New Event Teased for Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5

Summary

• A Zenless Zone Zero leak suggests a new event with a platformer game mode for Version 1.5.
• The leak hints at a temporary Grand Marcel event with a multiplayer platformer akin to Fall Guys.

A new leak for Zenless Zone Zero has unveiled an exciting event featuring a platformer-like game mode set to debut in Version 1.5. Scheduled for a late January release, this update will introduce new characters, Astra Yao and Evelyn, along with additional content to enrich the gaming experience.

In December, Zenless Zone Zero rolled out Version 1.4, which brought two new playable characters and an S-Rank Bangboo to the game. This update also introduced two permanent battle-focused gameplay modes. However, Zenless Zone Zero is known for its temporary game modes during special events, offering diverse gameplay experiences. A recent example is the "Bangboo vs Ethereal" event, which featured a unique tower defense mode with Bangboo. Now, according to a fresh leak, another innovative gameplay mode is on the horizon for the next update.

Community leaker Palito has shared that a multiplayer platformer game mode will be introduced in Zenless Zone Zero during Version 1.5. The leak includes screenshots of stages reminiscent of popular titles like Fall Guys. This mode is expected to be part of the temporary "Grand Marcel" event. It remains uncertain whether players will navigate these platform stages as their chosen characters or as Bangboo. Participants can look forward to earning substantial rewards, including Polychromes, alongside the rumored additional free pulls for Version 1.5.

Zenless Zone Zero Leak Reveals Platformer Game Mode Event

While a platformer mode is a novel addition to Zenless Zone Zero, developer HoYoverse has previously experimented with similar events in other games. For instance, Honkai Impact 3rd's 6.1 update in 2022 featured the "Midnight Chronicle" event, where players competed in stages similar to Fall Guys, using chibi versions of the game's characters. This precedent suggests that Zenless Zone Zero might adopt a similar approach, though the game's beloved Bangboo could also take center stage, given their popularity and existing roles in modes like Hollow Zero.

Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 is slated for release on January 22. This update will not only introduce Astra Yao and her bodyguard Evelyn but also potentially feature Zenless Zone Zero's first character skin for Nicole, a fan-favorite since the game's launch. Additionally, there are rumors that Ellen, another day-one character, will receive her own Agent Story in the upcoming patch.
