Since the global launch on April 29, 2026, players have enjoyed pulling for powerful S-class units and building synergistic teams. With Version 1.0 banners still active, the developers have revealed several confirmed additions while teasing many more through trailers and social media. This guide breaks down the confirmed upcoming characters as well as the most prominent leaked and teased ones based on official materials.
Confirmed Upcoming Characters
Hotori
The immediate next addition is Hotori, owner of the Eibon Antique Shop. She arrives as an S-class Cosmos Esper with Solid element and survival-focused kit. Her standout ability centers on time-stopping mechanics that enhance both combat performance and town exploration interactions.
Her limited pickup banner titled Misty Tipsy Style launches on May 13, 2026, and runs until June 3, 2026. This marks the second half of Version 1.0 and offers players a strong defensive or utility option for team building.
Lacrimosa
Expected in Version 1.1 as part of the first banner phase, Lacrimosa is a Chaos attribute Esper affiliated with the Bureau of Anomaly Control's ETD-4 division. She has already appeared in the tutorial combat sequences and various spinoff quests, building high anticipation for her full playable release. Her design and kit suggest aggressive damage potential that will complement existing Chaos units.
Chaos
Following Lacrimosa in Version 1.1's second banner phase comes Chaos, a Lakshana user and member of the elite E.T.D. 6th Platoon. Official drip marketing and trailer footage highlight his dynamic presence, positioning him as a high-impact addition likely focused on damage or support roles within Lakshana teams.
Teased and Leaked Characters
A deeper pipeline of characters has surfaced through Co-Ex test trailers, voice actor messages, and in-game lore references. While exact release windows are not yet confirmed, these Espers are widely expected in upcoming versions beyond 1.1. Here is the current list with known details:
- Alphard: Director of the Bureau of Anomaly Control. As a high-ranking figure in the story, Alphard is anticipated to deliver powerful lore ties and strong combat capabilities once released.
- Akane Rin: Former member of the band LINES. Voice actor announcements and music venue connections point to an early release window, likely bringing unique thematic or support-oriented gameplay.
- Shinku: Operative from C.S.U. Division 2. Trailer appearances emphasize a melee or anomaly-focused fighting style, making her a fan favorite for aggressive playstyles.
- Iroi: Fellow C.S.U. Division 2 member, frequently shown alongside Shinku in teaser content and expected to form natural team synergies.
- Nitsa: Reserve member of E.T.D. 6th Platoon. Her trailer showcase suggests specialized support or utility within the platoon lineup.
- Linko: Member of E.T.D. 6th Platoon, often depicted with her partner Xiaozhen. This pairing hints at coordinated abilities in future content.
- Exe: Captain of E.T.D. 6th Platoon. Leadership role and trailer presence indicate a commanding combat presence.
- Elyms: Vice-Captain of E.T.D. 6th Platoon. Expected to bring balanced or tactical elements to the growing platoon roster.
- Blackbird: Associated with the Yggash Court. Mysterious design and faction ties suggest unique mechanics tied to this enigmatic group.
Additional minor figures such as Mismo, Otro, Toshi, Zankou, and Lavinia have appeared in side missions and spinoff stories but have not received the same level of playable teaser attention as the characters listed above.
The developers at NetEase have shown a commitment to regular content updates, so players can expect more official announcements, banner roadmaps, and kit previews in the coming weeks. Whether saving pulls for Hotori's imminent banner or holding out for the Version 1.1 duo of Lacrimosa and Chaos, the future roster promises exciting new strategies and deeper story integration.
