"Zenless Zone Zero: New Event Leaked for v1.5"

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 the 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 launch with Version 1.5. Scheduled for late January, this update will introduce characters Astra Yao and Evelyn, along with additional content.

In December, Zenless Zone Zero rolled out Version 1.4, which brought two new playable characters and an S-Rank Bangboo into the mix. The update also included two new permanent battle-focused gameplay modes. However, Zenless Zone Zero is known for adding temporary game modes during special events, offering diverse gameplay experiences. For instance, the recent "Bangboo vs Ethereal" event introduced a unique tower defense mode. Now, according to a new leak, another intriguing game mode is on the horizon for the next update.

Community leaker Palito has disclosed that Zenless Zone Zero will introduce a multiplayer platformer game mode in Version 1.5. The leak showcases screenshots of various stages reminiscent of popular titles like Fall Guys. This mode is expected to be part of the temporary "Grand Marcel" event rather than a permanent feature. It remains uncertain whether players will navigate these platformer stages as their chosen characters or as Bangboo. Participants can anticipate earning substantial rewards, such as Polychromes, in addition to the rumored extra 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 titles. The "Midnight Chronicle" event in Honkai Impact 3rd's 6.1 update in 2022 featured Fall Guys-like stages where players controlled chibi versions of the game's characters. This precedent suggests that Zenless Zone Zero might adopt a similar approach, although the popular Bangboo could also take center stage, given their existing role in modes like Hollow Zero and fans' desire for more Bangboo-centric gameplay.

Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 is slated for release on January 22. Alongside the new platformer event, the update will introduce Astra Yao and her bodyguard Evelyn to the roster. Earlier leaks have also hinted at the first character skin for Nicole, a fan-favorite since the game's launch, and a new Agent Story for the day-one character, Ellen, in the upcoming patch.
