Aria announced for Zenless Zone Zero 2.6

Aria is one of the Angels of Delusion faction members in Zenless Zone Zero, who will soon join the playable roster. Aside from confirming the agent’s debut in the version 2.6 update, the drip marketing campaign reveals that she is the lead vocalist from the group. It appears she has a separate mechanical avatar.

Perhaps the citizens of New Eridu don't really know the person behind the suit. However, she appears to have a supportive fan base that appreciates her skills. The drip marketing campaign shared some NPC dialogues regarding Aria, which provides a general overview of her character.

Sunna, a fellow Angels of Delusion member, mentions how Aria inspired her while interacting with a fan group late at night:

"Pulling all-nighters to write songs? No sweat! Just thinking about having my music brought to life by Aria's voice makes me feel like I could write a hundred more!"

A cheerful fan from one of Aria’s concerts blurted out:

"She's the lead vocalist, but she can dance non-stop for so long... Are we sure she's not an intelligent construct in disguise?"

Despite being a vocalist, Aris seems to be efficient in combat. A kid once saved in the Hollow said the following about her:

"Mom! There was this super pretty lady in the Hollow just now... She saved me while singing and dancing!"
