as a new companion for us in the new region and is the first playable Agent players will meet. Pyrois is a special life form manifested with the power of Phaethon and will likely serve as a way for the main protagonist to fight in the new season. In essence, Pyrois is a summonable familiar that will serve as the main device for Phaethon to partake in battles during the 3rd season actively.

Players will be able to meet and obtain Pyrois for free during the version 3.0 update by finishing that patch's main story quest.

2. Velina

The second major character players will meet during the 3rd season were first teased during the prologue of the 2nd season main story quest – Velina.

Velina is the head of the External Strategy Department, an upcoming faction in Zenless Zone Zero, and she will serve as the player's guide upon arriving at Roscaelifer. She is a dignified woman often seen with her fan.

Players will be able to meet and obtain Velina from the first-phase banners of the Zenless Zone Zero 3.0 update patch. She will be an S-Rank Agent of the Anomaly specialty, wielding the entirely new Wind Attribute.

3. Norma

Another character players will meet is Norma, another member of the External Strategy Department. She is an energetic girl who specializes in dealing with Bangboo and works under Velina. She also appeared alongside Velina in the 2nd season prologue as a teaser.

Players will be able to recruit Norma as a playable Agent of the Fire Attribute and Stun specialty during the second phase of the version 3.0 update patch.

4. Claret

The fourth character shown in the teaser is Claret, a fiery girl with an attitude. She appears to be designed as a tsundere-type character and is very likely from a brand-new faction.

It is currently unknown when – or even if – she will become playable. However, given her unique design, she is very likely to be playable at some point.

5. Roxy

The fifth character revealed in the teaser is Roxy, a blue-haired girl who seems to be the intellectual type. She appears alongside Claret, so it's likely that the two share the same faction and will be released together as a team.

Like Claret, Roxy's release date as a playable Agent remains unknown, but she will probably launch alongside Claret.

6. Sigrid

Another character players will meet during the 3rd season is Sigrid – or "Lady Sigrid" as NPCs call her, suggesting she is a woman of high status. From the trailer and her outfit, she likely serves as a sort of leader for a knight order in Roscaelifer, and most likely acts as its protector.

As with other unconfirmed characters on this list, it is unclear when she will become playable.

7. The Storyteller

The seventh character teased in the 3rd season trailer is The Storyteller – a mysterious woman with mysterious powers. From her name, initial appearance, and general abilities, she will likely serve as a key figure who helps us uncover Phaethon's past in this new region. Her powers are associated with butterflies, with ink-like lines forming butterfly wings behind her.

Given her uniqueness, she is very likely to become a playable Agent in the future.

8. Phoenix

The eighth character revealed is a uniquely designed girl named Phoenix, with fire wings behind her back and a lava-filled area to match. Based on her overall aesthetic, Phoenix is likely an experiment or a cyborg with the ability to control fire. As her name suggests, she may also be able to revive herself by burning.

As with other characters, it's not confirmed when she will become playable, but considering her and The Storyteller's aesthetics, the two characters are likely connected in some way.

9. Severian

The ninth character in the trailer is one that many players might recognize, as he was revealed during the 2nd story chapter prologue – Severian. He is the older brother of Seth Lowell and a high-ranking NEPS officer known to work directly with people of high standing.

Little is known about his availability as a playable Agent. However, since he already has a workable in-game model, he will likely be released earlier than the more complexly designed characters.

10. Remielle

One of the two main highlights of the trailer and one of the most important characters in the upcoming story chapter, our tenth teased character is Remielle – one of the original Void Hunters.

As one of the most well-known original Void Hunters, players can expect Remielle to be a heavily featured character in the upcoming 3rd season update patches, similar to other Void Hunters before her, like Miyabi and Ye Shunguang. Since she is a Void Hunter, Remielle will likely be released as a playable character during a major update patch, such as the anniversary or version 3.6.

11. Sunbringer

The final teased character for the 3rd season main story – and the other most important character of the season – is none other than Sunbringer, another of the original Void Hunters.

Sunbringer is one of the oldest Void Hunters and was one of the original ones revealed in the main story. She is also the creator of Bangboos. From the teaser, we see Remielle confronting Sunbringer and demanding answers. This makes it very likely that we may have to face Sunbringer as a threat during the 3rd season.

That said, story trailers can often be misleading. The chances of Sunbringer becoming a playable Agent are still very high. As a Void Hunter, if she does become playable, she will likely debut during a very important update patch for the 3rd season of Zenless Zone Zero.

Conclusion

With that, we've gone over all the upcoming teased characters coming to the 3rd main story season of Zenless Zone Zero.
